The only other thing I would do on your van is a light tint to the windows

Funny you should say that, its the next thing on the list. I'm also looking at van-x side curtains in blue/black that seem very reasnable price wise.

Had a bit of good fortune this week. Been working on an excavator in a breakers yard and they had a mini bus come in for breaking, asked if I could have alook and was told help your self .

Van is a mk4 97 I think and managed to get heater box cover, b-post trims,seat base plastic trims and couple of other little bits and bobs all FOC,.
Not sure if anyone is looking for them but the van has its side windows intact 2 xslide's + 2 x fixed .
