looking very nice bud. i have a silver one that is just at the start of being made nice. Keep up the good work.

 

Looks good mate had my wheels powder coated and that change the look of the van straight away

 

Cheers guys. Yeah its mad how much they can change it.

So during this week I have detailed the van a little using Poorboys glaze and wax and very happy with the results. Its not perfect, but then is going to be being in motocross paddocks every weekend.

Also put the black badge on the back, need to get some better pic's of the whole van to. Its booked in for painting the bumpers and a few other bits at the end of May

Been waiting on the spacers for a month now :/

 

Looks great so far, its one of the only T5's I have seen that looks good with the standard grey bumpers.

 

Thanks. I wondered about leaving the bumpers standard but decided to get them sprayed, should finish it off once done

 

So I have a pile of parts slowly gathering in the garage. A lil photoshop of how I want it sitting, duno how to acheive this on the front yet tho!

 

Cool, looks like a DTM style T5 in the photoshop picture. Very nice van and I love the Red an Black theme too.

 

Looking very smart mateT: Body drop would make the front sit that low:ILU:

 

Cheers guys T: Cant wait for the spacers to land and get it all painted up

Body drop would make the front sit that low:ILU:

I have thought about this but im running coilovers and im wondering if it would slide through the hub with the firmer ride, thoughts? Other idea's are smaller top bearings like the go on MK4 Golf's

Check out the smoked side repeaters on ebay! im rocking some.....its a cool extra little touch!

Thought about them but wondered how dark they may be and compaired to the headlights. May try Lamin-X'in them again I:

 

Looking smart mate, if your going for the black and red theme check out the smoked side repeaters on ebay! im rocking some.....its a cool extra little touch!

 

Looks great.. what tyre size have you got on the x5 wheels please?

 

Thanks. 245/45/19, wanted 225/45/19 on the front but couldn't find anything at a reasonable price

 

So my spacers finally arrived today, not massive 10mm's front and 15mm's rear but its made a differance. Will drop it more when its on the ramps while getting sprayed. Sorry for the poor pics, was using my phone.

Front

Rear

Glad I didn't go for 20mm rears either! Bloody side door

I did however try a front and rear spacer together to see what it would look like. Door didn't even open half way.

Thanks dude. Got a proper pile of parts in the garage now, just want to get it all on! Think I have seen the ones on ebay, wouldn't mind some red ones tho. Will prob get them black ones and flog them if I dont like them, the orange ones are annoying me slightly

 

Do u have any problems being that low and carryin all your mx stuff? I really wanna slam my van but worried about it rubbing. mosta the time its empty but somtimes i have 3 bikes in mine and sometimes also have a trailor on aswel

 

I have no probs when I carry; 2 bikes, 300l water and jet wash, 2 large kit bags and all the other stuff you take. Not scraped into a track yet either

 

Thanks that sounds good looks like ill be investing in some coilovers in the very near future. Which ones are you running if u dont mind me asking?

 

I'm on fk's dude, wish I'd have gone for the hot tuning ones tho so I could go lower.

Splitter arrived last night, shocking photo tho

 

Looking sweet, Got alot of time for that lip!

Been posting on Edition to your thread (Same username) Thought i'd pop over here too. Have a look @ my thread to check out the steelies....T:

 

Cheers dude, just gota wait a month now before the vans in for paint . Its not all going to be red either so it breaks the colour up a bit.

On it dude. I like the sound of banded steelies!

 

It'll be worth the wait T:

 

van is looking awesome. who did you get wheel spacers from?

 

Thanks . Got them through Awesome GTI but if you have a search for fk spacers there are plenty of places that do them

 

Got a few bits done on my van this week, its going back in next week for a few lil things.

Managed to get a few crappy pics. Not sure on the de-badge grill now tho

 

I like the grill on it You've made my mind up now as I need my bonnet painted so might just weld it up

 

Man that look awesome!! love the grill T:

 

Looks awesome, love those headlights.T:
