Team Cherry Red

[Absolut5]

It is all grin and chin!
The best colour though.
How does that lump on the roof affect getting a roof put on? Anyone tried it yet?

If it has a front spoiler to the roof, then that will cover it, but many are already filling the hole and moving the aerial,

Another one for Team Cherry Red
Had this about a month now an have done a few bits already - rear quarter windows, h&r springs, roof bars, front splitter, captain seats, etc
I've stripped out the inside ready for sound proofing, insulating & carpet lining
Not decided who to go with for that....or do it myself

I did carpet lining myself, went quite well really. Didn't cost the earth that way.

 

[Superowls]

That looks spot on, would be well happy with that, am tempted to try it, but am wanting Alcantara type headlining as well as carpeting so might be a bit out of my league
Definitely doing the sound proofing and insulation though

Further evolution of my van today, I brought it just before Lockdown, with these 'kin big wheels on & the original ones in the back.
They looked great, but wasn't practical, my stupmy other half struggled to get in. So removed & sold them on, I've just had Eibach Springs put on (brought 2nd hand off here) It's now sitting 100mm lower than when I brought it.
Going to go with 18" in the Spring.

Well, never thought I'd see someone on here being "practical" about wheels!
Congrats @Martin955
And welcome to team cherry red

Cheers,
I'd had a stone stuck in the rear tyre with the 22's, it made hell of a Racket as it caught on the arch liner.
Looks aren't everything, & with the right 18's it should be spot on.
Thanks for the welcome, but I've been here for a little while now

I really like the VW red on a transporter. Aka Dog Dick Red.

Triumph did some Speed Triples in what they called "Nuclear Red," it soon got referred to as "Dog Pecker Pink"
I never considered a Red Van until I saw this one, I'm very happy with it now. Going to get some gloss black wheels next year, should set it off nicely.

I thought "Postman Pat Red" was bad enough

Some lovely Cherry redness with a bit of black. Took her out for the 1st time this weekend but had to fish from my bivvy next to it!

They did, and I had one. Fantastic bike but I never did like the colour (bike was cheap off an old neighbour)
