BMW e46 interiour light with mood lights
Reverse camera in rear number plate light
Tow bar
Painted rear bumper corners red
ST badges front and rear

The body work still needs some work,
And the headlights were a pain but make such a difference to the appearance of the van,

Just used a plasticide primer so the paint sticks to the plastic then a matt black and thin coat of laquer, recommend having a spare set of headlights to put in the van as its not a 5 minute job,

The rear number plate light / reverse camera,

Got some team heko wind deflectors off the net for 26.95 new, bargain I must say

The led strip lights I bought and installed in the rear

Image


Led strip lights wired into the interior lighting on the van so they come on when I open the door, they also dim very gradually and it looks the balls if I do say so myself, can just make out the black dash also.


Image


BMW e46 interior light with orange courtesy lights, make such a difference with the orange glow in the cab, also the spot lights makes finding stuff easier

Was the reversing camera & screen come as a complete kit or separates, & where from, + any model numbers. Your van looks great, did you get loads of previous service paperwork with the van ?.
