Hi, Mine is a MID height LWB MK6 and having read the requirements i think it would be a waste of time for me to apply. DVLA clearly mention High roof, I wonder how all these VW's espescially pop tops are going to get on. They dont mention external service doors and vents but do mention motor home graphics, which are all things i could do without. They do state that the Van must clearly look like a Mobile home.
