Hello all,
I’m a first time van owner and first time modifier! I guess there is a first time for everything.
I’m 24 and I’m a contemporary painter from Milton Keynes. I purchased the van nearly 3 months ago to make it easier transporting my paintings around the country. However after following some very inspiring threads on this forum I have compiled a long list of mods that seems to be growing by the day.
As a ‘struggling’ artist money is tight so I’ll try and do as much myself to save money but there are some things I will not have the skills to do. I’m in this project for the long run so I imagine progress will be steady. As long as I can manage a mod a month I’ll be happy. I will be striving for something that’s hopefully as high quality, and as beautiful, as some of the builds on here, so the focus will really on quality and doing things right.
My initial focus will be on the interior and colour coding bodywork
The plan:
Interior:
Sound deaden and carpet line load bay
Trim the heading, dashboard, door cards to match
New seats
New stereo and upgraded sound system
Replace nasty plastic with leather/aluminium trim e.g. window switches, door handles, handbrake etc
Golf R steering wheel, gearstick
Exterior:
Colour code mirrors
Colour coded Touran side mouldings
Mk4 tail light conversion
Sirocco R front bumper build
Mk4 rear bumper conversion
Side skirts
Coil overs
18” shoes
Under the hood:
Engine cover
Stage 2 remap
Air intake upgrade
A pretty long list to be getting on with, it’s only going to get longer.....
