Picked up the van after having the V-Maxx Xxtreem kit fitted today. Pretty happy with the initial result.

My mechanic said they couldn't work out how to fit the RAD relocation plates, even though I gave them a copy of the instructions that are here on the forum. Im hoping they just didn't read the instructions properly and I'll be able to fit them myself.

Still got another hole to go on the back.

There are 6 speed bumps in my street and another 5 on the street I work on so I'm leaving it where it is for now. Already need to trim the mudflaps as they are rubbing.

I'm about to add a bed and storage in the back too so will do all that before I look to drop it more. Still need to put on the relocation plates too.

Color coding is on my too do list. Want to get my rear spoiler, rear door handle cover, front splitter and Touran side strips all painted at the same time. I will get the side rail cover redone then too as it's not a perfect match.

It's a 'like' from me too, bud. I do love that colour. Spent 4 hours cleaning the salt and shit off my black beauty today. Can't wait for warm dry days!

Been wanting to fit this for awhile. Not convinced it will make much difference to the sound levels.

Only time will tell.
