Panel van to........ to be decided.

They are noticeable when looking at junctions more than you would think.
They are supposed to be for a T6 but I think they are just cheap crap.
I’ve had the wheels a couple of months. Just had issues with them since the minute I put them on. Finally RayC got it sorted for me. I will put a post on here about it at some time soon.
They don’t follow the curve of the van either, just crap in every respect.
I’ve lost enthusiasm at the moment.
Lacked a bit of enthusiasm recently - well a bit longer than that if I'm honest.
Decided to try and get some back by getting on with some carpet lining.
However I'm now really struggling to find someone who will supply a 12mm ply floor at Cali/Caravelle height to go with the Cali rails I need fitting (and thats another problem, getting them fitted). Plus trying to source a bed extension to convert the Cali seat into a bed is proving to be a difficult task. I'm thinking of cutting losses and selling the seat and rails

Done a bit more lining of the inside of the van this bank holiday weekend. MVM carpet on the walls, Harrisons suedeliner on the roof panels, until I decide if to pop or not.
Now to decide curtains or blinds.

Good stuff. Great to see you getting back on it.
Just saying a massive thank you to @Pauly @mmi and @dnoermann.
Finally the indirect TPMS has been activated on my van.

That's excellent news! Also thanks to everyone who have shared their vehicle's scans - every scan matters
Time for some updated pics @Skyliner33 ?
There will be internal ones in a couple of weeks.
For now, 2 from Camper Jam will have to do.
Aren’t you going to post the one where you are face down in the grass from too much beer ha ha
Yes.Canteras look so good on a Transporter
Here is an internal shot with a couple of additions to todays coding mod.
Well after buying a rear badge from THQ on the way to Brook meadows, and the sun came out I decided to have a go at fitting it.
So trying to remove the rear badge and just the chrome VW bit popped off leaving. the backing plate in situ. Oh, that was unexpected. I know I have some textured black paint in the man cave.
An hour later this is the result:
Quite pleased with the result. Will see how it holds up. Now to try the front again, which for the life of me I can't seem to get off, despite the rear taking less than a minute.

I just installed them on my van but my experience was opposite to you - the front chrome bit came off easily.
The rear did the same as yours - the chrome bit popped off leaving the black plastic which I snapped off in bits and then had to spend 30mins with the remnants of the sticky stuff
