So how come your not fitting a different style of light, can see your masking it with the bonnet, do you prefer that or just don't want the hassle.

We have talked about changing the lamps in the past, but few things from my point of view, finding the right lamp that fits the shape of the van, is the beam pattern in the right place (not that would bother Nick), can we get the new support panel in the place of the old one and if your badboy-in the bonnet, is it worth it.

There are other plans for the body, but nothing we can do in time for Transitmania, some small sill covers, but not sure about the rear end as yet, as car bumpers just the arse end just look fat, that will have to be next year I reckon :D
