Re: What did you do to your van today?

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Yeh I’ve had a few people ask to build now but I’m not overly keen tbh! Spend way too many hours on them and I wouldn’t want the pressure to build them for someone as it can quite easily go wrong. I just sell my old stuff on for what it costs me to make.the swan fiend wrote:@mikenorman fair dos mate. You could probably start selling them....there’s still a market for the original mk3![]()

@mikenorman, I think I’d be the same to be honest. Once the stress and pressure kick in, it’s not fun anymore.

@mikenorman. Love the look of them lights. Always something different.
If you do decide to sell I wouldn't mind a pair.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Yeah, done a "Joey's mod" once on a Golf 4. It's not particularly fun, and the chances of messing up a light are quite high (I messed up one and had to replace it). It's a good look though. Anyone who does want to do this can just read up online about "Joey's mod" and do it themselves. It's not that hard, just need to be very careful and accept the possibility that you may need to replace a light (the problem is getting paint onto the beam reflector).mikenorman wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 8:13 pm Yeh I’ve had a few people ask to build now but I’m not overly keen tbh!
