What did you do to your van today?

[Raizo]

nothing too special but a simple one that makes a huge difference

Rear seat belt covers, as i said not a big one, but soo satisfying





also sorted out sidebars and got a rear spoiler in the paint shop

Wow this is what I was looking for since I removed side panels from my Caddy maxi.
Where can I get those things?

VW
TPS
LLLParts
etc.

It's a VW part (both sides available - Ron may have the part number handy !)

@ron_jeremy, too bloody much mate but wanted it ever since I first saw it. Birthday present to myself! So worth it so far I absolutely love it, it was the screen mirroring function that really sold it to me, plus the amount of customisation options really make it!

@petrev thanks mate, I'm well happy with it!

@Jase14 the best Iv ever had is 71mpg, if you keep it below 60 and go extra careful on the throttle it's possible

Love the live view from your drone going along in front of you.
It's amazing.

Looks boss Gazza! Is it a vw OEM unit?

A drone view, now that's an idea!!! Na it's just a photo screen mirrored from phone

@the swan fiend no mate it's an aftermarket one , its been designed and customised for TMG themselves so has their branding on start up and apparently slightly different internals than the AliExpress ones that have issues of turning off randomly. This is what iv been told anyway.
First impressions of TMG I have to say iv been impressed, they are definitely not cheap! But for example they own the mould and apparently a patent for the mk8gti bumpers to make them as one piece instead of hybrid cut and joins. They are also in the process of designing 3d printed honeycomb hybrid grills, they really do seem to be investing some money into what they do!

Looking good


They seem a different design to the usual Vanstyle arch covers ?

These are the VW original parts from the VW Nutzfahrzeuge catalog.

Ah !
Thanks

Very smart

[the swan fiend]

@Gazza31112. Sounds decent mate, hopefully it will prove to be as good as they say long term. 1 piece custom bumpers would be very popular but not cheap I imagine.

So don't normally post about things I've done to my van, mostly because I'm always doin mods n stuff, but I'm really impressed with the difference this one has made to how the van drives,
Caddy subframe, Passat B6 wishbones, S3 bushes, what a difference in the handling

Hi mate do you have part numbers for subframe, passat arms and s3 bushes?

Had the van for a week now - mainly fettling with bits & bobs and ordering things. New load liner and floor mats are here & in, windows tinted and new (to me) steels are on. Changed the headlight bulbs too. Feeling a lot happier and looking less like a disability vehicle now!

Got roof rack, full rear (extendable) liner & cupholder liner on the way.

Main task for the next few days it to keep persuading the spare wheel carrier bolts out. Any ideas how to get some good access to give the bolts a tickle with a wire brush but it's a bit tight! I used to have an flexible foot-long drill attachment that would be just the ticket I think

Until then, it's penetrating oil and prayers for me!

Looking good

Tinted windows make a helluva difference

Great colour too.
