They’ve arrived!
Hit a snag on the tyre front though, my go to chap can’t source anything suitable from his supply chain, which is very limited. Not sure he fancies doing them, grumbling about TPMS, etc etc. Can anyone in the North West recommend a tyre place that can source and fit tyres to banded amaroks? Preferably a place that has done them before.
Cheers, John
Mine banded were done at Costco in Oldham, ordered tyres and fitting. Great service. Didn't have TPMS thought but I'm sure they are used to the sensors.

Whoever fits your tyres for you, just make sure you make them aware that the wheels are different widths and that you don’t want any crappy knock on weights on the front face of the wheels. :thumbsup:
 
T6's don't have TPMS within the wheels, it's done on the ABS.

Thanks @Skyliner33 will look into that

Thanks @T6ARF I will be watching closely!
 
W o W a wee bit of work going on there. Costco in Glasgow wouldn’t entertain me they said it’s not the correct tyre for your vehicle sir. I was buying 5x Michelin x climates at the time . So I went to a better place camskill tyres and got the tyre guy that fits our reach stacker tyres to do them for me. Worked out cheaper too. Will never use Costco again for tyres. Maybe the guy was having a bad day. Lesson learned.
 
Oh that’s nice this is my new beast just done over 18,000 miles now pearlescent black what a t**t to keep clean. Even has a electric sunroof. But also leaking genuine vw side windows. KxxT with a capital k. 065861CD-8BB0-46BD-8333-B93FC0B74861.jpeg

Sorry for the disgusting language but were all big boys and we all own Vw vans and stuff.
 
What a bastid of a job, did the rear wheel in situ but the pen just wouldn't work so took the front off and it was still a bastid. I've only done the near side as I'm not sure if I like the painted markings.

Merry Christmas.

anyone got banded steels in chrome on a pure grey van?

So I can see how they look before pulling the plug on another set?

Chrome against the grey looks lovely!:thumbsup:
Mine got treated to a new set of banded Amaroks in chrome just yesterday with new tyres! Pics will follow!

No idea if I prefer black, smoked chrome or chrome as yet, I drove it back in the rain yesterday and then it was dark, so not really taken in the new look!

I will have a set for sale at some point in the new year!

Merry Christmas all!!
