They look great!

These are top of my list at the moment VW Transporter T6 - Rear Lights - Sequential Indicator - LED - RHD - Barn Doors - Black Smoke

 

[Jcl68]

Yeah totally fair.

I'm acapulco blue and I have, black wheels, sidebars, badges etc I just don't know if black smoked would be too much.

You could go proper boy racer and stretch a black tight over one of your lights to see how it looks lol. Best remove the suspender first though or you'll scratch your paint

Detachable Westfallia towbar fitted today by Chester Tow bars. No pics as it was dark when I got home. This is to go with the caravan we bought last week.

Just back from Penzance where the incredible team at Kernow Transporters fitted a third rail to my T6.1 Cali in only a few hours. Also Denise at Jackyards made a matching seat cover for the 5th seat I sourced on eBay. There is a bolt in the passenger side rail behind the bench seat that I removed so it can slide further back and give more legroom when the 5th seat is in.

Makes a huge difference to the versatility of the Cali and if there is five of us we don't need to cram into our T-Cross.

Thought that was ‘interesting pop top texture’ and then realised it was your house roof….goes off to pour away the alcohol …

Had a go at making my own blinds. Cost me a total of £58 for the 2 blinds from Ikea. Had all the other stuff in my workshop.

Very nice, great colour too! What's the height like inside the crafter, that's the medium height one isn't it?


If I ever get to the stage where my van is a second vehicle then I think something that sort of size will be in my future. Something with full stand up height and comfortable living for long trips.

Hi paul
Height is approx 195cm so I have plenty of room at 5ft 7ish

Tidy up the damaged that some c u next Tuesday did to my bus. Apparently he got out to look at his handy work then buggered off! bloody dishonest people. We got his reg off people who watched it happen, but think I'll just have to sort it myself as I don't want to get shafted by the insurance

 

[JumpShip]

Report to the police? ' leaving the scene' . 6 points and a fine .

 

[B.different]

Do the insurance get to know about it though?

 

[Sasquatch]

Not from the dibble they won't.

Had a crack at adding more sound deadening today. I've done the upper panels in the barn doors, they at least shut with more of a clunk then a clang now. I've doubled up the foam in the scuttle and had a crack at the driver side arch. Foam on the back of the liner and some butyl matting on the exposed metal work. Will attack the passenger arch later in the week.

The scuttle has definitely had an effect, it's noticeable when cruising along as opposed to accelerating/done town driving. Hoping double foam adds to the effect and hoping a bit of tyre/ road noise reduction is noticeable.

Off up to Scotland tomoz so will report back.

THQ smoked led rear lights added today. 10 minute job which has almost completed the back end. Just need back window tinting. Much smarter than the halogen ones. Plug & play with no warnings on the dash. Another THQ product I'm well impressed with.

My guess is the cops will say 'tell your insurance company and let them sort it'.
GMP front desks won't (or wouldn't) even take a report from you if you went in and tried to report that you'd driven off from a bump to comply with the 24hrs / soon as practicable. Myabe things have changed.

I'm sure you're right - I'm just quoting the theory without any regard for the realpolitik.

Strictly speaking you have to report it to a constable as soon as is practicable, or in any case within 24 hours, or simply within 24hrs dependent on the nature of the incident.

That said most station front desks won't have seen a police officer since the 80. I got my own station in 2007, a big one too, and that came equipped with two - very good, it has to be said - civilian lasses on the front counter, so reporting it to a constable is tricky.

I've been out some years now but expect most take a fairly relaxed view so long as it is actually reported and would want you to report it online these days. Which is fine if you're not in your 80s like my old Dad, who would rather have the clap than the internet.

The police will not tell your insurers you've been in a prang. There is no legitimate policing purpose in doing so, so to share such information would be unlawful under DPA, our domestic interpretation of GDPR into UK law.
