@Noddy996 , they most certainly are from Travelin Lite. Definitely recommend them 100%. You won’t be dissapointed. You also get a little packet of Haribos as well in the delivery box - bonus!!
What is the trick to get the backing behind the VW badge in the grill the same colour as the van? Is it sprayed or is there a clever way to do it with vinyl wrap or something? It adds a nice touch I think.
Was it a straight forward enough job? Was it a case of simply removing the wheel and covering the surround brake discs before spraying?
The backing and the badge come off the grill really easily and the backing can be simply wrapped in any colour of vinyl you choose.
Had a body shop spray them, cost of the black backing part was just over £4 from Vw. 1hrs labour with £10 of paint in total and they did 4 of them for this cost.
If I could have found a Bamboo Green wrap, I would have done, but unfortunately, I couldn’t.
I had some Haribo,s when I bought some threshold caps. .....Both very similar
@Peatey, I hope you don’t get them mixed up, as it could be a very sticky tailgate scenario, when unpacking your camping gear!!
I used E-tech brake caliper paint, I sourced mine from Amazon for £18. Didn't bother removing the calipers, and didn't turn the wheel to get round the back as I was using a standard jack. Three coats were required and it takes 30 mins to cure in between paint phases, then a further 24 hours to harden.
Essentially did the same as @Dellmassive in his YT vid
Made myself a double wireless phone charger for mine and Er indoors phones while we are travelling. Cost £10 for the two wireless chargers from Ebay which I stripped down and removed the electrickery then made a box from some plastic I had laying around using hot glue and hot glued the electrickery into the box and a cover over it. Works a treat. I will be spraying it mat black to blend it in to the dash.
I should probably add a big thanks to saxoboy for his great kits and his patience with my incompetence!
That’s one serious setup there mate.
I can see blown air heating and various pressurisation units, what exactly is the spec you have gone for?
@moomin-j do you mean the existing chrome strips on the top grill?
- looking to change mine to black and hoping the chrome trim just comes off.
thank you
It does, both the chrome trim on the upper grill and the black one on the lower grill just clip on. Use a trim tool if you have one.@moomin-j do you mean the existing chrome strips on the top grill?
