What Have You Bought Today?

Very true, that's why it is tricky! I plan to remove part of the spoiler to suit, such as here:

My modified tailgate spoiler to suit a bike carrier

I have a Caravelle Exec which I upgraded to from a sportline styled T5.1 Kombi. I love the new bus but as I have the seats I can’t have bikes inboard...therefore use the OEM 4 bike rack. I’m not a fan of the tailgate without a spoiler - it’s a little boxy in my opinion. I wanted a spoiler but...

My other problem is that my spoiler is attached, so I will have to slot it with an angle grinder, dremel and files...

I assume you'd need to remove the spoiler to make the necessary cuts to accommodate the bike rack? If so, THQ do a bike rack specific spoiler (although out of stock at the moment) which could be an easier option: THQ Bike Rack Spoiler

Video on it here: THQ Bike Rack Spoiler YouTube

Just thinking of your time and sanity - that looks like one fiddly DIY job!

Thanks for that, I will bear that in mind if I b@lls up the existing spoiler.

I am planning to cut it in situ on the van or try to remove it, cut it and then reattach it.

Another video that may help you.
I think you're going to have to remove it from the van though.

I’ve got the Jackery 1000 explorer and it’s a great piece of kit.

Just ordered a set of Tomahawk Katos with 245/65/17 BFG’s

Nothing too exciting but it keeps er'indoors happy, waiting for the mat from Fat Bob's to turn up and mattress topper.
I'll then try and sneak in the lowering kit, front splitter and sidebars (in red)
Also looking to get the calipers powder coated too.
Brothers got a PC business so hopefully he will give me a decent discount

Rear bumper + bonnet protector just arrived from RGM Automotive...

What is it going to sound like?

Hi,

Not much of a noise difference now it is fit, I will say that combined with a Revo air filter and a remap it's helped transform the van, much more driveable with a more usable power band.

External insulated blackout screen cover for our van fitted with a snorkel, it’s a great fit, from Chilly Jam vans.

VIP Forum Membership - least I can do as overdue payback for all the support and advice I’ve had in the last year from the forum. Almost got the van to where I want to - for now. Special shout out to @The Van Cave and @CRS Performance for all their help and expertise on wheels and suspension, not all of which led to paid work at the time. And to @Dellmassive - your guides are invaluable, not that I’ve still got my head round electrics!

Cheers all - keep up the good work.

Brilliant bit of kit……especially as you can use the solar panel hooked up to leisure battery aswell @JimmyMac74
