What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Highline]

There’s was a period last year when VW were shipping vans without armrests (suspect they ran out at the factory) and anyone who brought it up got them fitted FOC as a warranty claim

I hope it happens in my case. It’s pre registered. 13 miles on the clock, on the forecourt still.

what colour are those lovely looking wheels

Today's mission.
Remove and clean all the wheels, spray liberally with Auto Glym wheel protector. Paint the calipers factory silver (I'm an oem kind of guy). Copper grease the hub lips to allow easy removal of the wheels next time. Refit wheels, stand back and admire while drinking a cold one.

Oh yes and ditch the locking wheel bolts (Satan's work those things)

Magazine and map holder. Nice, easy and cheap mod!

[ei-aprilia]

New badges and T6 plate back on today, much happier, didn't like the badge less look, each to their own and all that

 

[Shredder]

Feel de-stressed and happy. Big job finally complete today, looking pristine and how I wanted.

New wheels, tyre upgrade, black chrome nitride wheel bolts, ceramic custom caliper paint and the disc/hub assembly painted in VHT paint to match

Thanks @jaseo204 for recommending BCS for the caliper work and @BognorMotors for doing everything else

Calipers … Seats …. Seats …. Calipers
