Hope youre enjoying the 155 Veki, told you you'd like it.

Those wheels are absolutely hideous though, far worse than the original standards imo. If anyone is offering to swap, do it!

I'm picking my new rims up tomorrow but the whole thing has got me thinking, if Ford, or any other manufacturer are going to the effort of casting alloys.....why not make them slightly better. I could literally ask my lad to draw summat better on the naughty step.

Yeah I'm with you on the wheels, the original limited wheels look gash and these look even worse!

I think I'll stick winter tyres on mine and invest in some nicer looking wheels!!

How are you enjoying the van so far? 8)

Yes mate very impressed with van only one small thing I have ratling on one sliding door on driver side that I'm trying to figure from where is comming.And all the other thing as water ingres is same at least I think.Regarding doors still needs to be seenm

to put auto wipers on all you do is move the wiper switch to the first position

I have ordered a Custom Tourneo in magnetic, so it is going to look very similar to yours. I'm very pleased with my choice as yours looks great and you seem to be very pleased with it.
I wonder if the Tourneo will come with those wheels, not really fussed either way, can't decide which I prefer any way.
I see from other posts that you believe water into engine bay and rattle from side doors might be resolved. Hope that is the case. EDIT here you say it isn't?
Hopefully I will get a delivery date soon.

I do not think that they fix problem fully because water can access from wipers hole but what I so from pictures of other customs this two thing look different not much but different.Regarding the van is better then my car so very happy with it fuel is not great jet because onli 998mls on clock and engine needs to run in bu alreadi getting 28.8mpg in city so not to bad but not very good.
