Hi guys, fairly new to the forum, picked up my ex bg van about 5 weeks ago. It was suggested I post a picture here so seeing as I’ve had it cleaned today I thought it was a good time to take a photo.
Apart from the s-line seats from an a7 that were already fitted when I bought it and the sound deadening and insulation I’ve put in the load area everything is pretty much standard.
I didn’t think not having colour coded bumpers would bother me but after seeing all the awesome stuff you guys have done to your vans it’s a top priority now haha

Body coloured bumper are a must.
The trouble is that it doesn’t stop there
I was just going to change my wheels and do my bumpers now look what I’ve done

I’ve had mine 2 years and still ain’t had the bumpers done , it’s a big cash layout that I ain’t got at mo and I have been to loads of body shops who say that the work involved and end product ain’t good ,but the hybrid bumpers are mint , Sean’s looks ace . I wouldn’t mind trying a wrap of some kind but on the other hand would the front end take a right pounding, might put the question out there on a new thread , really nice seats Ashley

@peely cheers man, they are super comfy. Did a round trip from Manchester to Newquay last week and was very grateful for them . They aren’t wired in yet but that’s a definite on the list just not quite sure where to start doing it.

I was thinking about the wrapping route too, I’ve got a couple of mates who own a wrapping business here in Manchester so was thinking about asking them their opinion.

@Sean1066 your van looks insane, I had a nosey through your build thread. If mine ever ends up looking half as good as yours I’ll be happy.

If you’re going to wire in the seats I can really recommend stan-the-man for the job of making the loom
He did mine, and he did a splendid job, and was very helpful all the way

Yes I second that , Stan did my loom and it’s perfect he even sends a how to and where to with the looms , brilliant

[Ashhey]

Thanks for the recommendation guys, I’ll definitely hit him up for it when the time comes and money permits. Got a few other bits and pieces in line first though.
