Took another trip up the M11 today to the land of Valetech. I visited Paul a few weeks ago and he fitted some colour coded mirrors and contrasting arches.
Image

He also fitted the (genuine :wink: :lol:) sportvan rear spoiler
Image

So today, he fitted my ubber cool new headlights........

7500k of angel eye magic 8) :twisted:


.......along with the genuine sportvan sides.
Image
These were originally on Pauls sportvan before being damaged and replaced by insurance, changing hands a number of times before Paul repaired, colourcoded and fitted them onto my connect to complete the look.

The last job of the day was to test a new secret trim treatment
Image Image

All that s left to do now is give the van and damn good clean and mop the roof :oops:
