Congratulations on your new van. How are you finding the black paintwork? Iv had black cars but the van is another level to look after. Paul

Cheers Paul and yes, it yes it brought back a lot of memories. Just given it a quick rinse between showers. Definitely going to be an uphill battle. At least it will keep me occupied! From some angles it still doesn't look clean though.

There are also lots of swirls present that will need removing before the OCD. Stunning though. Absolutely love it.

Looks awesome

What are your front brakes like? Mine has done 13K miles and its 1 year old but it has rusty brakes? Is yours similar?

Now cooking dinner while my wife and daughter sit on their arses watching a film.I think their training needs a refresh....

No, they look ok to be honest. Like surface will normally scrub off with use but that looks more than just light doesn't it?

Yes, strange. Wondered if it’s because it’s been sat around before it got converted & surface rust built up. I’m going to lightly wire brush the calliper & then if I’m still not happy get them painted mat black

Well, the conversion is finished. Now I have to wait for restrictions to ease so can make the long journey to collect.

You must be buzzing!

 

[PeterB54]

I am
It has been a long wait with delays due to Covid.
Now I have to persuade the Boss that a trip to CRS is absolutely necessary to give a nice smooth ride.

That will be in the new year

Last picture with these wheels before fitting the new Amarok Steels 18" tomorrow...

 

[Tomawak]

Done !
Love the result...I will install the center caps in a few days

 

[Hellchops]

This is my Highline that I’ve had a little over a year. It’s running SoLow coilovers with Powerflex camber adjustable bushes at the rear, 15mm spacers at the rear, Amarok alloys (19” Milford), 245/45 Proxes, under sealed and a Revo remap.

Does anyone have a red spoiler on their black van? I have red side bars and red bumper trim, wondering how a red spoiler would look. Any pictures?

MY FIRST TRANSPORTER 2016 180 BiTDI

Newly fitted Vanstyle Front Splitter and Roof Bars

Plenty mods to come including 20" Velare Alloys and Koni Shocks to pair the sportline springs.

I have also wrapped the 3 chrome strips black and red myself with great results I think.

@Stevio What wrap did you use for your grill? In the pictures it looks like you have a close match in colour..

It was my first time wrapping, probably not the easiest of things to first try. They were even trickier getting the chrome strips off. Overall happy enough.

Please note: I wasnt happy at first with the red, it looked more pinky/red to begin with until I completed the black trims beside it. I wanted a deeper red but I guess is just the cheap wrap.

Hi, soon to be joining team black. Heading out to view and pick the van up tomorrow, 67 kombi with 204 DSG.

Does anybody ever use registration check sites they could recommend?

Will be partly self converting over the next few months and can't wait. I'm sure I will share plenty pics when i get them!

 

[PBcampervanman]

Hi, my black Campervan recently purchased with little use however roll on 2021

Team black and white!

 

[Curryzz]

Started fitting black side bars today, miss judged how tricky it is without a ramp, just got to trim up the under-trays & refit them
