That's a massive change 😳

Got the Touran dash finished off, must say the van is a far nicer place to sit now. Even managed to get the glove box chiller to work! :lol:

😂 at least you have a little experience on what you can and can’t do and what looks right and what doesn’t now.

It’s never ending with these vans, there’s a constant list of what we all want or would like to do!

Do the grill trims just pull off or need to remove from clips with trim tool?

Checked the contents of a rather heavy box with bc racing written on it. Some very nice looking coilovers inside :D
It’s booked in on the 11th to have them fitted along with the whiteline rear anti roll bar. Going to look for some wheels now so hopefully it will all be done at once.

Best to remove the grill and push from the back - Some have to be pushed a certain way to release.

32 clips on the Gloss cover.
18 clips on the top chrome piece.
9 clips per smaller chrome piece (36).

Total 86 clippy bits to release/pry.
