I'm back (nearly) after selling my Reflex T6.

It was time to have a new van built, so I spoke to Oli at @BognorMotors :thumbsup:

After a few days of consideration, which in reality was about a year in my head, we came up with this T6.1 fortana red - Project Large.

Starting point was to pick a good van, and I picked out a 2020 T6.1Panel van - 2.0 TDI 199HP 4Motion, tailgate with twin slider.

Fortana red was a must from me, this colour pops and always looks good!

The van came from within the BMVS fleet, in like new condition, with the new VW warranty attached.

The van has been in build for a number of weeks, it’s very nearly ready for collection, nothing has been rushed and the attention to detail has been outstanding from Oli and his team.
He knew my expectations and certainly hasn't let me down!

We must have spent hours just picking out stitch patterns, stitch colours, leather perforation on the seats and steering wheel.

So, I've called it project large, because it's no small build; here are the additionals...

  • Kombi conversion - VW OEM parts (1+1+1)
  • Carpet, Insulation (Full)
  • Sound deadening
  • Focal front and rear speaker upgrade
  • Suede headliner includes A/B pillars
  • Interior LEDs - roof and tailgate
  • D K Schweizer Nappa GTI leather captain seats
  • D K Schweizer Nappa leather 1+1+1
  • VW OEM Gloss Black dash trims with fortana red touches.
  • VW OEM Digital dash
  • VW OEM Steering wheel - alcantara top and bottom, perforated leather sides and red stitch
  • VW OEM tailgate internal lock
  • OEM VW reversing camera
  • Ovano Switch XL
  • STX Coilovers + rear adjuster delete.
  • Hunter alignment
  • Navis twin-5 20" bronze in Goodyear
  • Aston Martin Brembo brakes (4) - colour coded in fortana red, matching rears.
  • REVO Stage 1 Software
  • Revo ProPanel Air Filter
  • TVS DSG Drivability Map
  • Black Trapezoid side bars
  • VW OEM Gloss black front grilles with fortana red GTI Tash
  • VW OEM Gloss black wing mirrors/bases
  • Thruxton front splitter - two tone fortana red/Glogg Black
  • VW OEM Rear spoiler in fortana red
  • VW OEM Rear Handle de-locked in fortana red

Looking forward to being back in a Transporter, even more so the all-round improvement over the T6 102 Manual.
Pictures to follow once its had its handover valet :notworthy:

She is a beauty. Fortana is just such an amazing colour and the combo with the tan leather and bronze wheels is spot on. Thanks for the business and enjoy.
 
Looks nice. Do you think the virtual dash is worth the expense? Been looking at it for mine but not sure what actual practical benefits it would provide?
I was also looking at tan seats but was worried they might not work with the grey plastics etc. Are you happy with the contrast? Seems to work on the pics I have to say!

I drive a Porsche Taycan as my daily so the virtual albeit not necessary was for me to bring the cabin up to date.
Tan is fine, i use this as a family wagon and my running bus, no issues, and looks spot on with headliner and pillars in suede.
 
Hi Mike, did you get the Webasto ThermoCall?
No I didn’t, waste of money as you can set a timer anyway, plus is warms up in a few minutes.

Van will likely be up for sale very soon as need to buy another car.
 
If anyone is in the market for this Epic @BognorMotors built T6.1 that is packed full of the best mods then drop me a DM.
