What Have You Bought Today?

Bought some spare T6.1 rear calipers & carriers to smooth off the casting marks before sending off to be painted in candy apple red.
I've been told by everyone I've asked that T6.1 & T6 rear calipers are the same.- I hope this is correct!!

Will be fitting to my 2019 T6 when done.

Removed from a brand new, unregistered, written off T6.1, that was terminally injured whilst coming off the car transporter. Severe roof damage apparently!
With less than 3 miles on the clock, they are as good as new.
Bought with the pads & discs from the same van.

I am trying to get my calipers to look as good as your bad boys!!
Changing the small front calipers for big calipers is the 1st part of the task.
The 2nd are these rears
It'll be a while 'till the secret money tin gets filled back up to complete my journey though...

Today I've bought...
A T32 SWB 204 DSG Kombi in pure grey. Only got to wait a year for delivery..........

Options i've gone for:
  • High-beam assist
  • LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights (Tailgate) with red tail lights
  • Media/Nav upgrade
  • Active lane assist
  • Rear view camera
  • Power sliding doors, left and right
  • Solid tailgate with with power latching
  • Heated driver and front passenger seats
  • Heated washers
  • Roofbars
  • Bulkhead behind 2nd row.
After delivery, plan is to add:
  • Suspension mods (cant decide whether to lower or raise)
  • Front spolier/splitter
  • Black gloss grill and badges
  • Black side bars
  • Black rims and all season tyres
  • Front half soundproof and relined (keeping the back bare as carry MTB all the time and hoping the bulkhead alone will quieten things down)
  • Speaker upgrade
  • Leather seats
  • Digital dash
Anything else I should consider?

Also a question. All the conversions I've seen seem to leave the window area around the inside of the sliding doors bare (painted) metal. This galls me a bit on what will be a 60k rig (even my transit DCIV is fully trimmed inside the side doors). Are there any options for fully trimming the inside of the side doors.

Looking forward to your comments.

cheers

Caravelle sliding door cards should hide this, I'm sure someone will confirm or correct me on this.

Ps I'm not jealous one bit you're buying a new kombi.

Heated windscreen?

I’d choose power-latching on the sliders rather than the power closing (they make a racket beeping at you as they close!) - but that’s just my preference!
