Hello All!
I ordered a swb kombi 4m dsg end of March and it was delivered Friday 8th June.
When I started the process, I wanted Pure Grey but VW don't offer this colour in the Highline specification, so opted for Indium Grey. Also quite fancied a petrol engine but also wanted the 4motion. Can't get petrol & 4m in the UK, so diesel it is. On the options front, started off with about £8,000 worth, so obviously had to whittle that down. In the end, opted for Discover media, LED head/tail lights, detachable towbar, double front passenger seat, double & single rear seat, heated front seats, power latching side & tailgate, folding mirrors, headlamp washer system, F&F parking sensors with camera, high beam assist and a couple of extra years on the warranty.
It came with the Transporter badge on the tailgate (not level
) 4motion badges front and rear. The T32 204 badge is in a bag waiting to be stuck on but I think I won't bother. I will probably get the height dropped by 30mm using VW springs at some point, as it does sit a little high and the ride is a bit "wallowy" (it will never be loaded with much weight). I have some 18" wheels that I might put on and fit with Michelin Latitude Cross 225/65/R18 . I'm not after the "low look" or "big wheels" look particularly as I need the ground clearance and I don't want any potential issues with the Warranty. I still have my Audi S3 which is plenty low enough for me .
I am enjoying this Forum and picking-up tips, do's & don't's etc and would like to thank everyone who has and does contribute to it. I have already fitted the extra dust door seals, as when I ordered the van, they had been dropped as a factory option for some reason.
I am financially drained at the moment but obviously going forward, I will be carpet lining / sound deadening etc. Oh and maybe an audio upgrade wouldn't go amiss
.
If anyone in Dorset has Carista or VCDS it might be nice to change a couple of things maybe................for an exchange of £
Thanks again for a great informative forum!

. Have to admit that the slightly lower & bigger wheel look is growing on me now though but still need / want to keep some height off the ground.
