Been fancying one of these for the last 2 years but the price and the amount of money I was spending on my Ibiza & house I just didn't have the funds to do it. Now I'm in the position to get one I had to have one.
After weeks of looking, I came across this on eBay
50,000 miles on the clock with Full Service History and invoices for everything done on it and even had coilovers fitted
I couldn't let this go for the price it was going for.
So once I got it home the first thing I fitted was the tow bar, basically because I knew I wanted it all colour coded so if I damaged the bumper in anyway it would be fixed lol.
Then changed the metal pressed number plates as I have had grief from the police in the past and even when I get the Dubmiester ones I get a dent in the front one, so a trip to Halfords because they have the "suppliers" font/logo in white so it's hardly noticeable and looks "clean" and fitted the number plate surround from my old car.
Wasn't sure what to do with the front end, it was either the Caravelle front end or the original bumper with the lower lip (one that looks like the Audi bumper).
One the evening I ordered this I was looking on the Banded Steelie thread and changed my mind, the next day I ordered the Caravelle front end (bumper & grille), along with a rear bumper from TPS, spoiler from Banwy and then took the van to Old School Engineering (OSE) in Bleancwm. These guys have done a lot of work on my track car over the years and I'm always impressed with the work they produce!
Fitted some Silva Tec indicators to de-tango the headlights,
Before
After
Side by side
Also like to let my cars breath a bit better, so purchased a Pipercross Panel Filter
Fitted a set of wind deflectors
And then my steelies arrived, 17x9" all round.
Slap on a bit of Gtechniq C5 Armour
Also coated the centre caps (right side have been done)
New boots fitted to the van
His & hers steelies
Not sure what to do with the interior because my dog goes in the back from time to time I don't want to carpet inside as I would have dog hair all over the place so for now I have just fitted the arch covers.
Fitted a Pioneer Double Din Player & reversing camera
And black side bars
My VAG Family
