Startline to Highline bumper upgrade
- Thread starter Thomas Hopkins
- Start date
I just bought as per the pic and they came with everything I needed from Elliot, I did have along conversation with him a couple of times just to make sure I was getting everything I needed, there was a couple of bit missing and a mix up that did hold me up but I must admit Elliot at Travelin lite did get it to me asap with out question and no extra cost and he was available for advice as he has fitted the all the stuff himself and it was him that did the instructions.
If you are doing this your self let me know and ill give you my number just in case you get any issues as I fitted all mine myself or with one other for support tbh. Now that I've done it, it is pretty straight forward.
In the process of doing the rear out and still struggling to get the steering wheel fitted that I bought.
Cheers Willie

How much was it to change the headlights? I’m doing the exact same, starting point startline van.
I've been told by custom vans that the grill on a start line doesn’t come off, any truth in that.
I got mine from Elliot at Travelin-Lite and fit straight on, can’t remember the price but it’s on his website, any issues just call him, he is superb for advice and you might get a wee bit of a discount if you mention this forum.
Cheers
It does comes off. It just doesn’t come off separate to the bumper. So if you want to take the grill off, you take the bumper off, with it being a single (combined) unit.
Hi Willie
Are your grills standard black (not gloss black) and are those headlights from travelinglite, if so are they the ones that hav the 6000 phillips bulb in, how bright are the daytime runners in both headlights and bumper.
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for late reply, work commitments.
Grill is standard black, and yes headlights are from Travelin-Lite with the good bulbs and are really bright day and night, massive difference from stock. DRL are really bright as well.
hope this helps.

Thought Id add a wee up date to my van journey from Startline to My-Line.
Just finished my interior, which I must say is really good TBH. I used about 4 box,s 30 sheets 2mm Silent coat to do the rear and put it every where I could fit it in and what a difference it has made and feels good that I did it myself.
I was going to use Absolute for the carpet lining but due to distance and cost involved it just was not cost effective and planned to do it myself or give it a go but fortunately I managed to find a local called VAN TRANSFORM IN Kilmarnock which were absolutely fantastic in my opinion and very cost effective for the work they did.
If any body that lives in the West Coast of Scotland looking for some to Carpet line or Ply line for there van THESE are the guys in this part of the country and you don't have re-mortgage to get the job done tbh AND CAN DO all sorts for the van. Cameron and Willie are quality guys.
Couple of pics of there work, I very happy anyway.

Hi can I ask how much your spray painter took and how hard it was to fit. We have the same brand new but basic van and looking to do something similar.
Where are you based. We are Ayrshire, just in case your spray guy is near to us.
I’ve have quotes ranging from £2000-£2500 to do this upgrade... is it because I’m female!
Hi I got mine painted at Colvins in Stewarton, I’ve known him for a few years and is a really good body shop, I paid about £700 just for paint for everything in the end and I fitted it myself and tbh honest now I’ve done it, it was pretty straight forward.
I did try and shop around for other painters but others were more than double the price for the same work, some just see you with a T6 and think you must have loads of cash.
If you need any other advice or help give me a shout if you decide to do it yourselves.
Cheers
HI Willie I have the same headlights as you, when You turn on the headlights does a orange bulb light Illuminate on the dash?
I have put the headlights from traveling-lite in says plug and play so no errors come up! None of the bulbs are out.
Sounds like it is an error then. Perhaps not quite as error free as advertised.
No I have no issues or lights on but I have a 2016 Euro 5 T6,
I’m sure I read some where on this forum that if you have the Euro 6 and change the lights you might get a light on but I’m not 100% on that.
Speak to Elliot if that’s where you got your lights and he will keep you right.
Cheers
