I’ve done the sound deadening and insulation in the back myself, just waiting to get a window or two put in and carpet lining.... gonna be a day van for now.... maybe a rock and roll bed in the future!?👍🏼
Does anyone know if you already have factory windows in can it be put back to a panel van as like the opposite look? Same with the rear doors too I’m a fan of just metal van rear doors?
Nice one thanks! Yeah the back windows are handy for when driving. When I do my next conversion I’m going to do windows all round I do like the Panoramic feel 👍💪
I fitted my side windows last month and couldn't decide if I wanted rear quarters. Been thinking about recently as like you want the full streamline look. Going to get the black vinyl for the door pillar between front door and sliding door. Seen it on ebay. Ive just customised my rear lights to all red, for the time being as rear lights are silly.money. lol! Your Swamper Bus is coming along! 👍👌
Thanks, yeah it’s coming along nicely now. I like the door pillar vinyl will maybe give them a go too. I was going to smoke my rear lights with that tint spray have you seen it? Pretty good stuff and yeah your right the rears are expensive and I don’t actually like many of the aftermarket ones they remind me of the lexus lights 😂
Yes I have, used that once on my old Fiesta rear lights. Came out good, but abit fiddly. I used Red tint and covered the reverse and indicator section. So on my white bus it looks different to others lol. Got to be done!!
Looks mint! It's exactly what I'm looking to do on my t6 Highline factory kombi,, Only worry is will the fake windows tint match my windows tint on the slidding doors???
Thanks Lucio! Yeah go for it looks great, even better in person.. it depends how dark the factory tints are, but because the fake windows are blacked out they would never match 100% anyway. You could always offer them up to the panel before fitting incase you don’t like them. What colours your van?
Haha I think that’s the same as mine?! And no mine are aftermarket windows didn’t want the leaks on mine from the OEM ones.. lol. The other alternative I’ve seen is getting a real window in the same finish bonded on but it would be see through. Tough decision to make 😆
@@tubedarren ye was thinking of real gen glass with panels coveted in dark vinyl Then tinting the lot in limo so all matches perfectly but dunno sounds expensive!? Are yours matching perfectly or slightly off?
Lucio cancellara yeah that would start getting expensive and a lot of work.. if it was me I’d order a set of the fake glass and test fit it first to see if it matches and if i didn’t like it wouldn’t fit it. As for the match on mine yeah it’s like perfect you can’t really tell it’s a fake window. The ones I’ve got though are not the usual ones that you can get online though 👍 If it’s not that far for you give seaford windscreens a call and have a chat they may be able to match yours?
I think it's a good idea rather then all that messing about with cutting out the metal applying all the sticky stuff and placing the windows . To mess just can't be ass with that's fake window sound cooler and less harass
If by genuine mid Windows you mean you can see through it that's all good but if you were told they were genuine vw windows then they weren't being honest. Love the van though mate. 👍
Thanks Neal. No I meant as in they are actual real windows 😂👍 I never wanted OEM windows, they have leaking issues evidentially and aren’t my cuppa tea 😀
I don't really get the fake window thing? I think my t5 has one on the offside rear quarter but it is a camper with units fitted on the inside so you would never be able to see out of that one. Do love your van though! Colour, wheel arches and wheels look spot on! The fake windows look nice but I wouldn't have bothered on your van! That's just my opinion mate.
Thanks mate, appreciate it. Yeah it’s one of those things you either like or you don’t I suppose. In my case I didn’t like the way the van looked prior as it looked way to commercial in my opinion.. so by adding them it created a more finished look, must admit it looks even nicer in the flesh. I was going to fit some fake vents I’ve seen a lot of swampers but that didn’t make any sense for me😆 if I was starting a new conversion I’d go glass all round though 👍
@@tubedarren nice one mate, mines a black van with tinted black windows so they don't stand out as much with it all being the same colour! Check it out on Instagram! @t5boondockers
@@tubedarren to be honest mate, I've no idea what make the poptop is! Its fit and finish is very good and the canvas folds away without getting caught up on the hinges, I've hired a lot of vans in the past and they have all had really poor roofs! The company that did the van is called status 1 automotive 👍
I have a white van would you see paint colour through them ?
looking amazing mate. I'm picking mine up tomorrow!
Nice one mate good luck with your buy. Welcome to the club 👀💪
Loving ur van, spot on in my books . Just want I wanna do to my t5. Many thanks for ur video
a tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Ricky Fernando yup, been using flixzone} for since november myself =)
Looking really good Darren.... really impressed with what you’ve done to your van!🤙🏼
Hi Matt thanks, it’s been a lot of work and still got a lot more to do... all good fun though! 👍
Yeah I know exactly what you mean.... I’ve got my own T6 panel van project going on.... all good fun!👍🏼
Matt Lee nice one how far in are you?
I’ve done the sound deadening and insulation in the back myself, just waiting to get a window or two put in and carpet lining.... gonna be a day van for now.... maybe a rock and roll bed in the future!?👍🏼
How much do the cost mate ?
looks much better! Love the look of the van - digging the swamper look.
Thanks mate love the fake windows !!
Red calipers and van Bullbar/lights would look awesome. Look really cool good skills.
Does anyone know if you already have factory windows in can it be put back to a panel van as like the opposite look?
Same with the rear doors too I’m a fan of just metal van rear doors?
Looking AWESOME. Ive just got decals on mine. Want a back window though really.😊👍
Nice one thanks! Yeah the back windows are handy for when driving. When I do my next conversion I’m going to do windows all round I do like the Panoramic feel 👍💪
Amazing... I need full labels, not just quarters, I have Transporter Van
Looks sick! Where d'ya get your tyres?

Sounds nice I’m intrigued to see it, are you on Instagram?
@@tubedarren Hi no instagram. Sad I know! lol
Haha i wanted time see those lights, I can only guess what they look like now 🤣
Looks mint!
It's exactly what I'm looking to do on my t6 Highline factory kombi,,
Only worry is will the fake windows tint match my windows tint on the slidding doors???

It's indium! Lol
Are your sliding door windows gen vw?
Just don't want to regret it if when you stand back they are different shades 😎
Haha I think that’s the same as mine?! And no mine are aftermarket windows didn’t want the leaks on mine from the OEM ones.. lol. The other alternative I’ve seen is getting a real window in the same finish bonded on but it would be see through. Tough decision to make 😆

Outstanding looks great. I love your wheels and tyres? Any suggestions where to get these as these are aggressive as f**# 👍
Another good video dude
Simon Si cheers dude nice one !!💪👍
If by genuine mid Windows you mean you can see through it that's all good but if you were told they were genuine vw windows then they weren't being honest. Love the van though mate. 👍
Thanks Neal. No I meant as in they are actual real windows 😂👍
I never wanted OEM windows, they have leaking issues evidentially and aren’t my cuppa tea 😀
What was the cost ?
If you give seaford windscreens a call mate they will give you a price 👍
Having mine done on Tuesday looking forward to seeing it completed
Fitted today looks great thanks for the idea 👍👍👍
Nice did you do them yourself?
No a local company fitted them
