None at all, the blinds are clipped into their pockets too tight to be able to move

Ordered a Webasto diesel heater and associated fitting kit
Nothing exciting, just got BV 750S dash cam installed by Halfords, I am not over the convicted with the power EZ OBD doing its thing with the power cut off and I have a feeling its already effecting my start stop, time will tell.
But it seems a good camera plus atm its £80 less than the Thinkware Q800, which will be my fall back.
ohh I and I fitted new doors rubbers for that nice Golf sound when closing the doors.

Some cabin embellishments....leather wheel cover from MrSteering - no VCDS required!!
The more I think of this, the more brilliant I realise it is. I'm going to shamelessly nick this idea, it'll make such a difference when coming back soaked and wanting to get backout the following dayWhy thank you sirHere’re a few more pics

What part of the bodywork are they mounted in?
Fitted ambient lighting in the door cards following the lead of @Deaky and many others. I know the rest of the dash lighting is red, but I'm not keen on red so went with orange LEDs as I like how that looks in my BMW. No pics yet as I'm not totally happy with it, the door handle LED spills some light onto the headlight switch and the upper passenger side pocket seems to have a shadow possibly from strings of the hot glue I used to secure the surround in place, but I just ran out of time. Once those are done I'll move onto fitting them into the courtesy light unit. I'm not going to fit footwell lighting as I find it too distracting.
Ah ok, I thought they might be A pillars but I've never seen any carpeted before. Nice work
Do they stop most of the shit on the side of the van? Finding I need to hose off almost daily
To be honest I would say no, they don't stop it, but they do a reasonable job of reducing it and were worth the £15.99. The fronts do protect the edge of the rear of the front arch, the sill areas and the front and underside of the side bars. The rears do also protect the leading edge and bottom/sides of the rear bumper. That was a big deal for me, the rural roads I have to travel to get out of the village are covered in all kinds of crap, including fine gravel and grit in several places that can quickly destroy those areas, as I found out on my previous vehicle.
I still get plenty of filth along the side of the van, but I think you would need full arch extensions about 3" wide to stop that!
Not all done today - but all in the last week:
4 x new tyres: the budget chinese jobbies were terrifying, especially when cold and wet!
Added drivers armrests: good product from Cali Campers bought on ebay, dead easy to fit
B14s and H&R ARB's fitted: wow what a difference...its lower so it looks better and the ride / handling superb in comparison to stock. Supplied and fitted by Ian at Eclipse Campers in Yeovil.
...and finally I fabricated a panel to fill the pop top bed access gap above my head in the cabin - makes cabin look better and I hope it'll make things quieter on the move.
*note to self: In December prioritise buying Christmas presents for family not stuff for the van!

Adjusted my B14's on the front ,dropped them another 10mm , now happy with the front / rear look.
Then popped along to have my 4 wheel tracking done ,( new tyres fitted last week and suspension adjustments made ) it was slightly out but now all adjusted correctly.
OH ! Then I went in for a well earned brew and ordered a set of uprated Anti-roll bars …………..Just couldn't help myself , and felt much better afterwards

Looks great , where did you get the led fogs ? And does it throw up an error on the dash ?
Thanks mate, bulbs were from veedub transporters, no bulb out and very easy to fit- I had the bumper off anyway but you can also access from a flap in the wheel arch
