After a week of travelling to Lemmington Spa for a week of training and now the snow and real horrible weather has gone i decided to refit alloys and give the van a real good clean. Also i got round to changing the rear bumper for a white one and the new ends caps.

Hi Mylee

Can you please let me know what mk the front bumper is on your red van as I'm buying one and what to make sure it's the right one, I don't want to order the wrong one.

I've a 2004 connect with spot lights but have the bulky blocks on the bumper if that helps

Advise appreciate :D :D

You need a 2006-2009 facelift bumper. You'll also need front arches and the plastic spoiler that fits to the bottom of the bumper, the one in two parts.
