Darren Butchart
Mattallics Detailing is welcoming our first brand representative. We adore this van and can't wait to see it evolve over the next few months... keep reading to find out more about Darren and his VW Caddy.
Darren contacted us to try and discover a bit more about Mattallics Detailing and the products/services we offer. After a brief chat, we realised that we had more than just automotive detailing in common! We’re huge VW fans here at Mattallics and with a bright green caddy under our wing, we couldn’t miss out on this opportunity. Darren has a profound passion for detailing and customising his van, much like the Mattallics Team. It's a beautiful colour and a beautiful van, so we're sure you won't miss it on stand at various car shows!

Mattallics Mini Track Day Special

Mattallics Mini #3

Mattallics Mini #2
We go into detail on the issues the mini was having and how we managed to resolve them. Our mini Has been away for a few weeks whilst its been having some deep engine work being carried out in preparation to hit the track! Whilst we had access to parts of the engine, various tuning went down and a bit of an interior strip out took place.
