how much did this cost you? got a part number? I've had the ply off my door for a few days now figuring out what I need to do this.

I know the lock actuator unit is good to go so just need that handle, 2 screws and connecting rod I assume?

Made a sub box for under/behind passenger seat and ordered the last few bits for the rest of the amp and door speaker upgrade

Fitted pioneer MVH-AV290BT to the van today and while I was at it done a very quick wrap job of the surround. Now need to sort out some better speakers lol!

Picked up the van from the dealer then drove a 420 mile round trip to pick up some Sortimo racking.

Today I finished off fitting my split charge system, fuse box, inverter and socket/battery display pods...
Got my Ikea toilet/bed box extension back in.

Things to do... cut bulk head down to trim off the sides (even though the curtains hide it all)... get a roof rack like the one in the photos, recess the solar panels in to it, and fit it.

I need to do this mod myself as sleep in my van sometimes and rear door handle would help a lot.
Can you get this part from tps for a 2013 model?
Thanks

Fitted some new wheels and tyres. Finally got rid of the steelies... Think they are originally Mercedes wheels but they were a gumtree bargain so couldn't resist. Had to use spigot rings as the centre bore is larger and fitted some brand new Nexen N8000 tyres. Absolutely love the look of these wheels. Lowering is next on the cards!

All the exciting things. Had the rear window tinted and fitted mud flaps this evening.
