Had that call from @BognorMotors a few weeks ago to tell me my new van was on its way, wasnt expecting it until next year so very surprised and very excited, got sent a pic when it arrived

Couldnt get the van in time for summer camp so i got Oli to do a few jobs for me before collection, had to have the gloss paint on the front and love the Leighton LV-S front bumper so i asked him to sort that for me

Couldnt make my mind up about wheels and suspension so had always planned to drive it stock and decide after but so tight on time and had to make a decision so got the STXA suspension fitted
Im in tricky situation with parking at home as need the van lowered to get in my garage but not slammed as theres a crest to get over to get onto my drive so needed it somewhere in the middle, he sent me some progress shots as things were happening

Couldnt help but think the van looked a bit weird lowered on the standard 16 inch claytons

I think he sensed my weakness and after i got there and was having a look around at things like this

when i looked back he had did a sneaky number and started lining things up on my van

I will be honest and say i didnt take much convincing and settled on a set of Judd T311R in bronze and heres the before and after on the finished van

What can i say, im so pleased with the van
Its the first time we have ever got to spec and order a brand new vehicle and choose the colour etc etc and absolutely love it, reminds me of buying my first T6 all those years ago and starting the forum

As always the list of mods has begun and is increasing by the hour but for now im going to stick the kids in the back and take them for a drive !
 
that looks awesome @Pauly

congratulations on your new van.

cant wait to see it at Busfest 22.


i like your style choices. . . the wheels, bumper and (darker windows) set it off very well.
 
Windows are standard kombi setup, think its just time of day makes it look a bit darker
 
@Pauly you must be well proud of new van, looks great, wheels work well in that colour, when did you order it?

Can’t remember exact date but toured busfest with my wife last year trying to decide which colour to order so think it was a bit after that so around late September may even have been start of October before the order was confirmed and placed
 
Love the wheels @Pauly... well, love everything about your van actually, but the wheels especially. What rating are they?
