What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Spaghetti]

Got round to making a fillet piece to close off the gap down the back of this cabinet and to stop me losing my snacks down the back of it and finding them in the gas cupboard!

Used an offcut of lightweight ply from a forum member and the scrap of carpet I took off my door card when I fitted the Loc8 table. Just cost me 69p for some connector blocks from Screwfix!

It was a day for making holes today. Hopefully when I go back to the van tomorrow the windows will still be there!

Got this leather T6 seat storage / organiser from INKA today, so put that on the back of the seat as designed. That was a big 30 second job anyway

Absolutely great bit of kit. Handy for all sorts of things you never even thought about till you got it. Also very happy it was designed AND made in Britain. Very nice quality. Super thick leather. Looks a bit 'grey' coloured in fitted photo but that was just the camera flash. It's actually a nice black as per pic of it on floor (there is a grey coloured option)

Thanks to @Siperrin @Lord Mfwic and @Insert Coin for pointing this little accessory out and their feedback. I'm amazed after 2 years of ownership I hadn't spotted these. A lot of usefulness for the money for sure

Good point actually. It's so realistic to the eye and to touch, it didn't even occur to me it wasn't till you mentioned the price However, it has a thick quality feel to it and the pockets are lined nicely inside with some soft synthetic stuff so it won't scratch what you put in there

Fitted Dashboard Seal and Cab Door Seal Upgrade. Easy. The door seal works really well, more of a “thud” instead of a “clunk” when closing them.

Update from the past week or so, step by step getting there slowly, tinted the 3rd brake light and fitted pressed plates in a slimline surround, back of the van nearly done now (is it ever done )

Edit to add its not that dark its the same as the rear lights, it's just the angle

May have to put them in the ‘For Sale’ section. I’m sure lots of people would want them!

I will see, posting them would cost more than making them.
maybe bring a bunch of them along to one of the camper things.

Hi , which model headunit is yours ?

I have the 8180 and I can’t display the DAB information like yours , looks as it should be . Mine puts all the info on the right hand side and a useless space on the left for-station logo . Which it can’t display unless it’s transmitted!

What material did you use to print them?
