Hello and some general questions about my T6

Not the best picture, but this is my 'new to me' 66 plate T6 Factory Kombi 102 T30 Highline.

I've already been to visit @BognorMotors for the STX suspension to replace the lowering springs it was on (what a huge improvement).

Its got Raceline Alloys that I will be spacing out and it also has the front passenger swivel seat.

Its a 5sp manual and chipped to 150bhp by the previous owner.

The buying experience was somewhat amusing. My wife and I decided to take a visit to a garden centre and came home with this Van. Lol. a crazy day for sure.

The spacers I am getting are the H&R AMORAK. think I will go 15mm front and 25mm rear.

In the rear is this bed structure, not sure I am going to keep it. We want sliding rock n roll seats.
I think this is also making the Van a little stiff in the rear considering it is bolted to the wheel arches.

Is there a resale value for such a thing?

The rear is also lined, looks like a very tidy install. I don't think this would have been done at the factory?

I looked being the ceiling light and it has this silver matting, does this look like insulation or sound proofing?
I'd also like to know how to remove the panel buttons? I want to take a good look behind the panels, I think I can get some thicker insulation behind them.

and what sort of socket to I need to undo this? Is it a Torx bolt? (picture is upside down, it the rear bed leg fixing to the floor )

Thanks for any help and advice. its a steep learning curve, I'm looking forward to adding a few more mods in the near future.

Any recommendations for a place in Cornwall that will convert the rear to a sliding rock n roll bed and installing a few cupboards? We don't want a full conversion, just some storage space and the rock n roll.

Cheers
Dave
 
Welcome!

Nice looking van you've bought, but I wonder whether you still bought what you actually went to the garden centre for?

I remember my mum once went to a camping shop back in Holland to buy a new kettle and came back with a new caravan :D

I've just had Bognor fit STX to mine as well last week, it's awesome!

As for your questions, the black poppers you can unscrew with a 3mm allen key and then a trim removal tool will pull out the rest of the plug. For the load point bolt you need a 10mm spline bit like this:
