@stu_b here's a link to the actual product. I didn't take any pictures while fitting and I'm at work tonight. I'll try and get some tomorrow if I get chance. The guys at Xplore are really helpful, they have photos of the carrier on its own and fitted. I'm really happy with it, changes the look of the van completely!

Door in-steps, a-pillar lower trim and dash end trims all in place, footwell lighting secured again and the rear vent turned up today as well.
Other than the stereo/heater surround for the dash and 2 pieces of trim for the arm rest hinge that's the swap complete!

Wired in the glove box light to a switched live in the fuse box. Also swapped the bulb for an Osram led bulb. Also swapped out the plain black window switches for some nice brushed ally versions.

Finally got round to fitting the mk4 bumper I've had in the garage since last year, I got it from a bloke who tried to fit sensors but made one of the holes oversized which is why ive been putting it off. Got it out to measure and work out how I was going to rectify it, only to find although the hole was too big for the sensor it was still too small for the bracket.
So it turned out to be a simpler job than expected. Drilled out the holes for the PDC sensors, separated the PDC sensor brackets from the old bumper and cleaned them up. I had to trim a little bit off of one edge to get them to fit into the new bumper. Stuck them into place with some adhesive tape. Fitted some new smoked reflectors. Changed the mounting brackets. And bolted everything in place! Took less than 2 hours with a trip out to get some tape.

Love keeping up with your build!! So inspiring. Just wondering how easy this was to do as I would love the ratchet armrest. I think it will make the cab so much comfier. Especially for those long journeys. Keep up the good work
