hi mike
dunno im unsure myself at the minute i dont want to go spoiling it ill try it with both and then ill have a better idea
id like a roof spoiler as you can get away with them on a low roof its just finding the right one
thanks for your opinion though :wink:

front grill definatly a plus 8) side skirts should be good too 8) but i'll resersve judgement on the roof spoiler, looks a little big?? ott?? for this van, dont get me wrong i love the extreme customs - like your red van! but the batvan is more subtle custom 8)

but ofcourse its your van and your desicion :D - its great to see you working on it and improving on what dave's done :mrgreen:

hi thanks for the input
i intend on this one being subtle and leave the extreme stuff for the other van ill knock this one on the head then i think
so i just need to source a front spoiler now!!!

Front grill looks hot mate! Why don’t you get 1 of them low profile spoilers??? e.g e36 m3 style??? or even just a lip spoiler like the e46 m3 csl. I am sure someone with skills like your self can extend the spoiler to fit. That way you can still get in to most car parks and it will look the part.
Just my thought. :D
