It's pretty easy to do. I used a wooden scoop and my fingers to pull them of. There will be some glue left on the tailgate (or doors), which I removed with sticker remover (brand HG)

I have a twin DTM-style double exhaust extension piece just like yours which I haven't fitted yet. The exhaust pipe normally turns down towards the floor - so did you cut the end off first? Is there any problem with the exhaust heat marking (or even melting) the plastic rear bumper? Did you fit a metal heat shield or anything like that?

Sorry for all of the questions. Great looking van !!

I love the ride and the way it looks now. Unfortunately these tyres don't have side wall protection. When I need new tyres, sidewall protection is a must! And the rear will be 275 40 20 in the future.

The only problem is when I steer the hit the inside plastic cover a little bit. So I cut it away.

First for 120 km/h the needle was on 125, now 115 km/h

Yes, I cut off the the end a bit to fit my exhaust piece. And that's all I did.

No problems with heating /melting the bumper at all.

First impression is good. Not very noisy, similar to te Michelin summer tyres.

And at the same time painted the break calipers red.

Hi Marky M

Liking the van and only just catching up with your posts. We Did a 2k ( Miles ) on the WL2's on the rear of my custom Crew cab I already had 2 Goodyear winters agilis for the front including a round trip from Northern England to the french Alps ( La Plagne ) . Van sat happily at around 80-90 MPH on the french toll roads as expected the MPG was lower than summer but not sure that was all to do with the resistance of the winter tyres .

My van is back on its summer tyres now.

Just a quick question, do you know if the LED's will fit the Mk1 vans looking at your centre display yours is updated version.

Many thanks Agriv8

Hi Marky Mark

Your van looks great! 8) Well done! I will have to show my husband these photos and all that you have changed as he has just got this van too.

I think he would love to add a spoiler in at some point. Quick question, if you don't mind, but do you have the paint code for the chrome blue? Do you also happen to know the RGB/HEX code too as I would like to change the blue in his business logo to match the chrome blue.

Many thanks!
