I have re-plylined and carpeted the rear with some noise foam behind the panels as well, still got the seat belts to do at the sides as well.
Also fitted a MKV leather MFSW to replace the plastic steering wheel. and fitted MKV GTI pedals as well.
I have these alloys from a mk6 which i have rested in front but I am not sure on them yet

another exteremely popular but expenzive mod is the touran front bumper costing between 100-350 for a used one. I sourced the top of the bumper for £80

It has now been resprayed silver thre bottom part(black plastic is in the bin and deciding on either the same but painted reflec silver with the slats and fog inserts done gloss black or pay £314 and get the sportline version you then need to factor in painting at about £100 makes it a dear add on.

I am also looking out for PD150 Turbo as I want to upgrade the 104 version, would need to remap, airbox and piping, intercooler & new zorst but would be good for 190bhp so a new upgraded clutch would be of benefit.

Awesome Keith.  :notworthy:

Love the interior work with the seats mate.

I think a tastefully modded van can work wonders for any business, especially in your trade.

Just remember that every penny you spend on the van is going to good use. Advertising costs a fortune nowadays, so its great to be able to justify spending money on mods when they are for your business…..and you can claim back the vat too.

Now get spending on your companies future and get some 19" BBS, suspension, BBK etc,etc,etc.  :laugh:

Bad news today. Going along a country road over a hill hit black ice and lost control of the van. On the whole it didn't look that bad until I looked under the bonnet. pipe bent into the timing belt so its a non driver wing fecked as well as both headlights and bumper. Coolant and an oil on road so dont know if the sumps done as I was lucky the van went to the right and up into a banking with heavy gorse bushes... to the left was more gorse bushes and a meter drop into a field. Which would have made recovery fun. So she's off the road for a while.

 :scared: :scared: Aarghh!!

What have you done?! I just noticed this thread last night and clicked to be notified of any updates. I've never had a van, so never modified one. But there's something about modifying a car/van so it's still useable and even better if it promotes your business. Is it an insurance job do you reckon, or sortable yourself? Pics?

Hope this doesn't hold you back modifying the Caddy. It just reinforces the benefits of winter tyres. Looking forward to some (positive) updates.  :happy2:
