Thanks mate, trying to make my mind up on wheels size but I think it’s swayed me to 18’s good mix of wheel and tyre on them. What size of tyres you got?

Any idea how much drop you have done? Cheers

Aeriels.... They come with 3 Aeriels on each side. I want to take them off.

1. Do I need to keep any for a stereo
2. Best way to seal the holes

Also.

Rear seat conversion, Im based in Manchester. Has anyone done this and who did you use..

My 3 aerials are still on as they sit behind my roof rails and you can’t see them that much but people have taken them out and used plastic tube caps and sealant to fill holes . My rear seat conversion came from a Vw touran second row , I did this Myself but you need to weld the floor plates in and put seat belts in , there are people on eBay selling the full kit , there are companies that install it for you too . If you have full access to the forum there are build threads all about the installation process 👍👍also your aerial for your stereo are in the wing mirror so no need to keep them .

Awesome. Cheers for all the info mate. I'm pretty new. So don't have full access.
I'm thinking of getting roof rails. So might see if what they look like.

I live in Manchester, iv been googling the shit out of rear seat conversions. I can't seem to come across anyone in Manchester or surrounding area. You don't happen to know of any do you?

I only now sirus in Birmingham , I think that’s how it’s spelt🤫just an idea as this company does special conversions for wheelchair access so maybe search for vehicle conversion for wheelchairs or words to that effect 👍
