Not yet - they’re a sneak buy so I’ll fit them tomorrow

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

What @JOG said if you’re camping. And what @ma77y said for interior trim - see sliding door trim

Hang on a mo.
partner swapping. This is the wrong site for all that kinda thing.
more so no one would take mine.
I think the most fun would be keys in a bowl and see what van your taking home lol.

“Keys in a bowl and see which van you’re taking home” - that absolutely cracked me up! Hats off to you - best line ever!

My van is certainly a harder ride.

VW TRANSPORTER T6 DYNAMIC LED SMOKED SIDE REPEATERS INDICATOR LIGHTS X2 BLACK | eBay
Hopefully this link works. The seller is vantastic.upgrades on ebay

They are surprisingly well made and are plug and play using the original VW plug. You remove the old ones by carefully putting a trim tool under the pointy end and levering towards you. VW use a sticky fixer to hold the square end on which comes away easily, the new ones have a fresh sticky fixer

Dometic cfx3 55 for a very nice price well i actually bought 7 ,1 for myself and 6 for resale sold 2 tonight ha

Dometic pro 5 pole windbreaker, winter bargain, thats enough spending for the weekend ha

 

[Skyliner33]

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.

Thanks, it’s the A pillar trim I am thinking of. Should fit. But maybe no handles.

 

[moomin-j]

Not bought, but definitely on the "I want" list.

Rear LEDs with dynamic indicators... how many days till Santa comes a knockin'?
