I was very close to buying one that looked exactly like this. I think these are the best factory wheels they offered.

It’s a shame they’re covered in curb rash now. Specialist machinist job to refurbish I think.
 
They are a great looking wheel but when I was looking at the pre builds I discounted any with upgraded alloys. Ended up selling my cascavel's and bought a set of Springfields for the winter. No laquer spider to worry about and an extra inch.

Yep you really need the spacers to make it work. 25mm rear and 15mm front are perfect. Just waiting on H&R anti roll bars to hopefully complete the handling.
 
Anyone changed the floor covering in their Caravelles? I'd love to do a teak effect Karndean with the black rubber inbetween but I'm concerned it will make the floor too high for step, threshold etc.

Does the rear carpet wear badly? This is a concern I have given that the rails will get in the way of a full mat covering. The dealer assured me the rear carpet is sturdy and should take some stick.

No, not that I've noticed. I just think an engineered wood floor looks really good. There's a few folk on here who've done it in PV/Kombis.
 
I've got over mats from Rugs for Bugs to keep my carpets pristine. The cab one is in one piece, so covers the floor between the seats too. It can move about a bit, but I bought some clips to secure it to the existing mat pegs. IMG_20200423_132251.jpgIMG_20200423_132238.jpg
There is a center mat which is shaped to fit around the floor rails and a separate 'boot' mat.

I‘m using a Caravelle step and threshold on my Karndean floor - Kombi rubber mat, 12mm ply and then the vinyl tile.

So underneath the Karndean is all that stuff @Ads_Essex ? Just checked on karndean website, it's only 2mm thick. I assumed it would be much thicker.

Yeah it’s really thin, but so hard wearing.

As I’ve got the Cali / Caravelle floor rails, I needed the floor thickness to suit.
That recipe makes the floor height just right.
