Latest update on my van

Postby dieselboy1978 » Tue Jul 29, 2014 11:54 pm

It's been a long road but van is finally getting there.
After a full day of stripping and upgrading and fitting different parts I have a van I am very happy with and believe is now a head turner.
I upgraded the brakes on front for drilled and grooved vented discs. (Been in garage for 2 years)
Changed the mirrors for US style mirrors colour matched as well.
Also I got new stereo 2 din fitted complete with new speakers and tweeters in A Pillars. Plus reverse camera on radio.
Also got my single halo dipped head lights in and also new front bumper.
Also sports van spoiler with 3 rd brake light built in to replace the one in n/s rear door.
Here are a couple of pics.
It's a bit different lol

What's the field of view like with those US wing mirrors? I know they are smaller & slightly lower down.

I see Valetech's been busy...Same Focus mk2 ST bumper Mylee had fitted to his connect :wink:

Its a stunning van now Peter and totally individual which you know I like, you need to upload shots of the rear and the interior too as you have done a lot of work in there. Its a van to be proud of and will stand out at FF this year. I think you should also do Transit Mania as well :wink:
