@Pinnacle100
I had a similar issue a few weeks back. Turned out (as suggested by others) that the new bumper came with a bracket already fitted so the old one attached to the body needs to be completely removed.

Hope this helps

Thanks caddy stu82. So you removed all the black plastic part that’s mounted to the body of the van , was it just plastic rivets holding it on do you remember?
I’ll remove the bumper again and try that and see how I get on

T5 steels only have 7 cutouts in that triangle style or 20 in the circle version so I'd say there the ATS versions in the correct PDC to fit? They do look good tho. Really like the Van colour too!

Wheels (and van) look great
:thumbsup:

Look like steels, and not quite the same hole pattern as the very similar ATS Cup alloys (8 holes).
T5 have wrong bolt pattern I think (&8 holes, T6 are 7), so they must be some other VW at a guess.
Hope someone can tell us the exact right info as they do look superb.

Thanks lads.
They are genuine T5 steels fitted with adaptors in a very rare 16" size.. I should have put bigger rubbers on..

Today I rug doctored some Touran seats I bought a month back. Fair to say, they were bogging! Pleased with the outcome and they look like new. Now to get the van through its MOT and I'll attempt to fit them myself
