 let me know if you can do any deals. i can get wheels through my old work for pretty cheap but they can't get the lm reps in the correct offset for another 3-4 weeks. would need posted obviously.

egr blanking plate to fit.
also, its done 340 miles to half a tank. which i think is pretty good. a fair bit of that has been round town and country roads, not really been on a long run at a steady speed yet. roughly works out at 40mpg.

Got some wind deflectors but haven't got any pics. Been out biking with 2 mates tonight. 3 bikes, 3 people, 3 lots of stuff and still loads of room! I didn't think I'd enjoy owning a van as much as I do!
If any t4 owners are reading this and would like to offer advice on what lowering springs and shockers to get, please do!

They are loads better than standard.
At speed they have even better contact and push on to the screen, not flap around like some wipers.

Same lights as I've got 
As for suspension, t4s 'r' us do some good kits, if I remember right they do budget or eibach kits! It's worth a look!

When you lower your suspension, you tend to get through ARB bushes pretty quickly, I'm not sure why, I think the vans are pretty hard on these normally anyway. Worth getting them swapped when you get your suspension done.

Yeah, I'm thinking of starting to change as many of mine as I can for poly, just for general handling response as well as hushing up some knocks here and there.

Bloody hell quite awkward to get to the rear light cluster bolts. I guessed at 10mm but was wrong, think they are an 8mm and can I hell find an 8mm socket!!!!! Will have to change the lights tomorrow.

fitted the wind deflectors
found some dice valve caps in my garage, so fitted them for absolute comedy and hilarity.
88bhp of turbod non intercoolered power plant. beast.
set about doing the egr blank plate before i realised i had no ratchets, and hardly any sockets left. i think i actually need to buy a new tool kit. the last 2 years of doing nothing car related, i must have left spanners and tools all over the place. still can't find an 8mm to do the rear light clusters with. ah well.

Guy across the road from me has a 10 plate one of these. Looked alright until he started putting shit on it. Bullbars, chrome mirrors, black tinted rear lights and shitty. dished alloys to name a few.
Please don't do that to this.

Fitted the egr blanking plate, obviously it's just rested on top of where it goes in that pic.
Rear lights before with yellow indicators
Rear lights afterwards with smoked indicators. Looks loads better!
