What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Hawthorn37]

OK so this is NOT a purchase for the Cali, but it’s inspired by a previous Cali purchase. It’s a Sosmar draining tray, or just the trivet bit actually - similar to the one we bought for the Cali fridge ages ago. This pair of different sized trays fit perfectly in the house fridge veg drawer, and basically do the same thing as in the Cali fridge!

Dizzy got some brandrup internal isolites today !

New Carpets fitted at the weekend. I was a bit hesitant...
Firstly I see a few going up for sale here so wondered if they weren't all that - especially given the price, and secondly on the Titanium Black - thought they may be a bit dark but was overruled by her good self. Actually quite pleased with the look. Got the door steps from the club shop - bit darker but they go ok.

New Plate ordered too.

Looks good!

I've just noticed no 'California' footwell light in the drivers side - when did they stop doing these?

Do you mean like the one on the sliding door? If so, I'm not sure but it must have been some time back as I've never seen them... the light under the dash isn't bad but I had some of the VW Puddle lights fitted - they do the job.

I also got the Brandrup Cabin mat with walkthrough but doesn't show in the photo as we have covered it with the rubber mats during the winter.

No sorry I meant the one like the one next to the step by the sliding door.

Yeah sorry, I meant the same one - just wrote it wrong. I didn't realise they had them in the front at some point... never seen them on any we have looked at over the last 5 years whilst thinking of getting one so they must have stopped on the T6.1 (or before)

I’m very pleased with the new shelf I received today.

I’ve been using a homemade one but decided to go a bit smarter with a new one.

Two Questions:

1) Where do you store it?
2) Where did you buy it?

Hi,

1) I’ve stored it in the bench seat drawer.
2) I bought it from CampervanBits.

Hi,

1) I’ve stored it in the bench seat drawer.
2) I bought it from CampervanBits.

Can also be stored in the pocket on the back of the seat, this is where I store mine as I use the under seat storage for food. Its pretty handy to access as well.

That’s a good idea. I’ll try it there this weekend.

Look great i prefer the sequential LED type V the Oem incandescent Bulb.

Simple upgrade and IMO better than OEM

A brand new spare wheel and locking bolt because someone stole the old one on a recent visit to Legoland.

Received a very comforting email from them to let me know they are aware of the problem!

VW wanted £300, a big thank you to Benn who sorted me out with a new spare at 1/2 that cost.

Do you have a link please… need spare wheel/tyre etc

Before you rush out and buy one it’s worth noting they don’t fit the T6.1

I was inspired by your post as looks ideal for passenger seat (swivelled of course) to place their coffee cup or wine glass.
Went onto shop and see there are two options 1) for T6.1 and 2) for T6.
Interesting variation in price though.
We have a T6 so it’s the cheaper one , I take it yours is also T6.

My shelf is now stored in the back of the passenger seat.

 

[pchmlk]

I’m buying one too. What a great addition.

The smaller IKEA BAGGMUCK tray with three SKOSTALL shoe shelves. Fits nicely in the GC footwell (probably in a Cali as well) and can fit two pairs of adult shoes and two pairs of kids shoes. The stands are height adjustable and can be disassembled and lobbed somewhere else in a flash. It’s the little things
