Re: Secundus.....
The visors are done 
A complete pain in the arse to do & not sure I’d do them again but I’m glad they’re done. I’ve trimmed them in the brown Alcantara I’m using on the doors to hopefully pull the colours together so I’ll see what they look like once the roof & pillars are finished.

Nice!
This color combo could be interesting! brown interiors look amazing when done right

Secundus.....
When I bought the R8 seats I also got the door cards, not that I particularly wanted them but I figured I’d sell them on. Realising they were from a left hand drive car I decided they’d be promoted to contribution fodder.
Door handle leds and diffusers
A flush led puddle light under the door panel
There’s a door pocket light too but I’ve not finished the door yet so I’ll show that later.
I also took advantage of the not raining weekend to paint everything in matching silver and black rather than the 12 shades of madness I had because of taking different parts from different cars.
Some of the black trimmed door pieces will be brown by the morning too to break up the blackness.
Fun times

Its a door day afternoon This drivers door has been the biggest challenge on the van to date but it’s done and damn gorgeous
I wanted the door cards matching but it’s not as simple as throwing on an lhd door card so this is possibly the most expensive caddy door card ever.
So, I made a panel in the pocket for the mirror & cdl switch, and the passenger window. I originally trimmed it in black but the brown took it up another level
to keep the pocket useable for pocket related duties I made a cover panel over the top
a single drivers window switch completes the cleanliness
The door open warning light is a nice little simple feature and the R8 puddle light is crazy bright at night. Night photos coming soon
