They're from Travelin lite and they're £465. Absolute beauties.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I replaced my drivers door loom bellows today. Wasn’t too bad a job to do, though I wasn’t looking forward to removing the pins on the connector. I also managed to sort an annoying rattle out, and get a pic of my dashcam I fitted the other week.

How did you find cutting back the domes? Did you just take an angle grinder to it?james400 wrote:So fitted the new adjustable topmounts 2day ready for setting up next week

Re: What did you do to your van today?
It's something I need to do so I can gain access to my top mounts(I'm not the only person), but scared to death of actually doing it!

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Needed to soften the dampening on the front suspension and as I couldn't get access to the top mounts had to take off the stupid scuttle panel thing! An hour later and it was all back together

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Gutted! Really am gutted. Found the paint flaking after 2 weeks on the side strips and door handles. Had them ‘properly’ done , - gave him non textured ones as well.
Taking it back to him to sort.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
@Lamby00 mine did exactly the same and after me panicking about it and speaking to others it seems to be quite a normal thing to happen (although I never seen it before till it happens to me). I ended up going to vw buying new strips and going back to plastic... I did treat them to Gtechniq C4 before fitting to make them ultra black though

Funnily enough, as above – I have the same mishap with my handles!

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Ah ok, cheers guys. I did pay quite a lot of money for it to be done, I just wasn’t expecting paint to come off in my hands from them after 2 weeks. They just look so rushed on the tops and bottoms
