New T6 Owner

[Urban Andy]

Heya...

Im new on here and getting my t6 highline swb van next week to begin my long awaited camper conversion project!.... However I wanted a newer low milage van and to afford this I bought one from a salvage auction only 6 months old with 9000 miles on the clock...

Being a salvage it's obviously damaged and basically the front end is pretty much wrecked lol!... If I put a list of exactly what I need It would be awsome if anyone can pitch in and advise or point me towards good deals on any of these parts...
I've been coming across a lot of stuff on Led headlights... Is there somthing I should know about these or just get the standard Led lights for this model... Im thinking of going down the sporty look so any suggestions on particular bumpers or grills etc.... Finally for the conversion I have only came across a T5 manual/book can't find a T6?

Bumper
Bumper bar
Bonnet
Wing
Headlamps x2
Radiator
Condensor
Airbag

Thanks
Andy

It’s advertised as T6 but looks like a T5.1 ! Not helpful.

Thanks I'll pass this onto my bro who will be fixing the bodywork.... It says halogen lamps?... Is the led lights a better option as I see folk harping on about them quite a bit on here... Also Its barn doors I have and planning to get a tailgate but the only one I seen on eBay was £2400!... Is that the sort of price I'm.lookimg at for a tailgate?

People seem to love the led lights but I will be upgrading my bulbs in the next couple of weeks. Tailgate conversions always seen to be expensive .........

Do you think a T5 tailgate will be ok for a T6?... I think im just going to get the LED ones. theyre expensive... Your van looks great btw!... mines is also silver but down the line i may spray to a dark grey... do you have a pop top?.. thats another expensive thing lol!

T5 tailgates are different to T6 ones

There is a good chance a t5 tailgate would fit a t6 but they are different and I don’t know for sure . No elevating roof for me I have this instead ......

Ok so do you just tow that along with your transporter?... That's some peace of kit!... Looks very expensive!

I intend to tow it with the T6 but not tried it yet as the van is recently purchased .
