I've got to be honest here, if there was ever a reason not to mod a van, this thread is it.
A clean van and a nice set of alloys fair enough, but people go to far

Here's some pics of Dean's old one. I miss this van-would love to have it as a run around,
but instead I've got a 100e thats becoming a pain in the ass to get mot'd! Grr!!!

I have no idea how it was done. The van belonged to our m8 Mike before it fell into our hands.
There was a switch on in the ashtray to turn it on though.
I'll have to ask him or Dean about it
