Had front and rear bumpers plus front door pods from these people a couple of months back. Can't complain. Mouldings are of good thickness YES they need a bit of trimming and adjusting but what do you expect for the money. I'm more than happy with the kit I got from them. Their turn around was good ...

No photos from mine yet as I've not got to the door bits, they're still looking at me waiting to be painted like the bumpers.

Try searching the web for Mk 1 Golf stuff. With a little bit of mucking around they will fit.

Going up any hill at 60 would be a feat of engineering for my van. As far as I'm concerned it's not about how quick you get there it's if you get there that's my biggest worry. :wink:

If it's the euro style kit they're a pretty heavy moulding. I fixed mine using the 2 original mounts, lots of careful measuring etc. drill holes and fix with original bolts and plastic caps.

Nah you'll get used to it after a bit. You've probably got used to winding the wheel around when your not moving like I had. The one thing I would say for no PAS, is at least you have some feeling of whats happening at the wheels.

If the awning is anything like mine it should have a pole with suckers that slips into a pocket on the skirt and then sticks to the side of your roof. The suckers on mine were useless, but JK do some really good suction clamps ( part no J12392) I bought a kit with 3 in for about £30.

I bit the bullet and bought a full stainless system from Bluebird Customs for my 89 DG engined Leisure Drive. Just put a big bore straight tail pipe out the side now it looks great and sounds great too. Alot of money at just over the £500 mark but at least the tin worm doesn't like it.
