Hello from Preston

[TheMatster]

Hey everyone!
I’m literally about to purchase my first ever transporter!!!
I’ve always wanted one but was never the ‘right’ time. I’ve found a T6 for sale in Kettering and it ticks all the boxes, looks the part, electric doors and tailgate, DSG box, leather interior and so on
It’s already got additional speakers in the rear but I think I will still want to upgrade further (so any advice on this would be amazing)
Matt

Welcome, make sure you post photos of the van here when you get it!

Hi - welcome to forum. The go-to guy on the forum for all things audio is usually @Absolut5. He's a trade member based down in Salisbury, which may be a bit far to travel, but he's always willing to provide advice remotely and can obviously ship products. Not used him myself, but any forum member that has seems to rate him very highly - use the search function (top-right) for reviews/recommendations.

Hi Chris,
So I’m getting my mind turned a bit by some other vans on AutoTrader but I think I’m set on the one in Kettering. I’ve attached the image from the listing…

Cheers!!! I’ve done a search on here and quite a few have quoted @Absolut5 as the go to guy. Salisbury is a bit of a trek but nothing too extreme. I will give him a shout once I get it

Ooh - that's nice.

I'm a sucker for an ABT front-end on a T6. Less so on a T6.1!

Exactly!!!
ABT on a T6 is the bizzo
I’ve been looking for this van all year and I’ve finally got it

You got the ABT rear as well?

I don't mind the quad exhaust set-up on someone else's van, but I wouldn't have it on mine - looks just a little too aggressive for my tastes. Love the ABT roof spoiler though.

Ermmm, I think it’s got the standard rear but I’m a bit unsure if I’m being honest!

@Runwithscissors was looking. You could ask him -

All right all ...
As thread title best place for these ,pretty strong money looked @ reps but do not fancy bodyshop going nuts @ me .... will be putting a exhaust on to suit not using the dummy pipes ..
Searched around & got van style as cheapest any others please .

This might be your cheapest option -

Haha - welcome to the slippery slope.

There are so many upgrades and add-ons that will become must-haves, even though you don't even know they exist currently.
