What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[X77GAP]

I think yours is a Trendline like mine. Can ACC be retrofitted if you have the radar sensor? (and a MFSW with the button)

Not sure on retrofit, mine came with ACC and MFSW, it was a courtesy van at the dealers. I didn't like the ACC or get the feeling of it last few weeks but in a decent motorway run it came into its own, just need to learn to trust it and not hover my foot over the brake

It looks great with the new heigth!

Do you bought a complet kit (spring + sock absober)? It has really gone down 60mm or more?

Hi, yes full kit shocks and springs, Steve @CRS Performance really knows his stuff reckons the kit can do 50 - 80 mm but the sweet spot is 60 -70mm

Before and after rough photos, looks more on the photos but thats my crappy tape measure holding

I found that with my wife's T-Roc, it takes some getting used to

Going mad with a can of black Buzzweld in the front of the van.... in the dark.

@Texxaco will stagger back indoors stoned later! Good luck with that conversation, matie!!!

Hey it’s easier than I thought it would be @JOG. Goes on super easy and leaves a lovely satin coat.

Yes, I’m tempted! Just looked up the Buzzweld stuff - looks good. Did you see those door handle inserts today where you can stash phone, coins etc? Might get some of those and then spray the lot so that they’re the same

 

[Texxaco]

Yeah but at £15 each, bit steep for such a small thing.
Buzzweld is ace, really is that good.

Not for a pair? Aw bollox, look like I have to write to Santa

 

[Texxaco]

Santa must get hammered by the forum each year.

in the van!?

 

[Texxaco]

Thankfully came to my senses, started on the sunglasses holder and this is how it came out.

Pardon the VW porn

 

[Andysmee]

that looks very, very good. What colour is that?

 

[Texxaco]

Satin black. So simple to do, no undercoat just degrease and spray sparingly. That’s three coats you can see there. A pillar handles next.

 

[JOG]

Very nice indeed - a dab hand with a spray can @Texxaco

Great if you can get the description to load.

I think it’s still steep for such a simple peice of plastic that probably cost 50p to make.
