So here's my first post....ordered my T6 last week (Indium Grey, Swb, tailgate etc) Delivery Jan 2 and off to Shane and the team at Bespoke NI for a Feb build slot (Pop top, RIB etc, drop (50mm & 20's) though wife says 30mm & 18's (no prizes for guessing who'll win!)Roll on Feb!

Nice... seems like you've got it all planned out.

 

[David Owen]

Fantastic!! great colour... I see a little bit of negotiating there! 40mm & 19"'s

 

[PukkaT6]

Is this Indium grey?

 

[LordGozer]

Not sure but this definitely is, might be slightly darker but could be the light

Getting there.What started out as a bread and butter Startline has snowballed to a Highline equivalent with Aircon (despite many posts saying we'll freeze in the front while the kids fry in the back!)Lifelong dream so literally counting the days!

I'm angling that way but 19inch rubber seems to be as expensive as 20 inch (that's gonna be my line anyway

Looks very like it.It's a relatively new grey , I think the previous T6 grey was called 'natural' and is a bit darker.We have an A6 Black Edition in Daytona Grey so want the two to match in the drive (sad I know!!)

Hard to tell - think that might be Natural?Plan to go with a darker grey material for the pop top than your pic and gloss black for the lid, then gloss black mirrors, upper and lower grille and gloss black side bars (if the budget will stretch).

 

[Davy Mac]

Plus a gloss black boot spoiler to compliment the pop top (though just been advised this won't allow me to fit a bike rack so jury's out).

Hi @Davy Mac its my van, it's based on a highline in indium grey, it's an excellent colour looks great. The roof is an SCA 194 would have liked a darker canvas but no choice at the time of purchase, not sure if this has changed since, but we are happy with it.

We have gone for a grey wood inside with black leather seats and red stitching.

I like your ideas for gloss black, I'm sure it will look excellent. The main thing I now want to do on the outside of the van is getting it lowered, saving up for Bilstein B14's.

Great minds think alike!We have decided to go for grey driftwood as well.Would love the leather but will have to wait I'm afraid - can you send a pic?What size are your wheels?

 

[LordGozer]

Just watching the Singapore F1 race although there is a safety car at the moment hence checking emails, I'll take a few pics for you after, wheels are 18 inch wolfrace

Nice looking conversion!

 

[LordGozer]

We are very happy with the interior but just want to have it lowered a bit.

Beautiful conversion - looks top quality.Love the captain's chairs but have 3 kiddiwinks plus the wife so will be 3 upfront with double swivel base.Have you considered lowering springs to save cost?

 

[LordGozer]

@Davy Mac thanks, it is a conversion by Autohaus in Minehead. A few teathing problems but we are very pleased with it.

Have you considered getting a 3 seater in the back although you would need to have slimmer cabinets. That way you can have 2 seats in the front which enables you easily get to the back of the van, otherwise you will be constantly getting out of the van to get to the back.

I have been tempted by lowering springs but fancy the adjustable Bilstein. In no real hurry to get them so happy to save for them.

Had a look at a 3 seater rib but kills the storage space beside and with 3 kids/wife need all the storage I can get!

 

[LordGozer]

Yep understand that and there's only 3 of us.

We have come from a tent with trailer, roofbox and big estate all full to the brim so we have had to rationalise a lot.

With a RIB though don't forget there is loads of space underneath and also behind the seat. We store all the bedding on top of the back part of the seat, the bit that acts like a parcel shelf.

We have had to learn to be organised which we are often not that great at.
