Well, had one of days today. Spent an hour fixing the absolutely shocking work a so called auto electrician did on Thursday. Had a feeling after I'd picked it up so took the radio out for a look. Good greif.
Then as I've waited weeks for parts/odds and sods, they turned up today and they don't fit, going to have a mare trying to return it.

So yeah, me and the van have fallen out 😭

Which lowering kit did you use? And how low did you go? I didn't realise the height would effect the radar

That’s why I buy the oem black version is full black gloss not sprayed so won’t look chipped when it gets hit.

235 is generally the widest I would go, not heard anyone running 255 before. You will have issues with the sliding door I would think.

I will give it a try tomorrow, i will let you know what happens.
Read somewhere that you can shim the sliding door a couple of millimeters.
Rims are 8 inch wide with 35 mill. backspace.
