What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Dugdog74]

Not to the van but for the van, finished my portable leisure battery carrier with charge point connection for my Noco charger and outlets for the fridge and mobile devices.
Happy with how if turned out.

Rosie is booked in for a nose job next week. Anyone have any experience with XPEL XPF film?

Had it done last year, not cheap but well worth the money.

Thanks @Killo

Made a bit of progress on the 230v grill inlet

Now the headlights have returned from some warranty/update work I will hopefully (weather permitting as I do not have a garage) get the grill in tomorrow.

After seeing some of the debadging pictures on here, I decided to do my van. Never done it before, glad I have now.
Next is to change the VW badges to black with orange background and remove the SV decals

OK not quite in the day and it wasn’t really me, great team at Jerba Campervans did an excellent job of the roof, windows and carpeting on top of my soundproofing,insulating and wiring. Seat fit on Monday

I tried tinting my windows on my Kombi.
I didn't do a bad job but they were not perfect.
Ended up pulling it off
Think I'll either leave it to the professionals or get black out curtains.
Curtains are cheaper I think.

Nice that you tried tho. I wouldn't.
But I have news for you... Ya need both!

Put better H4 headlight bulbs in, and added LED DRL bulbs. Just a stop gap until I put H7 headlights in I guess.

Wanted em darker than they are for the kids....they can suffer now and just pull a black out curtain instead.
Curtains will be good when I sleep in it on my lunch break over the summer.....and to hide my motor bike from onlookers.

 

[Sabre]

For kids, yeah, prob no need. I've been glad of tinted windows so no-one can see in whilst you're parked up.

RIB seat in Hooray. Didn’t even have to swear too much doing it

Got my headlights back from EMTuning, mostly fitted, just a few tweaks left to do next weekend (wife permitting!)

Fake rear windows and a spoiler added


Some 6.1 LED Rear Lights (tinted I think) to purchase and that's me done

Its been a very quick (.. but not so cheap) 10 months as a first time transporter owner

Why did I not do it earlier... On we go, interior and sounds next.

Possibly like you, I assumed the Highline came as standard with armrests, and don't recall it being an option on mine.

Same here, I’d like some as well.

Had Pedders fit their suspension upgrade package for T6 vans - heavy duty springs and shocks. The camper conversion made the rear drop slightly. The van now sits higher in the rear, is flatter cornering and generally better planted. I thought the ride might be harsh but it’s smoother than the stock set up. Certainly worth it.

Also being in Oz interested in this, does the pedders package lower or just stiffen the ride?

The Pedders’ package raises the rear to compensate for the weight of the camper conversion. The change in height at the rear is noticeable but the van currently has no extra load other than the camper conversion.

The ride is stiffened and overall the van feels more controlled and smoother on the road.

One of the benefits of the package is making access to the spare wheel far easier.

I looked at full air and airbag helpers but thought the springs and shocks upgrade would potentially be more reliable. I spoke to my local VW service manager who said the change was a good idea.

The cost, which includes supply, fit and full wheel alignment was $1318.

I am delighted with the results and would do it again.
