Very nice. I'm Black Pearl with Sportline wheels as well. How are your alloys fairing with corrosion? I've got corrosion in places under the lacquer.

VW swapped them once & I’ve had them refurbished twice. The lacquer is yellowing & corroding in places now, so I may get them powder coated anthracite as I don’t think they can be skimmed again.

What did it cost you to refurb? They still look great…. Until you get too close

Think they were £80 each

Have had my T6 shuttle for just over a year now, gradually making my way through conversion and upgrades to make it work for camping and MTB trips.

Currently finishing off wiring up leisure battery system inside, really looking forward to using the van as it should be.

Glad to be a part of the community, thanks for the contributions you all make. I've trawled through this forum so many times, thought id add a bit myself for once.

Purchased this Highline 2016 late summer last year. Have lowered 45mm, removed roof bars, added side bars and new rims just recently. Starting to black-out badges etc. Loving the T6 life.

Headlights next, and then on to awning etc ready for some getaways this Summer

Looking good Andy .
Why do so many people fit roof bars but not many actually use them ? look much cleaner without .

Cheers buddy!
Agreed; I debated whether to get rid or not but prefer without and definitely won’t be using them. Ah, forgot to add the front splitter addition.
Going for clean & simple but aggressive look.
The other big debate was 18s or 20s, thought I might regret going smaller, not filling the arches etc. but happy with the wheels (absolute bargain package from Vanstyle btw!)

I'm constantly considering new wheels but can never decide .
Had 7 sets on our van in 11 years .
Reckon i'm going for 19's again next ....but which ones .

That’s some serious changing of mind!

I reckon 19s the sweet spot but don’t see many about do you.

I was lucky to source some of the last available 19x9 OZ Racing Monaco HLTs in Grigio Corsa
(Satin racing grey).
Excuse the Summer brake dust.

They look similar to my old Ronals

Hour or so well spent debadging and replacing main VW badge with the Matt black.

I like easy-to-clean wheels!

Had six spoke similar OEM set on my old Elise;
