After selling my old t5 last month i found a company to source me a van and do a kombi conversion for me. Just gave them my budget and left them to get on with it, couple of weeks later i got the call to say i could collect it.*

Midnight blue, black powder coated side steps, 20" Riviera 170 alloys, coilover suspension, smoked rear lights, fully insulated and carpeted, reclining rear seats with Bentley stitched front seats as well. Front spoiler,rear spoiler, Drl's plus headlights with the light strips in them, full android operated double din stereo with hard wired reversing camera. Full electric pack heated mirrors etc, air con. Usb and 12v connection near rear seats.*

Very nice, hope your pleased with the results.

Reminds me my stepdad had a T4 caravelle many years ago, not in the same class as yours, but on alloys and blacked out windows it did look good and a great workhorse.

Looks cool, loving the wheels. One of my buddies has a pimped up black T5 on 20s with a full camping interior done by a company called teahupo. How do you find it rides after being lowered? He wants to drop his but does take it on campsites and I drive a slammed caddy by day on 19s and suggested against lowering as my van rides pretty appallingly and grounds out all the time.
