Default mk8 RS kitted transit connect

Hi everyone, i recently purchased an absolutely stunning mk8 transit connect with full rs kit/alloys and seats already installed.

This will be used as my daily workhorse (i run my own painting & decorating business), and of course i'm going have to take extra care to keep the van looking as good & paint free as possible :shock: .

first plans are to fit a de res pipe, airtec induction kit and get it mapped so its got some more much needed poke

anyway heres a few pics

That is way to good to be used as your daily work horse!!! It would be a nightmare trying to keep it looking as nice as it does now if you have paint, rollers, brushes , tools etc in it. You will need to be so careful but good luck to you for taking it on.

dont worry mate a plan was made beforehand, everything is boxed up so no paint etc is loose and all sealed etc. fitted a neoprene floor cover to protect the carpet in the back. Its an absolute swine for catching me out on the front end catches pulling on most drives etc.
good news is the vans already mapped and goes well tbh

Well its been a great first couple of weeks owning the van, i can hand on heart say this is without doubt the best motor iv bought as its not only my daily but the corn earner to boot.
brilliant to drive and obviously quite a rare sight to see.

I have today had a set of all season tyres fitted ready for the upcoming months. Also lobbed the airtec induction kit on

got a few random pics out and about.

my son bloody loves it




airtec

chucked the de res pipe on just before xmas and had a good check under the bonnet make sure all is as it should be.




im now waiting on a silicone turbo to air filter hose in black from ceuk to arrive (id imagine back end of 1st week in jan)


All in all the van has been absolutely faultless just needs a damn good valet now but seeing as its always pissing it down i haven't had much chance
