Hi there,
Just wanted to introduce myself, names Jamie and we have got our first Transporter, a T6 called Terry (kids idea).
Currently going through the process of insulating and carpeting, going to keep as a Kombi and not a camper (for now).
Look forward to waving back at everyone that waves at me
Few random questions I have thought of over the last few months,
Thanks all

Few random questions I have thought of over the last few months,
- As ours is a 'Startline' is there any form of aftermarket steering wheel controls for volume and track skipping? Ours has nothing.
- Can a 'Highline' bumper be fitted easily, so we could have gloss black grills and badges? Everywhere seems to say all fitments apart from Startlines.
- Is there anyway of securing a MTB internally, any off the shelf kits?
Thanks all
Hi, have a good search of the Forum as there are plenty of solutions for your ideas.
Hi there, and welcome...
I'm also a keen MTB rider and had a piece of timber across the rear tie down bolts for ages that I fitted with a fork holder. Nothing fancy but cheap / quick and did the job. Though recently upgraded to one of the forty winks bike racks...

Looks perfect, just wish I had some sort of DIY skills to make thatI’ve just fabricated this, like Whitty it’s a plank of wood with 3 eBay fork mounts.
Cost me about £40 all in

It wasn't that hard, bought a 175x25 plank 1400 long, cut it down to 1320 and cut the corners so it would fit between the door opening better, then measured the distance between the load point bolts and drilled two holes in the plank and painted it black.
Then got the bikes in there with the fork mounts installed in the forks and arranged them in the best way, fixed the mounts to the wood with some nice black allen bolts into m6 pronged nuts in the bottom of the plank.
I've replaced the load point bolts with some wingbolts now too so it's easier to add and remove it
Tested the whole set up with a trip to the Forest of Dean and Bike Park Wales last weekend and it all works a treat

You could fit a Highline front bumper and then add the gloss black grilles.Hi there,

The Startline bumper is one piece so the grilles can’t be removed whereas the Highline is modular so you can fit different grilles.
Forty Winks internal bike rack
Forty Winks Internal Bike Rack Anyone any experience with these? I only use/take my bike very occasionally so it seems a cheaper and more secure way of carting the bike to the hills than the standard external bike racks. I've standard SWB two single cab seats and a rear seat/RnR bed which sits...
Oh and welcome to the forum!
Hello all,
Newbie from Cornwall. Bought a 2018 Transporter T6 SWB last week, T28.
Its a Highline spec, 150 6 speed manual on 92k
Currently standard panel van, work in progress to build a day van/family van which also fits my enduro bike for days away green laning/enduro.
Interior out already, cleaned, sound deadening done, first layer of insulation done.. hoping for a break in the weather to electrics and windows in before lining.
Cheers!
Lee
