Think was that one, is very good as bikes have hit it and not caused any damage.
And yeah the front mudguards saves the sides loads getting to dirtyImage

So another update have fitted a 12v pressure washer for the bikes so keeps the van nice and clean Image
Only like £20 from China and is really good for money, can't justify £100+ for portable ones!Image

Also van has now finally been lowered after a year of ownership!
Is on Eibach 60mm Sportline, and rides so much nicer and not to low for bad car parks when go biking Image
For anyone that want yours lowered try Demon Tweeks, I got a really good price for kit, fitting and laser alignment for £497.
Anyway here's the pics......

Also gave her a really good clean, with clay bar, machine polish, cherry glaze then a coat of fusso wax Image

Happy with it as keeps everything tidy and cost £29 for anyone wanting to know.....

Hi golfchick,
This is the eBay page I bought it off. Keeps the wires neater and easier to find any problems in the future.

Thanks steadlock & Hef.
Yeah compared to the meet and sat like a 4x4 and loads of wood chucked in the back haha.
Want to colour code side trims and number plate light holder. And looks at getting side bar done in gloss black this year.

Wicked cheers thanks for that. Fair play doing the upholstery yourself, I’m trying to find someone to do my future build because I don’t sew!

I was surprised that it wasn't that hard really. Could do a much nicer job but for me just done very neat folds and then stapled it tight on the underneath.....is good enough for me anyway.

Couple of companies quoted me already, the one said £110 with another £80 on top for foam and the other company reckoned £300 which is just insane. I’ve spotted there’s a custom curtain/fabric shop in kidderminster so I’m thinking of going in there and asking. Already found a foam shop and it’s £50 for one big piece.
