Still searching for rear brake set up......have found a tt 256 vented disc setup for cheap......would these fit????

Im sure il need bigger wheels ..but im looking for these too......

Plenty to actually do rather than just keyboard bash!!!

Weather isnt conducive to pulling the van to bits just now......

Next bit of research is lowering kit............

Just in the process of tidying the back out of mine. It was an absolute mess when I pulled the floor up!

Who says the R doesn’t have fogs then, we’ll vw I accept that challenge,

So still waiting on a bracket to arrive to see if it’ll all fit using oem parts rather than making something up myself.

But it’s looking very possible to get the fogs into the R bumper,

Also used some magnets to fit the number plate to the van as I like the clean bumper and didn’t want to ruin it

Put these in today and ordered some white light DRL bulbs. Almost opted for the bixenon lights but these came in at £20 so worth a punt. Image

Well took the punt on a new hex-v2 Ross-Tech lead as the one I borrow is I think a copy ,as that was£50 off flea bay, so had my golf Gti mk6 seats for a while and never really noticed they were heated , had some looms made bye Stan the man and I must say superb quality and fit a treat made easy from a how to that comes with them , got the seat heater control from my local breakers at £20 👍 wired and activated heated seats and job done , now for door exit lights , I believe it is changing a code so that’s another new step , got all the interior out so I’m going to re wire my reverse camera , install a sub and some vibe 6x9s another new thing , fog lights , auto lights , wish me luck 😜💪

I'm actually quite impressed, they look pretty Good. Loads brighter (i can actually see the wigan potholes before i plow into them now) and it looks so much better than the standard lamps. £22 from euro car parts, no complaints here.

Hoping to have the back finished tomorrow. I’ve done the sound deadening and carpeted the ply. Going to carpet the exposed metal tomorrow and fit the insulation, then put the floor and ply in! Bleddy cains your knees haha

That’s looking good Mike. ;)

Have you had a chance to see how much difference it makes to noise?
