i think it depends on the looks of the van
no point putting it on a shed

Yes, depends on the look, if its half customised, then yes, but make sure its not on stilts, thats just looks Barry boy

The van is a swb low roof mk6 going to be lighty modded, will be this colour

Roof going to be anthracite, would do spoiler the same, saw a BMW m3 spoiler the day, quite low slung with a little over hang(bit like me belly).
Looking for rims now, prob 18's, may b some side bars done the same as roof?
Descesions doing ma head in now

That's what I like, get it out dusted off and finished, looks good, real good. 1 off my associates has a t5 transporter fully kitted up with VW kit and rear spoiler and that's what got me thinking. But thankfully I don't own a VW, so your opinions are greatfully received, going to my pals yard the moro so will start looking then.

I was going to chop up a T4 rear roof spoiler but Captain Hook gave me this one as it was taking up space, so how could I refuse... :lol:

i always go for the wheels first even a shed looks better with a nice set of rims unless its a rebuild like my mk1 then its get everything else welding body etc done first, a van loooks cool in primer and big rims
if its got tits or wheels its always gonna end in trouble !!!
anyone can restore a van but it takes a real man to chop it up !!!

Spoiler looks nice like the m3 type quite low and wide to follow the width of the vehicle... 8)
