Yes. But I was thinking about gloss black as opposed to carbon. But very nice parts anyway. Was also thinking side bars in gloss black!

Hi Jabberwocky, we are just up the road from you in Tamworth, enjoy your van when you get it

 

[MattBW]

I have a streamer from them, but I am getting it sprayed a custom colour Looks good. I could do with a rear bumper protector.

I didn't think much of the wheel arch trims in the vw accessory book, until I saw them fitted to a van at the motorhome and caravan show at the Nec. I'm now thinking of fitting them myself. I'll be interested if they start supplying.

Are the T6 arch extensions available yet? Could do with seeing a good photo. The brochure inage is terrible. I guess they are trained plastic. But a gloss or carbon set ungrained could look very well.

Also I wonder if now after I have wider rims on my van (9J with 45ET) the improvement of tyre to arch spacing will be set back by adding extra extensions to the bodywork?

Gloss black arches, side bars and splitter could look the part in my white van. Might need to do a photoshop to see the effect!

 

[Days out]

Meant to say grained plastic. Sorry fat fingers again!

Yes the arch extension are available and priced at £155 and £158.80 according to the price list, I take it the prices are for front and rear. These prices are in the accessories price list.

What size wheels did you go for and have you lowered?

I've gone for white as well, so you can see why I'm going for black accessories.

I'm having mine lowered, black side bars, carbon splitter, carbon rear bumper protector and looking at 20" black alloys

To answer your questions.

My wheels are 20"9J 45ET. GMP Italia mk1 gloss black with diamond turned edges. I used the original bolts and bought black chrome but covers for £12.00 off eBay. And black 65mm VW centres again off eBay.

Tyres are Pirelli P zero Nero 275/R20/35. This was to keep the rolling radius almost identical to original rims.

Lowered 30mm VW lowering kit from dealer.

Can I ask if the arch extensions are smooth or trained?

I think the black bars and splittervwill look very good but I have second thoughts on the black bumper protector as it will interrupt the clean lines at the back of the van. Have you seen that van style sell an infill part that can be colour Keyes to the body. See image.

I'm undecided on wheel design yet, but I know they will 20" in Matt black.

If the van at the Nec are the vw ones then they are grained.

That tailgate infill looks nice but I'm just going to keep to the bumper protector
