Calling white van owners…

[RallyRoss]

I’ve just taken delivery of my candy white t6 cali. I have to be honest I wasn’t a million mph about the colour but the van was everything else we wanted so went ahead and had every intention of giving it a half wrap but now that we’ve got it it’s grown an awful lot on me.

I wondered if other white owners might drop me a pic or two on what you’ve done to add to exterior styling (with some info on what and where you got it if possible).
Thanks in advance

Not necessarily a white van, but you’ll get the idea

Subtle mods?

Hi All, Found 1 or two threads on mods to the cali but interested on peoples thoughts on doing exterior mods. Got my T6 Cali a couple of weeks ago, love it but i can't help but think it would look a lot better slightly lower with different wheels and some side bars. Does this effect re-sale...

Our preference is for white, we have had a number of white vehicles . However we aren’t fans of chrome so on the Cali we replaced both badges with black ones. Black door handles, black spoiler, black edged step. Red front grilles and red stripes on the door mirrors. We sourced from Vanstyle.

We went for limo tint and California graphics, very simple but gets a lot if attention

Could it be something out of stars wars

In theory, white should be cooler in the summer. I know what you mean - I bought a white one which already had the lower wrapped but had to think long and hard about a white van. If I didnt have the wrap then definitely the black stripe along the bottom of the sides makes a huge difference and also I would have black between the side windows as HowieDog has done - I might get that done anyway on any colour van.

Having said that - dont be afraid to wrap. You can think of it as a paint protection film which doesnt have to be clear but can allow you to change colour every few years and when done you can just peel it off and the paint should be pristine, without all of the normal scratches from bushes as you squeeze past cars on country lanes... I think I could live with white with a few minor mods but for me, its two tone all the way!

Here is a pic of white that I liked and saved in case I had gone down that route:

Nice we did the same type of time before handover but do really like the cali styling band

Apologies, mine isnt white but I did kit it and dechrome…ask Bogmor Vans for advice, they did my Coast. The Richard Grant wheel arch / side mould kit would look good on white IMHO

Here’s my white van when it arrived…


and here it is after a bit of styling (alloys, lowered and lower half wrap and window tints by monster wraps)
