What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Looks like he is running a speaker upgrade so they have new grilles anyway.
I spotted that but wondered if he carpeted with the in place or took them out. Even if took them out I imagine the suede would make the hole too small for the new covers.
 
Yeah the material is great, plenty of stretch to it to help manipulate it into place.

Yeah I’ve changed the speakers previously so the grilles pop in and out now, was quite fiddly tbf now the material takes up some space to squeeze them back in but just went slow trimming it

I get you now!!

if you stretch the material tight around the edges you tend to not lose too much space, the material can end up quite thin if you manipulate it enough and you are normally left with some overlap with the grilles / switches which covers up where it has been stretched.

Small upgrade - I wasn't pleased by rear wiper for a long time. Tried to find longer one than 400mm, but without luck. So I made one - bought Bosch 450H and replaced the mounting clips. It is almost ideal now (as you can see), you can notice a difference in rear mirror. Next time when I will be replacing rubber I will move it 3-4mm down to have it perfect :)

Quick and relatively simple fast charge usb c added to front passenger dash. Already have a 12v fuse board behind stereo linked back to leisure battery, so was more making a front plate than anything. No fancy catches as will just be glued in to place for time being. It might even be upside down in photo....

Was lucky enough to win a set of speaker pods courtesy of @Dav-Tec in the 3000 followers give away.

So tonight I have run the wiring from the rear of the van to the head unit, and I decided to take them in a raw finish so I could use my own carpet.

Will get them fixed in tomorrow.
