Re: What did you do to your van today?
It may not be as bad as it looks. A decent body shop should be able to pull out the sill but a new or a decent second hand sliding door will be required although the existing sliding door may not be beyond repair by a decent dent removal person. Yes we know that they wont get it totally back to normal but nearer enough and a little bit of surface filler, respray and it should be right. We all feel your pain mate.

Bad times! That £370 sounds like a decent quote so with the money you saved from the other one you may as well treat yourself to some new alloys at the same time

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Did a bit of fettling.... after buying three different sets of centre caps, none of which fitted, I bastardised my plain ones. Cut and sanded flat the vw ones and epoxy’d then to the plain ones.


I also primed, painted and lacquered my new rail cover.... shown here before lacquer. It’s now had theee coats, and I’ll attempt to fit it tomorrow

Yeah not bad! Bit low at the back for me and need some centralising plates but it’s the stance+ kit
