Show us your "Two Tone" California

[Wrinkly Ninja]

Looks great when did you put the Waistline Chrome on?

After the paintwork was completed.

Do you like the matching T1 green rear roundel?

I love the retro wheels and think they would look lovely on mine but yes they are expensive. Where did you get yours? What size are they and if you don't mind me asking...how much?

 

[Gazellio]

The 18" Wheels/Caps are a staggering £ 2449.54 (Plus Tyres) from VW Colindale Main Dealer Parts

 

[Gazellio]

PS: I like the coded Roundel well done

PS: White awning was a good idea it would suit mine too...

Eye watering

That's why we stuck with Cascavel alloys (which I got FOC because of a factory ordering error )

What headlights have you got?

And I see you have not blacked out the Front Door pillar.

With the spec we ordered I ran out of funds when it came to headlights.

Love the LED's but nearly £2000...really?

The standard Halogen ones are ok on main beam but poor on dipped so have ordered Phillips Racing Vision bulbs for main and dipped and whiter light bulbs for side lights.

Didn't want to black out the door pillar because I felt it was cleaner looking and a bit more retro in Candy white which is slightly off-white.

 

[Gazellio]

What was the total cost of the upgraded bulbs?

 

[Blue Juice]

Satin blue wrap with blacked out pillars. Just got to sort some bigger wheels out and I’ll be happy

 

[Gazellio]

That's looks lovely especially with the rack and surf board!

Amazon £57.50 all up. I think you will need H4 for your Beach

The ones you show are Extreme vision which are supposedly + 130% but more realistically + 30%

The Racing Vision are the same thing but again supposedly + 150%,,,more likely + 50% and are £18.49 for a pair

Here's the link..

If you want to have slightly whiter side lights as well then look in your manual under bulb replacement and see what type you need...mine are W5W bulbs and I'm getting Phillips Whirte vision xenon effect which are £4.55 for the pair - Amazon

Others on the forum have said if you want to replace your side light bulbs you need to do so when you have removed the headlamp bulbs otherwise you can't get them out.

Hope this helps

Your van looks brilliant Blue Juice! Also like the look of the venue (kitesurfing going on behind). Where is that?

 

[Gazellio]

Aftermarket and just for looks - makes glass area all dark as on Caravelle. Quite easy to apply but you need to be careful. Buy from the shop on this site. £28.98 inc delivery.

Thanks! That’s down at CBK beach, Hayling Island - top spot!

 

[Gazellio]

Blue Juice thats not Deal/Walmer/Kingsdown beach is it?

Nice! I used to kite on Hayling before it became CBK beach, but didn't recognise it in the picture. Must have been the sunshine making me think it was abroad somewhere! Bracklesham's my usual venue now, although I'm a bit of a fair-weather kiter so prob won't be out on the water again for a few months yet.

No, Hayling Island

That pic was from last years Kitesurfing Armada - we had three days of solid wind and blue skies! My local is Goring, I’ll go out this time of year as long as it’s not too mental, but prefer winter waves on the SUP down at witterings. Never been out at Bracklesham, I’ll make an effort when the days get a little longer!

No photo I'm afraid, but try to picture this. I was driving along the motorway near Alicante the other day when I saw a heavy flaked blue/grey metallic and pearl white two tone T5 from the Netherlands. Nothing unusual you might think but the colour split was longitudinally along the body with the left side of the vehicle in the grey metallic and the right in the pearl white. Not quite my cup of tea, but certainly different.

It looks good!

 

[Iron Van]

Great looking van Alistair. I have often wondered what VW would have done with the extra space had they used the LWB body. How is yours laid out?

Cheers
