Black stripes looking a bit Renault innit tho Fam. 
Tomato
My last 6.1 had Edition stripes, I think I will go the Transporter look, maybe with REVO or 4motion badge on my bangin’ sport stripe
I think removing the California rear badge will immediately negate any polite, courteous driving...so bring on the remap and slam this fully sick bad boy onto Bentley 22’s and let’s get the fam tailgating on the M25 in freezing fog bruv’

This looks absolutely awesome. Do you know if the colour is ascot grey or candy white? Looks like an off white.

I think I read you cant spec an Edition in Ascot Grey, so think it must be Candy White
Tomato
My old 6.1 Edition Beach was indeed Candy White but with a black roof that gently bakes sleeping occupants with even the tiniest bit of sunlight. Just saw a very new 70 plate Ocean in Cobham in what looked like Ascot Grey...looked different but good

Hi, very good point...best I leave it as a courtesy to any EU emergency services deciding who to rescue first that might want to know that the smouldering wreck of a red VW has a gas canister on board...

Yes a strange choice VW made to complicate Editions with a black roof. A white roof I could understand...
Love Ascot Grey
Tomato
Looks ok on the Disci wheels but they’re for the chop! Have ordered black plastic wheel arch kit and had the Range Rover 20’s blacked….it’s gonna be bad bruv’
Tomato
All that chrome’s going too including anything that says California - my mission to make it look like a £25k van well advanced now. Huge rear roof spoiler also being made ready.

Look forward to seeing it, but
I love those discus wheels
What will you change those side chrome California pieces near the side indicators for? Black Transporter ones?

I know the Range Rover wheels fit but is the circumstance ok for accurate gearing and Speedo readings?
Tomato
My steel wheels are 17’s….
Tomato
Will see as normally use Waze speedo - it appears VW one is reading about 5% over
Tomato
Yep full black out now the way forward
Tomato
Cant understand why my wing mirrors are black plastic…maybe it matches the massive expanse of no foglight black plastic…anyway another reason why it’s going full dechrome, slammed on black 20’s bruv, have got the black plastic wheel arch kit and the big rear spoiler being fitted this Friday…you get me fam

I is strappin’ up a gen VW Sportline from vanstyle - will post before and afta

Just thought best to pop on the spare wheel lock…another pointless exercise (like me plugging a kettle today into the 300w inverter) THERE’S NO SPARE WHEEL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
Tomato
Wondered what that pot of silly tyre foam was for…jeez louis. And I bought a 3T bottle jack to replace the VW Polo spec widow maker scissor jack…Zzzzzz
Tomato
No sport setting on the DSG…cant stay at 90 mph up a gently inclining autobahn either. Falls to 70mph. Am considering renaming it “weedy” - time for a BIG power upgrade. And brakes. Maybe.

150 or 199/204 motor?
Tomato
weedy 150 but off on Weds for REVO remap at Bognor Vans, Oli kindly checking the VIN. My previous 6.1 was also 150 but didnt lose steam up hills…somethings up…gearbox ratios? Latest emissions? Gutless
