Work van Wednesday
A thread where the thug vans can show off their skills. It may or may not take off but here goes anyway.
Hello everyone. Having just paid a deposit on a t6 se 9 seater shuttle I guess I have become a member of the VW Transporter cult! I managed to find a LWB in my favourite colour and am planning to have it delivered to Anyvan in Dorset for personalisation. So far I'm thinking roofbars, siderails, front and rear spoliers, full leather interior, and sports styling on the front and rear grills. Also thinking of getting reversing cam installed as I'm not the best at Parker. If anyone has some customisation ideas then please let me know....looking to make it look cool as a d be as functional as possible. The main purpose of the vehicle is to transport me my wife and our 6 kids (5 plus one on the way, due in March) for general use and hopefully some road trips. I live in Dundee, Scotland, but am planning on using vanhaven for the personalisation as I hear they are pretty good

I welcome advice about local dealers. Aren't Calder Campers more into camper conversions than styling? Whereas vanhaven specialises predominately in exterior and interior styling. If anyone can recommend excellent comanies in Northern England or Scotland, ideally with photos from personal experience, then that would be really helpful.
This link gives an idea of the mind of style I'm going for

Yes, they sell the most expensive front splitter in T6 customisation history... im not sure how he kept a straight face when quoting..Van haven are very good, pricey though.

Welcome to the club and the forum
Erm, well... I wasn’t blown away when looking to buy from them. The ban I wanted and loved was silly money but I was prepared to pay it as it’s a very long term investment. Long story short the van never happened and I wasted a week of my life...Van haven are very good, pricey though.

I got a quote from another company, exploria I really liked the way their quotation system worked, ie sending the spreadsheet detailing each component. They are a good bit more expensive than vanhaven and their workshop is full. Till at least mid September,
I managed to get a good deal Shiply for transporting the van... I will post before and after photos on here. Thinking of getting concave alloys

Couple of questions, what do people think of axe alloy wheels. I'm considering these for my blue t6 32
II'm liking the concave alloys in general
Also considering the kenwood
The DNX518VDABS DNX518VDABS Volkswagen Multimedia System • KENWOOD UK with a view to having reversing cam fitted
Finally, any thoughts on alacantra cab roof lining and what colour would look good with black leather seats? Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Maybe try @LeightonVans as there in Rotherham. Sounds like they will do all what your looking for
Check the Axe website and possible an email to them to check the weight rating of any alloy wheel you are putting on a T32.Upgraded to vip membership

Hi All, thought I would input as I'm becoming obsessed with all things related to the Transporter.
I bought a T5.1 Highline Kombi at auction last year which came with 20" alloys, exploria bed, night heater, lined in rear and wind out awning.
I'm useless at DIY but managed to put in a swivel to front double seats...
I've now bought a domestic fridge so looking forward to a cold somewhere in Scotland and beyond.
This forum has helped me so much,
Thanks!

Had a wee look through yer spread sheet and only thing I can coment on is the tints is I to have a long wheelbase shuttle and had all my windows done ,so both sliders ,both quarters and tailgate , now I paid 170 plus vat total, so I would say the tint price you were quoted is a bit steep if I read it correctly , ad also point out the company I used is very well know we're I live in Glasgow so not the cheepest place I could have got
Second that !! Saved me hundreds of pounds but getting the right equipment first time and there very nice people too
