Thanks Pal..

Cheap too, £160 for front and rear rocco seats, sold standard front seats for £100. Made bits for rear mod myself plus a bit of help from my neighbour then £120 to trim rear seat..

£180 job done, cheapest mod on van!!

Hello Pete.
Very nice carpeting job.
I like the color of your carpet. Can you say me where are you bought your carpet and the color?
By exemple: megavanmat smoke color.
I want carpeting my caddy and i like this color!!
I find a similar color on web but I can't join owner for question!
I has a blue caddy with helios wheels... Maybe some know him??... Forum member?

To Pete:

Thank you for the link (exploria) I didn't know. But I do not manage to find the page of carpets.
I found links to line out but how and where buy carpets??

Stone174:

I know your blog!! I discovered it yesterday. Very interesting!! I wanted to join you on your blog but I didn't find your address to leave you a message...

Yes, I know, Ive not a gift for computing!! :oops: :oops:

Question to Stone174: What color do you used for carpeting. Anthracite or Smoke?
To Vanguards, there is graphite color to in stretch carpet, but not available to megavanparts!! :(

They don't just sell the carpet but that's who did the job for me! Sure there are just the standard 2 colours of grey..

Understand perfectly :)

I used Anthracite carpet from MegaVanMats: http://www.megavanmats.com/liningcarpet.htm

I then used Mark from MegaVanMats to do most of the lining :D

Will be raising it up a touch before the snow comes to avoid any comedy-snow-plough moments!

Eibach Pro 45mm front springs and rear flip kit on 1st hole..
Image

18inch s line sportline rims with 225/40r18 tyres, came with 215/35's but looked wrong on van.
Covered in grit!!
Image

Back on standard 15inch steels painted in matt technik grey wheel paint, not sure i like them in this colour!!
Image

Image
Just done some steels for a mates MX5 in matt white on a dark blue car and think the contract looks better!!
Might have mine banned an inch(ish) and paint them a funky colour next year.

The winter tyres saved us in the bad ice and snow coming back from london the other day, a must have!!

Had the van just over a year and added 30,000miles to its in this time and i'm not bored of it yet, to be fair thats because i'm still doing bits to it..

list so far..

45mm springs.
18inch rims.
re map by pendle performance to 148.8bhp.
new front bumper.
painted rear doors to remove 10 dents, removed rear wiper at same time!!
sportline rear spoiler.
rear bumper protector.
JVC head unit for handsfree.
Rocco front and rear seats.
Full carpeted out in rear inc roof etc.
tow bar.
Black badges.
Black 4pod headlights.
Number plate.
Flight case custom made to fit behind rear seats to put jack and all my other rubbish in.
Fitted dog bed for max my dog.
Rear pull out bed which fits behind back seat from exploria camper conversions.
Custom mounted dog guard.


It's now showing 97,000 so think the next job is to get it riding a bit better, feels a bit loose at the front and there in a bit of a knocking coming though the pedals!!!! It's only just passed it MOT so it's save just feels wrong to me..
