cheers mate!!

I think it makes a plain looking Van look smarter!!!!

If your interested in one, then get in contact with RPK Commercials in Stoke-on-Trent on 01782 825240 or check out there website www.van-x.co.uk!!!! They are also on eBay!!!! I know there available for both Mk6 and 7, and I also believe they do them for Mk5???
