Mine is my work and fishing van but it's also my only vehicle so it needs to be more car like to drive.
I ordered 40 sheets (2x packs) and that's done the full length of the roof and front cab floors. Check the adverts on eBay though as they do 2 different size sheets. Mine were the larger ones which cost £44.99 per pack I think.

Not sure if this link will work but item number is 152364548635 that's the perfect amount for complete front and rear roof. I've got only a couple of foot left.

Thanks for that. Is it a lot quieter now ? Looking at doing this to mine as mine is noisy until it warms up just trying to make it more civilised

I've not driven it yet tbh mate as its all still stripped out. I'm pretty confident it will be though, just banging the panel with my fist I can tell it's well deadened. I mainly need the insulation because I keep paint in the back of mine and last year in the summer the heat generated inside ruined a whole waterbased mixing scheme. All the paint went lumpy so I have to address the situation before summer arrives.

Got my new lights fitted and coded correctly by @Claudiu2s. If you're not far from Hemel Hempstead and need anything fitted or coded he won't let you down and is very professional.

Just mk4 tinted direct from VW. There's a list in the useful parts numbers section for part numbers as there are 12 variants available I believe. Mine are tinted with cutouts both sides for looms I think they were about £150 in total. Massive improvement.

did this yesterday but finally got the van in the booth for a detail with my friend who runs Cambridge autogleam, 1 stage correction and then ceramic coating from g-techniq, more for protection really but came out surprisingly well..

Is this your mate who's now in Southend? Can I ask what he charges roughly for what you had done? I still need to get mine 1 or 2 stage polished and coated.

Yes it is. I think he would normally charge 300-340 looking on his site. He doesn’t list vans, just saloons and 4x4s. Your best bet would be to check his site and email him,

Lowered on coilovers today thanks to Darkside. Feels a million times better, didn't go crazy low and now my wheels look even smaller but I'm happy with it. Very happy!

Looks good. How much did you drop it by? And what size alloys? Looking for something similar as use the van for work but feel it just sits a bit high.
Will be a long list of things to get done when I get time from work.
