Pimp My Transit

Postby perunding » Thu Mar 08, 2007 4:56 pm

Sorry Transit bros.. A bit disappointed with the customised + 1 offs section. Nt too extreme. A bit of add-ons here, a bit there.

Mine is a Transit 2000 model - very sad & very tired looking. I hv 2nd hand Kia Sedona money to spend (either I spend on a 2nd hand Kia Sedona or pimp my transit).

Saw this pix (see link below) in my pimp my transit internet search. Now! This is what I am talkin' abt. Apparently the German tuner hv gone bust. Bt u know what I mean, like those on MTV...

Anyone got any ideas?? Where to start?? Or tel me just to get a 2nd hand Kia Sedona...

it just looks like a fncy paint job that makes it look any different from some vans here to be honest.

spend your money on an a bar, paint job side bars wheels and lights and thats you got that van

:shock: customised + 1 offs is my fave section :lol: the idea is to build a transit to suit you - take all the ideas you like from other vans and create an extreme one of your own 8) you have a blank canvas :lol:

anyway i think my van is pritty extreme :? - swapped just about everything i can on it and fitting a twin turbo V6 :P ok no major bodykit/arches but wasnt what i was aiming for :D

By far the biggest factor is BUDGET, if you aint got money you're stuffed straight away....

I have what I think are good ideas on a daily basis, unfortunately I dont have the cash to put them into action, so I just do the best I can with the cashflow I have, if you want to go the whole hog from the word go you do need serious money, but IMO its best to do a bit at a time anyway, that way you dont get lost and end up with a botched attempt.
