Hi mate, have you fitted a genuine VW wood floor there?
- Where did you source?
- how scratch resistant do you reckon they Grey looking coating is?
Cheers.
Today I fitted one of my new seat covers, still baggy but after tugging them into position for what seems like ages my fingers have given up the ghost so I`m going to lay on the settee and fall asleep. Not one to give up easily but I spent all yesterday taking a cylinder head off my Honda Accord.
A little update. Wiring in and added the 12v supply from the battery to go to the split charger in the rear. Comfort centre dash in. Now need to find a black bottle cooler or just paint this one.
What a transformation!
That looks great! was there a guide or any other thread to followed to get this result ?
Unfortunately not, I watched a few YouTube videos but they were all for cars, couldn't find any for campers. I sort of took the basics from those videos and adapted them for the van. Had to be careful with the size of the controller, some on Amazon are too big which meant the pop top wouldn't close (for my van anyway). The choice was to either put everything in the pop top and just run a 12v cable to the controller or put the controller in the back cupboard and run everything to that, however that would mean drilling a inch diameter hole for the fibres that I didn't fancy doing!
Can I ask please do you have a bit more information like fly lead part or were you got it from
3d printed clip
You talk about not cutting any cables ? Got any pictures pls of further details
Did you still put the other leads under the base carpet
So are you saying you un plug the fly lead and they turn the seat ?
I am new to all of this so sorry if I am asking too much just looks neat
Finally which make of swivel did you go for did it add much in height ?
Thanks
That is the right amount of protection from swarf on the outside!
Thanks yes they look like they are doing a real tidy job well pleased

Them 16" steels n trims really are horrid on the Trendlines...looks much better now
So much better size tyre !! its exactly the same rolling diameter as the 275 40 20 so on staggered set up its perfect even on a 4 motion
That looks great. What is the makeup of your poptop bed? Is it Ply? Are you running the fibres above or below the ply? If above how have you protected the fibres?
what cabling did you buy was it the Canbus and how easy was it to fit as I am very tempted its either that or get a set of THQ replacement headlights ?
