Finally Got Round To Fitting The New Sportline Bars

[Pauly]

You can tap into step lights if required, needs joining but saves running cables up to roof ?

Bars look good @andythom188 Have you got any pics with the lights on? I’ve had a set for almost as long as you but not sure they’ll look as good on my silver van, the novelty of the puddle lights might just convince me to fit them!

There you go m8 , are you going to fit them ?

Wasn't to bad routing the cables from interior light didn't even drop the head lining fished it threw and down A Pillar into step recess

Did you have to take off a splash guard, I've just bought some side bars from van style and the instructions are garbage

Yes had to drop the splash guards to get the fixings in pretty easy to do, I had to drive the van onto ramps to get a bit of height to undo fixings.
The vw instructions were pretty good to be fair

How very odd of the owner. Be good to see you if you can make it mate then I can look at your van with envy.

That does look good!! I was gonna put them in the for sale section and see what i could get for them, now i’ve seen this very tempted to fit them. I know if I sold them i’d want them and virtually impossible to get hold of another set, thinking that could be the bank holiday weekend job now(don’t tell my wife)

They are hard to get hold of so keep them m8 ,they got descent brackets so shouldn't go rusty like others I have had.
Won't take long to fit drop the splash guards enough to get fixings in the holes supplied.
I wired them up in the evenings after work as run out of time while on daddy duties
