T6 Kombi Highline & new to Transporters!

[steveo1986]

Hi all, I'm new to the world of transporters even though I have always loved them and this seems the best place to further my knowledge on them!

I have just picked up my T6 T32 Euro 6 150bhp manual Kombi Highline in Oryx white with the Sportline kit, it also has leather seats, LED lights, additional side door on the drivers side, the front is also carpeted! I think that's all the extras, or the ones I know of that weren't standard! She had only done 2300 when I picked it up.

Anyway here is a few pictures of it after I gave it a full detail last weekend.

Another spot on white beast !

Welcome

It's that sportline bumper again , looks good in white mmmm

Looks great, I like the contrast with the black wheels.
Are the wheels the newer sportline items? I thought the black ones had a silver/polished edge but yours look all black - I like it.

Looks a very nice van

I am not 100% sure if they are the newest ones or not, the VW dealer that I purchased the van from fitted the sportline kit including the wheels. I did however notice that some of the new ones had the polished lip.

They are the new Sportline alloys. Different shape to th told ones.

Really unable to make my mind up on that sportline front bumper. From some angles it looks awesome, from others it looks like Coulthard's chin.

Your van looks good with the single blue accent though.

 

[StudleyGlass]

I have to agree with you @DaveyB , but i feel at the moment i would go for it. I will try and hold out for a while and concentrate on the getting the interior done out then, i will be skint and wont be able to afford it for a bit

 

[DaveyB]

Same with me Studley my good man. Getting the van all sorted internally in the next couple of weeks, which will leave me with nowt, so pimping up the outside is just going to have to wait.

 

[StudleyGlass]

What you going for inside @DaveyB are you doing it ?

 

[DaveyB]

I wish I was doing it myself, but just don't have time @StudleyGlass as every spare waking moment I have when not at work is spent renovating my house.
Having it lined, insulated and sound deadn'd, as well as leisure battery, hook up and inverter, and they are also going to install my ICE at the same time.

 

[StudleyGlass]

Me and you both then! i would love to do the interior myself but dont get a minute. Its a mission finding the time to drive it and keep it looking spot on. I have been to see my local company today to see what solution they can do for the interior , full line out and leather to start me thinks. Have a appointment next wednesday so i will start with them and work out if they do not impress me

 

[DaveyB]

Full leather in mine will be phase 2. A hi-lo roof will be phase 3.
Don't even have time to keep mine spotless, its minging, and I don't get to drive it. The Mrs does that and then never cleans it.

 

[StudleyGlass]

I have done 700 miles now and the only person who has been in it is me, well since i picked it up anyway with a couple of miles on
