Sounds like Essex Vans, but is in Dorset
Do you know what the noise reduction is on this level of sound deadening? Checked with a noise meter?
No. But it works. And well.
This T6.1 ABT 199DSG Kombi has just landed and is for sale. Having covered a little over 3700 miles it really is like new. We completed all of the work bar the leather and the exterior ABT kit, which was carried out by Richter.

M8 please STOP posting pics of this van !!
My Macan Gts is stranded in Devon and needs the engine removing/repairing for the 2nd time in 5 months.
Lost the love for it and it has to go

Beautiful work Oli! Looks like I’ll have to bring my Sportline down to you when I get it for soundproofing, speaker upgrades and carpeting. X
Always irks me that a 50k vehicle still has bare metal showing on the sliding doors around the windows - even our transit has this area clad. This isn't a slight on BMVS as every converter seems to skip this unless the conversion is based on a caravelle etc.
I see you've done the none sliding side. Am I missing something - is there some specific reason why nobody seems to have a solution for tarting up the window surround area on a sliding door.
The problem is where to stop the carpet lining without it looking a mess as you cant go to the edge of the metal as it then goes outside the rubber seals and water soaks in.
I can understand that but was thinking more along the lines of a carpeted internal surround rather than spending a grand on a set of caravelle door cards. But you got me searching a bit more and it seems that van shades do something along the lines of what I'm looking for.
As above, due to the door seals the metal can't be carpeted. In the many years we have been doing these, which have seen other companies attempts on this, and they all look worse than the bare metal. As you have rightly said the only way past this is Caravelle door cards - Personally I think they look out of place in a kombi - But we are all different.
You could flok them if you have the time, I don't think other methods are cost-effective for the time involved. There is a thread in the forum somewhere showing a kit in use.
Thanks for your opinion Oli - all valid points.
As I'm going to be putting a bulkhead behind the rear seat with a complete mtb workshop behind, I want to make the front half as luxurious as possible. I'm a year away from delivery and still throwing ideas around but will give you a call in a few months or so to discuss conversion options and a quote.
Yes, the other option that I had in my last van was a ply "frame" around the window that was carpeted. It looked much better than just left. I will see if I can find a picture.
Edit, not the clearest but the best I have:
We finished this kombi last week - delivered straight from the dealer to us - loving the lowered swamper look - getting more and more popular.
