Good luck!

I'm not sure where to stop, that's one issue right now

Thank you, I'm sure there will be a few slips and additional bits added along the way

Will being seeing the Van on Thursday and delivering it some more goodies for it:

Team Heko tinted wind deflectors.
New personalised number plate with T666 beginning.
New 2D shortened plate for the new reg.
ROKK wireless hidden charger.
RIB bed, 129 Slider, ISOfix, Black

Now trying to locate a slim roof pop top, I had Hilo in my heads from day one but i don't like what i've been reading.
Also looking at options for the Evo Slimline furniture setup.

 

[Mike Dean]

Popped into see the progress on the van yesterday.
Unfortunately windows are delayed on a boat out at sea somewhere, also seat upholstery might be delayed slightly due to COVID-19 outbreak inside the DK factory.

Changed out the THQ LED DRL V3 headlights – LIMITED EDITION All Black for the V3 Black for the silver/chrome accents and white DRL pattern to compliment the Reflex paint.

Front bumper is off for Sportline front splitter, full gloss grill install and hook up.
Rear bumpers off to remove protection strip removal and TLC.

Very happy that the spoiler went black and not silver, i think it works well with the rails and potential black top to come!

Still lots to do but also lots achieved

Here are a few picture:

@Mike Dean - sorry, can you explain the difference between the two headlight options you refer to?

@Mike Dean - sorry, can you explain the difference between the two headlight options you refer to?

VW Transporter T6 - Headlights - V3 - LED DRL - RHD - Black

Our range of VW Transporter T6 headlights are groundbreaking in how well they perform while simultaneously being an incredibly impressive price!

transporterhq.co.uk

These have black surrounds with continuation chrome line and chrome cluster/holder. White/Smoked DRL lense.

VW Transporter T6 - Headlights - V3 - LED DRL - RHD - Limited Edition - All Black

These VW Transporter T6 LED headlights are the limited edition all black version and we think they look absolutely stunning!

transporterhq.co.uk

These have Black on black on black. Clear DRL lense so you can see individually LED' easier.

I originally went limited, but have gone for the black/chrome now.

Hope this helps.

hey Mike @Mike Dean, why did you change your mind on the headlights??
(was thinking about the all black version but worried it might be a bit too black?)

cheers...

It was actually an order mistake that I decided on not changing. As I’ve gone full black grills I felt the Limited might have been too much. The chrome tokens the Reflex paint and I also now prefer the smoked white lenses on the DRL.

Quality mate - I think you've also tidied up my thoughts on these too. Also on a reflex silver. Cheers.

Sure it! Trainings going well, nothing else to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Mike Dean]

Few more Goodies turned up;

VW T6 Sequential LED Side Repeaters – CLEAR
VW T6 / T5.1 Interior Cab Light with Map Light LED Upgrade



Also have the S+S front cab bed for the little person, very good quality product!

And i decided on adding the sportline gloss black lower splitter onto the front bumper too! LOW

 

[Mike Dean]

Delay still on going with DK to get the seat kit, bad time at their factory with COVID-19 which is sad, hopefully I will have the van done by the end of the month!

Printing turned out nice in the meantime though

Pop top and RIB ready this morning for my brilliant man to fit
