Powder coat. Not decided on the colour yet. Perhaps anthracite grey? Something dark and not silver. I debadged the van early on as it had so much silver on it. Not a fan of the bling.Good price Dave. ....now is the plan to powder coat those or your others ?
What colour ?...
As Si suggests, an orange sparkle rather than a solid flat orange could be the way to go.I’d consider Orange. I’ve not seen it on anything to visualise it on our van.
Perhaps an orange version of this...

Or go wild.
Oh Dave! Do it, do it!
They are probably really cheap!
I’ve spent my money already on a monster leisure install and now a solar panel to feed it. I’m now saving for a diesel heater and an audio upgrade. I’ll keep the wheels at the affordable end of the scale.
I think that works on big wheels and skinny tyres on slammed vans. Not so sure on 17” wheels like the Devonports with fat tyres like the agilis crossclimates I have on the front and will go on the back when I have to change those.
I was lucky as I know the lad well …… cost me £350 but when I got quotes from other companies they were all looking around the £450 - £550 region.
I got the feeling a lot of them just weren’t interested in doing a roof box and just wanted to chase the big jobs,
Interesting to see that they've added that option, it's a notably lower cutoff than is the norm at that minute though.
Looking at the UK site the battery says -7, the manual says cut off at -7 and recover at -2, a graphic says cutting off at -7 and recover at 0 and text specification says the charging range is 0 to 45...
Hopefully that's just update confusion as it's new, will be interesting to see what you think of it once you see it in the flesh and have hands on experience.
@davecdjt when I said light anthracite with orange sparkle its what I keep thinking about for mine when they need a refurb. You can get the metalflake that they add to the powder coat in orange. So my plan is the wheels will be light anthracite but when the sun hits them they will be full of orange metallic bits.
As you say, might not work on Devonports.
My mate had his Devonports powder coated gloss black and they look pretty smart.

I'm currently also rocking 2 kids car seats (1 and 5 year olds). Very close to getting the 5 year old into a booster seat. Can't wait. Want my kids to be safe but man the car seats are a pain in the arse.
I feel your pain they do my head in. Especially trying to find somewhere to put them once camping. I tend to chuck them in the front footwells. I’ve had to try and protect my rib bed as well!
We used to lob the seats in a cheap pop up/festival tent when our kids were smaller.
