Looks great how did you do it?
Quite similar to my tasks today. Fitted Climair deflectors, and had similar drama with replacing bulbs. Thought I’d blown a fuse when installing the last led in the rearmost roof light. Checked and changed the fuse, and was starting to connect VCDS when I realised the lights were now on as I’d cycled the ignition key.
I agree the resources of this forum are so useful and helpful. Thanks
Started the sound deadening and thermoliner. Using Silentcoat and Dodomat combo. Time consuming but easy work. Not sure what a I do when I reach the fabric lined front section though but would like to insulate that part of the roof too. Assume it all pops off when releasing trim clips. Any advice welcome.
A dry and reasonably warm day, so got round to fitting the 160 watt solar panel to the pop top. Just the internal cabling to run now.
Fitted a mat/carpet in the rear of the van. I wanted grey, the wife wanted yellow to match the cushions! Haha
Is that a high lidded pro? I do like that mounting solution versus the stratchets, although would have to factor in 6 locks I’m assuming for security (not that I have any at the mo using stratchets!). Looks like you have the table and also quick release awning? Toying with the idea of the awning but annoyingly they won’t see the frame mounts separate as I’d love to be able to quickly swap it side to side.
Yes mate, bought three Wolf pack pros and an additional high lid just in case I need a taller option. TBH the only time I would leave the boxes unattended on the van would be if I was doing an overnight in a hotel etc so not really bothered about security. I’ve got a load of suitcase travel padlocks that are just to stop the opportunist sticky fingers but if anyone was determined to steal my kit there’s not much to stop them anyway.
The table is great (but pricey!) and I love the quick release brackets on the awning. Means I can take it off when not in use to save a bit of juice. I was considering having brackets on the off side as well but I’ve gone for the ladder support guides and the obligatory bottle opener
I had the same suspension modifications plus uprated H&R Anti roll bars fitted and 40mm lower at the front only last month by Steve @CRS Performance in Cannock. The back was already 40mm lower due to the weight of the camper conversion and poptop so he didn't change thr rear springs. The suspension performance is so much better that the stock setup I had previously. I am drafting a longer post about my experience with @CRS Performance and all the helpful advice on the T6 Forum. I cannot speak highly enough about Steve and his team.
Had Stance+ coilovers fitted today along with new top mounts, drop links and powerflex rear spring cups.
Didn’t go slammed but by god it drives so much nicer now than it did. No longer a harsh crash ride and not wallowing around corners.
(Also fitted new front splitter after smashing my previous one).

I had the same thought. I only had a tennis ball on mine and it went AWOL!
It does look good though
