[GUIDE] Fitting Vanstyle Skid Plates on a T6

[Andysmee]

Not much to these, the rears are simply stuck on with 3M tape, and the fronts have less tape as they are supplied with three little self-tapping screws. The holes are pre-drilled, I just used a bradawl to help get them started through the actual bumper.

Instructions: (I have to admit I didn't read them, although I should have used the enclosed bonding wipe to help with tack, but it's not fallen off yet )

Nice one, I'm enjoying your write ups.
Was interested to see what these look like on various vans, do you have any pics of the front from further out.

I've just taken the rear one of these off in readiness for the van to be sprayed. I used a heat gun to soften the 3M tape but even so the lower tape held on frustratingly well. The job took 45 minutes which I hadn't expected (but better my time than the bodyshop's) and the plastic is surprisingly strong so didn't get damaged
