Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones, Baz. Keep up the good work on your van and your posts - I know I am enjoying them. Here’s hoping that 2021 allows us all to meet up at a Forum meet and I get a chance to see all your good work for real!
Have a blast

Nice one! Did you wrap your door handles?
Nice! @Texxaco did his yesterday AND his wing mirrors! Guess I will be tapping you guys up for advice when I have enough courage to give mine ago. I’m bored touching in all the hedgerow scratches!
I like the spoiler!
I just think that there is something “missing” between the front and rear. It’s like the dark sidebars and the roof rack are being asked to carry off too much in making the link between the “butch” front and rear.
However, you have a great canvas to work with down the side of the van....maybe some decal along the bottom? What do I know....I don’t have an artistic bone in my body!
What I do know is I’d think “Wow!” if I saw your van coming at me in my rear view mirror!!!

That’s exactly how my front tweeters are fitted @Baz..SVT. Looks like a bodge but it works well and they are never going to become dislodged.
My front speakers are Blam, with the rears being Hertz.
Lastly I have a Kicker Hideaway HS8 - 20cm Aktivwoofer under my drivers seat.
Sounds amazing.
Oh, that’s clever! That’s the sort of thing I was thinking of. No need to go any higher than that line - that’s linking the front and rear.
Maybe a dark background all the way across and the lettering cut out so the the van colour comes through?
Very, very clever!
A step too far for me, I think it makes it look a bit unbalanced, but then I have never been a fan of the Sportline type front ends.
Having said that, this is only from pictures, might look better in real life
Edit: I agree with @JOG, some low black between the wheels would bring it all together. Either graphics or maybe body mould type of thing?
Has anyone ever wrapped or painted their barn door hinges?

I have the sportline bumper and agree with your comments @Ali-G . Why they didn’t slope the ends of the bumper downward rather than leave the flat is a massive design floor.Same as every Sportline bumper, mine included, l think they look good from every angle except head-on because they are too wide.
Having said that I have been unable to find any other that I like so stuck with it.
My favourite is the Leighton. It tapers in at the bottom so you don’t get the big shelf like the Sportline.
