Love it, these new models are giving me ideas!! Not good. I would put a diff tyre on though mate with a bit of rim protection, not that you will hit them, just think it looks better.

Stunning matey, the colour is gorgeous, if i were to have another van it would be either black or the same as yours, i was looking at a standard one the other day, it's amazing the difference a set of wheels and coilovers etc can make.

Will deffo be keeping an eye on this. 8)

thanks for the kind response people, quite a few to reply to and i cant find the multi quote button so sorry if i miss you ou ill do my best.

its lowered all the way down on the front but in the pics it had only been sat on the floor for roughly 10 minutes so its still bedding in and the back is on the second notch as the rear is still empty.

the van was finished using Swissvax shield, its not the most expensive i use but its very durable which is what i want on the van really, it also helps protect from stone chips to a certain extent so it all helps.

still trying to get used to the colour if im totally honest as it does look a shade of brown from certain angles

im not able to run larger tyres as im pretty sure it will start to foul in a few areas plus i love how these sit theres just a slight bit of poke out back and the fronts sit pretty much flush

i have a few other plans for it but only small stuff for now just to clean it up really but ill update as i go. ill just be enjoying it for the next few months and ill definitely be getting it to a few shows so hopefully meet some of you there.

it really is amazing what a set of wheels and a nice drop make to them though but i had this planned before i even put down the deposit as i did a little photoshop to please my self, probably the most expensive photoshop ive even done to be honest, the plate really finishes it off for me though, it looks fake its that good, was a little expensive but i gathered its as good an advertisement for my detailing company as the van is.

pleased you all like though and its inspired me to do more.

Thanks Phil

Absolutely love the van mate, and the plate is awesome! Worth every penny. What colour is it. It's hard to tell on my phone.

Yer the plate is a great touch. The good thing with them is they don't really lose any money.

Did you cover the ply with carpet before fitting?
