T6 - Styling Tips & Hints - Help needed!

A very good morning T6Forum - I’m in need of some wisdom please regarding styling my 2017 T6 (T32) Highline. I’ve finally (after saving some cash) got around to styling my van. It’s a long list of bits that I need. However there are a couple of areas that I could do with some advice on.

1. WING MIRRORS
About 6 months back somebody nicked the cover of a my passenger side wing mirror (presumably my colour matched their van) - however I wanted to know IF I can replace my standard wing mirrors with electric wing mirrors? Is this just a case of buying a set and plugging them in OR is this a very expensive retrofit option that is just not worth it?

2. REAR TAIL GATE
The van has been lined in gray felt - but after heavy rain - when I open the rear tail gate I find on occasion that the water drips from the bottom of the door, coming through the felt? I was thinking about changing the felt and maybe trying to add the California style folding chairs (are there aftermarket product) does anybody have any suggestions/is this an option??

3. ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
The music system that came with the van had basically died - the touch screen no longer likes to be touched and I’m effectively locked to Radio 4 & Absolute Country. Which whilst I’m find I’m sure the nippers would like a bit wider options - I was thinking of getting a Kenwood DMX - does anybody use this system??

4. STYLING
The wheels (diamond cut) are in a shocking state - so looking to get those reconditioned in black with black sports line bars etc. However I am also need to change the grill at front as it was painted gloss and started to badly flake. In changing the front grills is it possible v cost - to add aftermarket parking sensors??

Many thanks for any and all advice!
 
Hi. I’m confused about your wing mirrors.
The Highline wing mirrors should be electric mirrors, if yours are not I’m not sure why?
Someone more clued up than me Kay know though.

Many thanks! I got the van 2nd hand back in 2019/20 - so no idea that it should have come with electric - but hopefully that means I can put electric on it.
 
If it's a high line it'll have electric heated and electric positioning but may not have power fold as standard. There are options for retrofit of power fold, have a search on here, it'll depend on MY variant of van.
