Thank you for replying I thought about that but then decided to try and go for something a bit different like this one I found

Has anyone on here had anything from them ?

Cheers paul

Hi,

Is yours a short wheel base? I looked for my dciv which is long wheel base and they didn't cater for it but they do for the short.


I have the rear spoilers from trade van accessories, they do a full kit. I think vanstyle also offer one.

eBay has many but I have no idea as to their quality.

You could also try dedicated tuning/styling houses who do the conversion for you. I rang swell vans in Poole, very impressive conversion and really know their stuff but not cheap.

Swiss van is another good looking conversion kit.

There are a few options out there.

Enjoy your new van. :)

Hello

Yes swb automatic I have picked it up tonight it a lot different to my old mk7 sport ha ha thank you I will have a look for the ones you have said

I was thinking about going for something a bit different to the normal ford custom sport kit but not a lot of choice
Transporter land have started to sell a lot of modified transit customs with bodykits and wheels they are calling them transit gt. here is the link http://transitgt.com/vans-for-sale/ but they won't just sell the parts separately

I also would like to put some aftermarket alloys on to

Transit GT look good, thanks for posting, I'd not heard of them...

A few choices out there for alloys, mine has the Calibre odyssey's in black.... wolfrace assassin look good on a friends one, just make sure they are load rated for van use.

I wanted an auto but missed it by 6 months... never been good at patience!

They are nice what size did you and your friend go for 18 inch or 20 ?

Do they effect the ride much ?

We both have 18's. The ride is actually improved on the 18's as long as you carry a load. The cornering feels much better over the oem 16's. The ride is very bouncy unladen anyway which is probably more to do with the rear leaf springs than tyre/wheel choice.

I won't go to 20's even though I like the aesthetic as it makes driving on to site difficult or bumping up a kerb a risk to the alloy.... my van still has to be practical.....

There is a whole thread on the 20 vs 18 wheel.
