It is a standard caddy bumper with integrated grill just painted gloss black.

Bit done today at work got the overhead shelf down and sprayed in black including the sun visors and got the drivers side pillar sprayed as well ,

Tomorrow I'll get the the passengers pillar done then recover the ceiling in the cab with a light grey fabric .

I used the plastic primer then the black trim bumper spray (photo below )
Looks a hell of a lot better in side and feel more comfy,

Recently fitted a Land Rover door release to the rear door so I can open it when inside the van when we are camping.

Yeah if you have anymore details as to where to get hold of one of these or part numbers that would be much appreciated

Looks like it's simple to fit and a bit more discrete compared to the vw caddy one

great idea, just found a load on ebay and seem a lot cheaper than a the vw one. Never really though about it but I bet there are loads of different one you could use

Just ordered one off Ebay for £18

Fortunately this one cost me nothing as a friend of mine gave it to me. I was going to use a jaguar bonnet latch but i couldn’t find it in my jungle of a shed. Its an easy little mod. All you need is a bicycle gear or break cable and a connector block. You might have to open up the hole on the back of the latch plate for an M8 cap head bolt but thats easy enough. I will say that there is a bit of a technique to closing the door from the inside

I think a handle to pull it shut will be the next thing
