Fitted a colour coded bumper to my startline. It's battered and will need some TLC soon, but my wallet is very happy.

Holy sh*t, that looks shiny!
Started work on cutting my worktop for my kitchen pod, that's it cut roughly to the shape, obviously final shaping will be done with a router.
Got a nice bit left over for a chunky chopping board too!

@BoroBoy I have the same headlights and led bulbs in the Bus. Also All-In as well.
Happily passed it MOT last month with no problems.at the local VW dealer.
So I'd have to agree that you had a finicky Tester that day......
I'd agree swapping the bulbs is a bit fiddly..... But it's only once a year.
Other than that look for another garage for all in.?
Or just take the van to your local prefered MOT garage.?... Sure it's £35 extra though.

i have the V3 with the H7 and H1 OSRAM upgrades and not an issue for the MOT.
Needs a bit of a clean too
Thanks, but it's a trick of the light - it is in dire need of a wash (this coming from somebody that does it a couple of times a year
)
Just did this yesterday! Love it!
It’s on my todo list
I've got one on the way [from China] as well.
Started the sound deadening process with the dodo mat I bought from @Beng a few weeks ago. All in prep for an audio upgrade at @Absolut5 as soon as funds allow.
In summary:
I’m convinced that the outer door panel behind the speaker is where the biggest gain must be.
The door panel clips are a bunch of little sh!thouses.
The edge of the foil on the matting is sharper than I gave it credit for.

@T6Plumber Out of interest, how much Dodo Mat did you actually use on each door please? Cheers
Re fitted my Caravelle sliding door card. Auto correct just corrected that as "sodding" door card which wasn't far from what I was calling it! Easier that removing it but not something I want to repeat. Sliding window is now all dry and not leaking so I'll hopefully never have to remove it again... 
Also removed the previously (slightly dodgy fitted) Anderson plug connector so I can check the ring terminal sizes to re locate it to drivers side back board. Not sure why someone would splice together 2 different sizes cables instead of fitting the terminals properly...
I'll be refitting it properly with some correct sized cable and an inline midi fuse.
Edit: the cables were fully soldered under the heat shrink so not that bad actually. But still, no fuse on it.
