Nothing a quick swap out of a bonnet, headlamps, indicators, grill and bumper won't cure :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

While you're over there you may as well take an order for those wheels :o There's loads of interest 8)

Suppose anything is possible but you will be down grading the carrying weight capacity of the van to about a ton :shock: :( :( :(
Is this a wise move :?:

There is some quality hubcaps you can buy :D But it seems people don't want to spend much for "hubcaps" and end up with c**p :roll:

What sort of style are you looking for :?:

Is this what you have :?: :arrow:
