After many months of thinking, questioning, planning, budgeting, and waiting our lovely two tone California Ocean is now on our drive.
A brief Specification summary is..
204 PS, 4 Motion, 7 speed DSG.
Cascavel alloys with alloy spare. Green heat insulating privacy glass. Full M/F sports steering wheel.
F&R park sensors with camera. Composition media with App Connect. Cruise control. Awning in Black. Heavy duty anti roll bars. 80 litre fuel tank.
Because we loved the look and "atmosphere" of the original T1 and T2 we wanted our new T6 to be a fun holiday camper van.
We saw the Caravelle special in red and white at a dealership and really liked the idea in principle.
So we ordered ours in Candy White and soon after it arrived in the UK we took it to Brin Jones VW approved bodyshop in Filton near Bristol to have our plans fulfilled.
They were very knowledgeable and professional so we were confident but a bit nervous too.
After much thought and research we decided on the lower half being painted in original VW Turquoise Green which is a colour that was used on the T1 &T2.
Ten days later the result was better than we had ever hoped for...I have hopefully managed to attach some photographs that give you a good idea of it.
The colour is a gorgeous soft green that blends beautifully with the green tinted glass.
We had the awning cover painted in Candy White to match the upper body so that it is a bit more subtle and blends in with the roof.
We also had the black background on the VW roundel on the rear door painted in Turquoise Green to match.
We then had the chrome strips applied on the lower front grille. the rear door lip, and along the lower side swage lines which give it a nice lift.
We have had VW lowering springs fitted which, together with the HD Anti roll bars makes the visual stance better and the overall handling superb.
We are really over the moon with the final result and on our first away trip to Dorset this weekend received lots of comments on how lovely the colour looked...so
We know that she (Florence...Magic Roundabout) will not be to everyone's taste but she's unique and beautiful...and she's ours
