and.....your views ????

Very nice. Drives like a car and seems to go quite well to say she isnt run in yet.

Had her first wash today to get her used to it. She has to be educated from the start.

Lots of comments and people pointing, not that I'm looking for someone looking though?

i was thinking of removing the stripe think it might calm down the onlookers

[sus]

i was thinking of that too geoff and colour coding the black bits, but would that devalue it?

[transitgeoff]

hmmm, i thought that as well about the devaluing bit, i was going to take templates of the stripe before i removed it so in the future i could have them re-cut in white vinyl, i have already bought 1/2 a liter of performance blue in base to do some mirror backs with, not sure about the rest of the black plastics at the moment though

nah dont remove the stripe

the biggest devaluing mod would be adding side windows

and the biggest value increasing mod would be waxoil .......... a necessity

[sus]

do you spray the waxoil under neath ? wheelarch's ect

[Luke]

do you spray the waxoil under neath ? wheelarch's ect

everywhere - in the chassis rails mainly from inside too - wheel arches etc. go mad with it - all panel joints what are hidden - it will add years to the van

i know geoff has done his - he will be better to know all the mk7 areas that need most attention

[transitgeoff]

do you spray the waxoil under neath ? wheelarch's ect

you want to do the wheel arches from inside the back of the van, remove the factory load protection stuff and get it right in there, and the front ones, from under the bonnet, a probe is needed and there is a small gap between the inner and outer dogleg panels, get the probe in there and pump lots in, also warming the arches with a hairdryer helps it get right between the joints

windows no chance, but the stripe i know it looks the nuts, BUT.. it attracts LOTS of attention from pikeys and all sorts, i think with it removed it will be more discreet, every time you park it when you return someone is looking at it

[sus]

where are you england geoff, do you fany doing mine

[transitgeoff]

Clayton already asked me to do his, nah cant find enough hours in the day mate

[sus]

worth asking, i haver never waxoiled before should i take it to a bodyshop or a macanic?
