Iv had it for half its life now, and I haven't gone too mad in it, depends who had it before me, seen a few with very close reg numbers and slam locks in same places and discovery of a tracker in the dash, makes me think it was a fleet vehicle of some sort

Side skirts have arrived from @RKDesigns. Looking forward to ditching the side bars, and getting these on

Keep us updated mate 👍
Remap on my list, and Darkside or Dubunit on my list, long way for me to go too 🤔
Ive recently had mine done at DubUnit i couldn't recommend it more, rolling road tune ups are bs to be honest, they don't counter for vehicle weight, how its driven, how your particular engine runs, how it feels etc they are purely for getting the most power at a sacrifice to the rest not to mention most have poor air circulation (65mph fans are ok for 65mph runs not if the rolling road is running the van at over 100), dub unit remaps then takes it out for drive and can tweek bits on the move. Very happy with mine. And Matt is an awesome guy.
Edit, it seems DubUnit is also more than half the cost of darkside on a remap as well :shock:

On the other side I made the trek through some horrible areas (Barnsley is an absolute dirt hole these days) and got a pre ordered lowering kit from darkside and found the old guy behind the counter rude and ignorant, I will not be giving them any more of my business.

Im sure there's for and against every business but thats my experience as of 2 weeks ago or so.

@Benny88 have you driven the van since its been lowered. Im torn between going full kit on the front or just springs. How do you find it rides?
How much lower is the front and have you got alloys?
A picture maybe?

Alright mate

I personally love the ride, iv got it fitted exactly as it come as both sets dampers are adjustable it’s like a little go kart now Image
Springs do need to settle a little more then I see how the look then bud but I any go up another notch on rear shackles.

I’m also running 18 TD 1.3

Looks good. I'm hoping to pick up some alloys over the weekend. Audi a4 sline le mans I think.

After I have these want to get it lowered. Just checking out my options.

Your van does look nice on the m alloys.

Got it back after it being at the dealer for 6 weeks. Warranty replacement of the gearbox, which had to come on a ship from Germany.

Does anyone know how to change the wiring on the cig lighter? Power is permanently on and I'd like it not to be so to not drain the battery if something is left plugged in 😬
