i wanted to go for the high roof for the bigger pole but i have to drive through our carpot ( part of our house ) to park it in the back yard behind locked gates for insurance reasons. Oh yes the carport is only 1" or 25 mm higher than the van!

In that case you need a telescopic extending pole, so they can dance on the roof as well 8) :P

Almost all the custom bumpers you see on MK5s are one-off jobs as far as I'm aware.

As for the price of the wheels, well they are the only 6 stud set in Australia and the company wont make any more due to Australian Design Regulations they say too much hassle for them.. mine do pass the ADR tho.. anyway anything for a later model transit over here is so over priced. eg: side mirror $322.00, stock bonnet $876.00, front door seal rubber $ 275.00 each and so on. so now i have to try to get a pair of front door seal rubbers and a side door rubber from the UK. also the side door rubbers are discontinued here!

What size engines do they put in Aussie and Kiwi transits, are they the same 2.5 NA Engines we suffer from?
