In the mid-90s, VW invented the iconic Harlequin livery. Originally as Special series for the then VW Polo thought, the wave also spilled over to other VW, even if only the then smallest Wolfsburg was available with the paintwork. Today, original Harlequin livery polos are offered at exceptional prices as they are rare and sought after. The color combination is also appreciated in Great Britain and tuner Paul Hunter thought that the four-color design would also go well with a Caddy. After all, this also comes from Volkswagen.

Together with the red wheel nuts, they match the shrill harlequin appearance. Tire technical are located Pirelli P Zero tires in 225/35 R19 format on the car. Finally, the central one was also installed Twin pipe exhaust of the Golf R32, which from our point of view optimally sets the scene for the increased sportiness.

Recaro sports seats of the type Sportster CS as well as a Sport steering wheel from the Golf GTD, which has been upgraded with decorative harlequin stitching, indicate the potential of the Caddy in terms of driving dynamics.
