Made some room in the garage today by fitting the wheels, needs to go lower me thinks & narrower. Thanks to Andewilson for wheels..

Need some of your thoughts guys and opinions as I can't make a decision. Here's my dilemma

Bumpers - I got original bumpers with splash pans & over-riders in primer with all rubbers stainless bolts etc....

The options

Make good and paint to match roof....
Make good and chrome the lot (this understandably is very expensive)
Sell and purchase polished stainless bumpers (expensive also from Harrington group £700 off set against money gained from sale)

I was going down the painted route until fitting the wheels today now I'm undecided again....don't even get me onto front beam etc.. That's another decision that's doing my nut in!!!!! Opinions greatly appreciated, even off the people who may want me to sell my overriders & splash pans... Ha ha

Thanks Ben

Personally I don't like chrome on a van except for the deluxe trim.
I would go with the painted bumpers.
Just my two cents.

Painted bumpers for me 8)

Had a real long day but well worth all the miles, to say thanks, as Nick went beyond his remit and I am literally blown away by the transformation.

He has made me a very happy ginger bloke!!! & for that to say thanks I enlisted the help of Dr Tricky for some pin-striping which I gave to Nick today....

Pride of place hung above the office!!!

Now got some LED lighting which is bounced around off the high gloss floor... Happy happy happy!!!

Can't wait to get him back now and start work!!

Ha im famous quite possibly my best interior to date gald you like as much as i do mate cya soon Nick

 

[Bay-low71]

Ha ha ha....
To say I'm pleased is an understatement Nick, things have been very slow since coming home, busy with work and just life in general with Christmas and lack of funds, hoping to get some hours on the bus soon. Got my tickets for VoWo 2014 so we'll hook up then hopefully with the bus, speak soon. Ben

These are great! Nice retro look.

I'm looking for modern inertia seat belts for the front and for the 3/4 Westy seat. What exactly did you buy?

 

[Bay-low71]

If you go onto the seat belt
Planet website take a look, really good choice of colours and different clasps. Here's a copy of my order e-mail...

I put some more pics up when I unwrap in a bit,.. Ben

 

[Bay-low71]

Here's a quick pic of the items received...

2 fitting kits to mount reels onto tubs.

 

[magoo]

Cheers, I'm guessing it's easier to fit rear belts with a full width seat rather than stretch across to the 3/4 seat.

Who is going to fit them? Some photos of the installation would be helpful.

 

[Bay-low71]

I will be fitting them, I'll take some pics as I go. No probs...
