Hi guys. It's been a while. Getting there though.

Painted the other door handles.

One more door handle then onto the bump strips

Image

Image

The door handle lights where a Bastard to fit and the handle dont sit flush anymore so I pulled it out.

Image

Then a delivery turned up :)

I'm going to give her an intense detail over the weekend and a service.

Oops I didn't put the pictures of the wheels on. Haha

Just needs lowering now. I think I'm going to leave the bumpers black as I like the look and it's a bit different to the touran bumper.

Cheers bud. I'm proud of it to be honest I don't wanna ruin it. Using it for work is taking its toll

Hi guys it's been a while since I've updated my thread. Not a lot has happened bar lowering her. And a few little bits and pieces. I'll get some better pictures in the morning :)

Nice pressed plates

Cheeky :)

The lowering happened

So update time. Considering I'm a tight git I waited and waited until things came up and finally managed to grab some mega bargains. First up fitted my egr delete kit from dark side.

Image

Then decided to take a trip to a breakers yard to get some seats. Found a nice set of recaro seats from a mk4 golf but decided to check the other yard and came across these badboys for a unquestionable £30 each.

Image

Extremely nice compared to the shabby old seats.

Image

Next little gem I found was a touran hiding in the corner and managed to bag a arm rest console for £10.

Image

Image

So now my interior is awesome. Such a great upgrade. And that console is a bastard to fit.

While walking around treasure cove I found this sneaky bugger hiding under the touran. Also £10

Image

So all in I spent £80. Powerful stuff. The smile on my face when I got home was priceless.


Image

Just need coil overs for the front and il be happy. Lowering springs just aren't enough.

Do golf springs and shocks fit?

Bargain tastic, bud! Looking amazing....well worth a peak at when you first got her, to see just how much you've done. Not sure about Golf coilovers, certainly seen it mentioned before, might be worth having a search on the forum.

Cheers buddy. I'll have a look into the suspension. Also I've just bagged a w8 interior light for her too.

Happy new year to you all :)

Really enjoyed reading through this thread. No massive mods, just clear vision of an abused van turned into something very tidy.
Like the puddle lights under the wing mirrors, was that a kit you fitted btw?
