Wanted to start my own little project thread here to document the progress with our new (to us) T6. I've posted in team Candy White etc. however wanted my own little project thread.

Its a Dec 2016, 66 plate T32 Highline 204 Kombi. Optional extras included electric folding mirrors and front heated seats. Previous owner had installed a high level rear spoiler, I believe from new by the dealer. Here follows a few pictures in the early days which include a visit to the local beach, and a camping trip to West Wales.

When looking into mods, the first thing I wanted to do was the headlights as the H4's were, at best, a load of bollards. Thought I would upgrade the rears at the same time, however during my research I was pleasantly surprised to find out the it had OEM LED rears installed...I qualify that as money saved..! :cool:

So the first modifications happened today...

  • Travelinlite Headlights, non dynamic indicator version​
  • Chrome trim for the 'middle' grill​
  • LED bulbs for the interior (Map reading light, rear cabin lights and sliding door light)​
  • Blanks for the threshold screws, because that was bugging me!!​

Next up includes roof bars, deadening and carpet, and hopefully some more comfortable suspension.

Needless to say, really enjoying the journey so far. It's been a while since I've modified my vehicles (I was an unfortunate product of the early 00's Max Power generation...) so I am trying to keep it classy, yet more practical and usable as we are planning to keep this for many years.

Will keep this updated!

Cheers

Black Omtec roof bars fitted today with the threaded bar method, hopefully no leaks!! Hoped to get a few other things done but the Welsh weather turned very Welsh so hopefully next weekend!

Made the most of a gap in the weather...and WFH, and fitted Heko wind deflectors. Such a massive difference in the way the van looks IMO, and all for around 20 quid on eBay.

I also swore I would steer clear of stickers, yet a month of ownership and I've added the below...thanks to some pressure from the Wife. Not to everybody's taste I know but its a good bit of fun.

Along with a small tribute to the great man himself, I've had this on most of my cars so had to continue the theme.

Desperate need of a wash now. Fingers crossed the weekend weather holds out for this!!
