Cheers, was going to be matt black but decided to colourcode it. I didnt like the orange reflector before but i like it now with the black.

I quite like my orange strip too.. Personally, i was toying with coding all on the grey panel bar the number plate recess & surround.. My main concern is my passenger wheel arch at the moment!

Hi back from hols, they are the sprinter arches, had to add a little piece in the middle but they are a good shape.

Working on van again yesterday, fitting longer seat rails in rear which i modified from Kia Sedona ones bought for £20. Drilled extra holes to give more seating positions but still need a couple more to be happy as they do not come close enough to the front seats. They do allow me to make up 2 front seats as beds and no gap when rear bed is made up. Took a while but worth it.

Retrimmed the tailgate trim today, it was well overdue as there was a couple of splits in the vinyl. Not bad for £5.50 for the material.

I have been considering the rear tailgate re-trim for a while, is it much hassle to remove?

Mine took 30 mins from start to finish, it is just held on by 4 removable plastic pins and then about 10 pop fasteners, peeled off the original vinyl and glues accoustic carpet in place with carpet spray adhesive then poppe dback into place on the tailgate.

cheers tonnee
Guaranteed I will somehow end up pulling the whole tailgate off it's hinges or something equally daft when I give it a go

I had a long thin pry bar behind the panel to pop the fasteners as they are secured quite well but managed to unpop them all without breaking any
Dont forget to remove the rear door handle, just one screw.
I also left the 4 push in plastic pins off when I refittited it so I have a nice clean finish
