Team Starlight Blue

[BlueytheVWCamperVan]

Sounds like a good move with 17’s and all terrains for comfort. I bought my starlight blue camper conversion which had 20’s on it and cheap low profile tyres. Ride was terrible especially with all the potholes in the road. I went down to 18’s with the biggest premium tyre I could fit in the arch (as lowered) 255/45/18 but the ride still isn’t a lot better. Im now going to lift the suspension a bit to allow more travel in the hope that works otherwise I’ll have to get premium new suspension. I’m sure your combination will be comfortable especially with the roll bar but I’d just be careful on lowering too much as you don’t want to diminish the big wins. I know I haven’t got the same set up but just to give you an idea of black wheels with the starlight blue here’s a pic.

Looking good with black wheels. I had Koni Sport Active with H&R anti-roll bars on my California with standard wheels and CrossClimates. As we don't intend to convert the Kombi apart from sound insulation and partial carpeting van wont be as heavy as the California was. Bognor Motors do a kit now with Bilstiens so that will be by route and not too low.

Hopefully this is allowed in this thread, but I have a never fitted, Starlight blue tailgate spoiler for sale..

Sold Thread 'New T6/T6.1 Leighton vans tailgate spoiler - pre-painted Starlight blue £120'

27 May 2025

Hi,

Selling this spoiler which was painted ready to fit but I am now no longer going to fit it. As with all spoilers could either be bonded or bolted on, comes with fixings (not bond).

The finish and colour match is great and has never been fitted.

I'm based 2 minutes from junction 13 of the M5 (GL10). I think collection will be best since the price for delivery on long items seems crazy these days.

Looking for £120.

Beautiful van, and good to see another starlight blue member without a rear wiper, so I dont feel so left out

I’ve switched from Team Reflex this weekend. Absolutely love the colour in the sun! Can’t wait to start converting it.

I agree with you there Starlight blue really sparkles in the sun, Lovely looking van.

Thank you. My only slight concern is that it’s a twin slider (I’d not even considered the impact of this internally). Are there any good links or guides on here of things to consider when converting, such as running cables and fitting furniture? I have searched but didn’t know if there were any posts of people just documenting there project etc. thanks in advance.
