Welcome @T1mcf what colour and model have you chosen?

As for accessories etc there are a few good places depending on what you are after and your location. Vanstyle in Mansfield, Nottingham are good for a lot of things and they fit for free if required. CustomVanz are another good choice but they can be expensive but thy do supply quality parts and for genuine rear spoiler I believe that Banwy VW are one of the best for price.

There are also other recommendations here https://www.t6forum.com/forums/recommend-a-business.31/

I'm down in Cornwall, need to source front and rear spoilers, springs, side bars and nice set of wheels

Cornwall, my favourite part of the country and that looks like one hell of van you are going to have there and only bettered by the mods you are planning.

As for what to get really comes down to personal choice which I why I live these vans because no 2 are the same.

Front spoiler range from splitters from the likes of CustomVanz and Maxton to the genuine sportline and ABT from spoilers and for wheels again it comes down to desired look vs ride comfort.

If you have a read though some of the really interesting threads on here you should get a good idea on what works for some and not for others.

Hi Rob

Yep hopefully when it's all done it should be looking nice I'll try and get some pics up on here while I'm doing
the extras. I'm educating myself on wheel and tyre combinations at the moment via the threads on here did have my heart set on a nice set of 20"black& silver rs6 alloys but seems 19-20" ruin the ride and gearbox !?!? Anyway we shall see. Also I really like the front spoiler that Leighton vans use on there transporters seems to blend in well to me. It looks like I've got plenty of time to source bits anyway in the meantime I'll keep an eye on here for ideas!
