Fitted a Vw approved headrest hook, for shopping bags or a trip to fetch a takeaway without falling over - I hope!
Once the headrest part is fitted, you can also change the attachment to a coat hanger, iPad holder or a foldaway tray.

No problem:

Both from a company called Partshaus on Ebay
Not so much ...what have you done to your van today as what have you done with the spare captain's seat that was taking up room in the garage today.....
I put it in my bedroom and the wife kindly put a throw on it.
Comfy as a reading chair
Brilliant !
Do you a link or seller ? thanks
bought them in October from

Fitted the Vw undertray today, as the rain stopped.
Firstly up on the ramps, as for some strange reason the shape of my 50 year old middle regions won’t fit under the front bumper
Then, 6 off existing M8 holes retapped, as the threads were a little tight and using a small amount of copper slip on the new bolts will help if/when the need arises to take them off again to drop the tray for a service etc.
For the rear, Vw kindly supply an expanding plastic plug that holds the tray up whilst getting the bolts in. The front has 3 extended lugs that sit on top of the back of the bumper.
This very easy mod is well worth the 20 mins of fitting time and the expense if, like me you will be keeping the Camper for a very long time.
This protects the underbelly from all the crud and salt from winter driving that would normally get thrown up.
Hopefully the little bit of sound deadening will help also.

I almost hit the order button on that grille, myself. I don’t know whether I really like it or like the idea of it.
But the van is looking good, mate. Sounds like a busy weekend paid off well

Finally got around to making these into something usable. We put each heated pad into a sleeve which my wife made from spare fleece she had lying around. On the underside of the pad, we put a piece of cut down old camping mat which was also lying around - this insulates the heater element from the van floor. I added a connector which was also in the spares drawer.
Probably a bit over the top, but since when has that stopped us modifying our vans
. And they cost £7.50.Pete
Sadly, I did this today. Clumsy.
