There recently was a post by a forum member who used photo shop to "paint over" the worst of the tennis racquets on the front end, and the result was actually not bad. I wonder if it will catch on?

That white one is beautiful

Confirmation that the third floor rail has been dropped as standard equipment on the Ocean. Those who think they might want to fit a fifth seat at some point in the future will need to be sure to order the optional rail.

I shouldn’t have read this thread, that grey 4motion is a bit of me!

It was a 4 motion, so no 3rd rail anyway.

I wasn't a fan at first but in the flesh I quite liked the look.

 

[Jay20cali]

I agree I wasn’t a fan either but it’s definitely growing on me the cali version is definitely nicer than the van version

Yep, that one got away from me. Nevertheless, I've heard that the third rail is now an option on the 6.1...can anyone confirm?

In the lighter colours the front end looks a bit odd, reminds me of a dog with a bone in its mouth. I can't unsee it

 

[Jay20cali]

I think the angle of that picture is weird?
doesn’t do it any justice the lighter colours look better in my opinion In the flesh

 

[soulstyledevon]

Still think it looks terrible...

I think it will suit the white and red. The Indium Grey 4motion above looks fantastic.

Think of it as a paddle instead, a nod to the adventurous Cali camper.

 

[soulstyledevon]

Looks better, I think it needs a thin body coloured strip between the grills to break that area up...
One of the converters have done that with their latest creation and glossed black the paddles, which helps.

I had a nosey around the Coast, trying to figure it out. I think it is more a Beach with a kitchen and wardrobes than an Ocean with a manual roof. Smaller 16" wheels and therefore the smaller brakes, "cheaper" level of trim on furniture and seating etc. Makes me wonder how many differences there actually are. Good idea though if you want to start basic and spec up.

BTW the grey showroom model was over £76K.

With the appearance package to paint the transporter’s black plastic bumpers.

So we are back at the best looking California then?

 

[clarinetbcn]

Yep, but with bi xenons and LED DRLs

Styling kits are on the market and a front Splitter sets it off quite well.

That’s the one.
Looks miles better...

Makes you wonder how Volkswagen design engineers have jobs.

Hmm, didn't know they had design engineers for over the last 10 - 15 years?
