Re: What did you do to your van today?
I think it's about 50mm front and rear and they are 17 inch wheels with 45 profile tyres. I didn't want to be scraping speed bumps although my mud flaps are!

Thanks I’ve only got 16s on mine. And an 06 caddy. Bigger alloys and a drop I think.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I've gone for adjustable coilovers so I can change the height if I wanted to. This might be worth considering if you want to have that option? Mine are KW V2's.

They had to special order KW for me but they do stock ST and Bilstein kits which are also excellent (and slightly cheaper).

Re: What did you do to your van today?
After the van taking a battering up the backside, I thought I would treat it to the heated leather Yeti seats I bought 5months ago! They are a tad high, so I’m going to try the vans original H frames as it’s currently on Touran ones with the storage boxes, not sure if they are any higher though.
Eventually I will also get the centre console in that I have had for 10 months!

Re: What did you do to your van today?
When I got my van last week, the dealer asked me if I wanted him to remove the racking from the rear.
"No" says I, "I'll do that myself, it'll be laugh."
Well, umpty two hours later and after a load of cursing and not a little swearing, said racking is out.
Wasn't a lot of fun but at least it's gone.
Bulkhead tomorrow and then on to evicting the precussion section who seem to have taken up residence in the back.

Nothing too exciting, replaced the rear hinges on both doors with some good second-hand ones I picked up.
Surprised how much they were sticking I could hardly move the N/S bottom one.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
If that was me and I hadn't managed to catch them doing it and gone American History X on them, I would now be looking at foldable mirrors and end up spending a fortune on new modules. At least they didn't damage paint/break in.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Removed the bulkhead and am happy with the extra space to recline the seats. Don't like the ugly gap left at the door pillar though. Thinking that I'll cut the outside edge of the bulkhead and refit it and the cover with carpet. Anyone got any better ideas?

Re: What did you do to your van today?
You should be able to get trims to replace your existing which will sort that out properly.
