Very nice! Did r tec do all that work for you? I was in there over Xmas and nearly got carried away myself!
Hi
No R-tec just supplied the wheels and tpms valves etc. I supplied the tyres for them to fit. I got the H&R springs direct and got the indie that looks after my car to fit for me. I'm not a chrome fan so I debadged the back and got the side bars painted satin black and had the other bits of chrome trim done body colour too.
Nice looking van that
I'm confused why you're on a T6 forum ?nice looking van either way.
I was originally looking at buying a 204bhp transporter, but...... This is a good forum for general van related stuff. Very difficult to find much info on the Vito specifically.
Like @MatT6 I also couldn't understand why you were in here, but cannot argue with that answer
Now, the Elephant that's just appeared in the room.... What made you buy a Merc over a VW? I looked at the Vito and road tested one when I was buying my T6, but VW just pipped it for me.
I deliberated for quite a while between a T6 and the Vito. Both had advantages and disadvantages for me.
The big and I do mean big advantage in the T6 for me is the dash, particularly the comfort dash which is what I was opting for. The Vito dash is very bland in comparison, but it is functional. There is a much bigger aftermarket following for the VW, so any little mods are far easier and more accessible. That said I do like to make things difficult for myself!!
Other than that I found the Vito was ticking more boxes for me. The main thing being I prefer rear wheel drive over front wheel drive. That’s probably due to nearly all my cars being rear wheel drive I guess. You also sit a little lower in the Vito and it feels less van like to drive. I found my mates 150bhp T6 seemed to suffer from a fair bit of torque steer and I found it more so in the 204. They were both empty though, so maybe with a bit of load that would have improved?
