Repete´s New Ride.

Thanks! Love it very much myself.
Found the original VAG pedal caps with several sellers on ebay but these had a nicer price point compared to others.
Pedal caps
Does seem from above post you need to be aware of potential LHD vs RHD differences
My van is LHD.
Even the caps does fit it was actually a bit of a struggle fitting them anyway.

Hi all.
Perhaps time for a fresh post.
Not much new stuff going on with "Beastie baby". Mostly we are just driving around enjoying this nice vehicle.
Will be taking her to have mudflaps mounted at the front wheels in the coming week and to get a few insignificant things adjusted.
OK one thing hurt.... actually a lot. The first one is always the worst.
Driving to Hamburg DE for a flight south we got a small chip in the windscreen.
Was not big, not in a highly critical area, and fixed as soon as I got back from the trip. But still very painful.
Below a selection of some sunset shots I think might be worth sharing. I have previously posted one photo from same session but here are a few more.
Variation over same theme.

Peace & love to all.

Hello all.
Might be the time to take a step forward after sniffing around in this nice and very informative forum for awhile. Yesterday I went VIP member as an appreciation of all the info I already found here.
Thank you all for sharing knowledge.
After having driven a Fiat Scudo Panorama for the last 7,5 years this time around I decided to step it up a notch and get the Multivan Highline that we loved but also was out of reach back then when buying the Scudo.
Unsure if the Multivan Highline is actually the Caravclle Executive in the UK.
When signing the order (second time after a few changes from two weeks earlier
Two weeks after that the production date was updated and is now...drum roll... tomorrow. Moved up 5 weeks.
I am still not expecting it to arrive and readied here until 2 - 3 weeks.
But really nice to get it so much earlier than expected.
Originally I picked the deep black pearl for exterior color. But after having seen the MV HL with the VW Toluca rims, I already picked, in Kurkuma Yellow Metallic both me and my spouse was sold to that color. Makes some great contrast for the clack and chrome stuff on the exterior and to the black/titanium interior.
At first we went for the full nappa leather seats but in the last minute we changed it over to the standard Nappa/Alcantara seats.
Am a sucker for the leathers but was unsure about daily practical use as weel as the relatively thin nappa leather VW use doesn't age too well IMHO.
Of course no pictures yet but will come l8r when it arrives here.
Will be some long weeks.

Now I’m going to spend a little more time and read through everything you’ve done to your pride and joy lovey color by the way
Absolutely gorgeous.
Did you ever lower it or is it factory standard
Afaik this is as low as they go from factory.
As I recall it is lowered 20mm being the Highline edition having the dynamic chassis and another 20mm from adding DCC.
It would look really nice lowered further but due to having DCC doing so would be more expensive.
Drivewise DCC does its thing pretty well. Drives and steers great for a van.

@Leehoops - just a guess (based on your location, the rare colour of your van and the fact you've got a HiLo roof), but do you store your van at Jaibow's showroom by any chance?
