Popped to my local Vw dealer today to talk about my list and now awaiting on a quote.
He said ignore the configurator it's often wrong. So back the to 204 manual, also had a look at the comfort dash.
Now awaiting on a price but I know he won't be as competitive as what I've had so far from one of the fleet buying companies.
Did sound like there's quite a delay in delivery time for what I wanted

@Keaney nice spec, you should be very happy with that.Now you can start planning your customization such as lineout and soundproofing with insulation, roof rails, sidebars, blinds etc to suit your intended usage of your T.
Yeah, thinking it will probably need lowering first... maybe some alloys. Then next year a conversion so will be looking about for recommendations. Sort of know what I want from it and considering carbon interior pieces

@Keaney there a couple of Trade Members on the Forum that do conversions and many members who can give you the benefit of their experience. I know that @Thogg is very pleased with the job that @slidepods did for him and is covered by many photos on a dedicated discussion. 
You should look around the site and canvas views as a satisfied customer is always a good starting point.

Thanks! I've seen the slide pods... not sure if it's what I'd want but will definitely be looking about.@Keaney there a couple of Trade Members on the Forum that do conversions and many members who can give you the benefit of their experience.

Top spec there, never seen heated headlamps is that real?
Think I missed washers off the end of it
Hi @Keaney we have lots of customers who don't actually have or want slidepods. Quite often people come to us for SCA roof, electrics, lining, heating, speakers, soundproofing, floor, swivels and curtains, RIB bed then fit an evo kitchen themselves.
To be honest I have been thinking about releasing a traditional style camper for a while now. Personally I wouldnt want one for myself but just fancy designing one to see what I could come up with.
Really Nice Spec, I think I have got all the bits you've spaced up there on my Vel Exec, and I can honestly say, if your budget can stretch that far, go for it you will not regret if for a minute. Oh and to get real value from it, hold onto it, and avoid p/x(ing) too soon. I think 10-12 years is a minimum to hang to a van like yours
. I did loads of research on the rear axel diff lock, and went for it. Today I notice the brand new LR Discovery is boasting "now available with active locking rear diff"; if LR think its worth it, it probably is. Also given that our vans only have half the suspension travel of a LR disco, we will get even more value from it should we venture off road and it gets really rutty. Nice One
I think air is the ultimate, but I'm guessing at £4k+ so its a big decision.
If you are lowering it, truly for aesthetics, because it looks under-rubbered; you can always consider wheel spacers, and larger tyres (width and/or diameter). That improves the look no end, without compromising off-toad ability or axel travel/comfort on rough roads.
