I got a little bit distracted with a smaller expense but another thing to add to the aesthetics of the van. Chrome door handle covers, a chrome cover for the piece of trim above the rear number plate and a chrome scratch plate for the rear bumper (obviously to be fitted after the colour coding has been done). Oh, almost forgot, I got some vinyl stickers for the inserts of the VW badge on the tailgate - the start of the blue and orange theme.
Not really in the market for alloys just yet but they are definitely on the list. What build would be complete without. After seeing what lay beneath the wheel trims, one thing I was keen to do was to get my steelies refurbished. The trims were taken off at a very early stage but the steelies underneath were a little bit scabby.
Boom!!! Stumbled across these on eBay that were going at a bargain price. Apparently from an ex-demo van at a VW dealership in the Midlands. Eventual owner had alloys fitted so these rims were surplus to requirements.
Tyre swap and new centre caps sourced and fitted (from the Bay). Much better looking and all for a little over £100. Happy with that!
