[QUOTE="aogrady, post: 449533, member: 3512"] Hi Lard, Cheers! The step was polished originally, got bored of polishing it, thought body colour would be nice, as not many vans that i saw anyway, though got bored of that, and fancied a "nicer" colour, a nice dark metallic brown, which stainless bolts to finish it off. Quite fancy doing other parts in the same colour, i need to redo the OG front VW badge, before it gets any more patina, and will paint it this colour also Would also fancy doing the inner section of the wide 5's in the same, but doubt my painting ability's much more than a few simple bits! I really don't know why more people don't fit a solar panel, i too don't fancy putting lots of stuff up there, i dont really rate the load capity of it to be honest, though plenty of people have no issues, i just dont fancy the rubber mounts and wood screws mine seem to be fitted with. If i hadn't fitted the solar, i was going to redo the entire fixing system, as it is, i will just redo the rubbers and use stainless fixings. I intend to use some hardwood to strengthen and support the alloy frame, but its fine as it is, just another mod i fancy implementing. Lots more i want to do, re-wiring, new power cables to minimise voltage drop...etc Treat yourself, get some different paint out, and buy yourself some solar!! Cheers! Alistair [/QUOTE]
