Before and After Pics of Our Cali

[DMB9R]

Once we purchased our Cali recently we decided that it had to have a few changes. Not everyone will like it but we do and like to be different.

ABT Grille and Splitter. Axe EX20 rims. Lowered on Bilstein B14 suspension and Genuine VW DRL's

 

[calikev]

Very nice indeed well done. just don't park next to me :laugh2

Cracking look, I'm going ABT on my new demo, and the B14 kit, on 20's.

Looks stunning in sand beige :clap

To be honest it's totally transformed the ride. A lot of roll before and the look has just transformed it into a different vehicle.

Looking good there
I'm just in the process of fitting the drls (once painted), did you fit them yourself/was it easy?
How much drop on the B14s?

 

[DMB9R]

Sorry i never fitted the DRL's myself. The drop is about 70mm i think?

We had a 60mm drop on our old T5 conversion, never again as it makes the van very unpractial for 99% of campsites unless you only ever use a hard standing. In the end we went back to -30mm, I am not sure how -70mm would of coped with the Cirencester meet

 

[DMB9R]

That's the beauty of Coilovers. A bit of research on various campsites and adjust it to whatever we like?

Are your DRL's the VW accessory ones? Thanks

I think you van looks absolutely stunning, I'm on an extended road trip at the moment and find my van wallowing in the mountain passes, i think a set of Bilsteins and an uprated anti-roll bar might do the trick.

 

[DMB9R]

larrylamb yes they are the VW ones.

 

[andyj007]
