T25 Caravelle_India-Help get a nice set of Spoilers ?

Post by xoticars »

Hi,
I am kinda new to the VW T25 World. Just bought this low milage RHD van here in India. This van was previously owned by the German Embassy here. She runs great and is all standard. I plan to do a number of upgrades like electric mirrors, lowering by 45mm, deep bumpers, and spoilers.

I am looking for a good looking set of front/rear spoilers, and side planking in RHD. Hey guys, help me find a nice looking set with details of the company that sells them. Send me pics. pls?

Have seen a rather nice kit, from a German company, but they only do in LH, and rather expensive too. They only speak German. Tried calling and checking, not much luck. kr-styling.com is the thread.

Here are pics of the van in its new Lexus colour. Like it?

I would keep it as is, maybe a slight drop on the suspension (30mm)
whats the roads like there? might not want to go lower as it can be a bit crashy...

T3 Lowering/Mirrors

Post by xoticars »

The van is unusually high, almost like a syncro, and looks ugly. Plan to do a 45mm H&R drop. Just ordered the bits from US. The roads in town are fine, may get bad on the outskirts, but rarely go there

Yes, the deep bumpers would look great. It would cost me close to UK Pounds 1,700.00 for it to be purchased and shipped to India. That's a lot. Perhaps cheaper for me to travel in and pick it up and return as hand baggage, paying for excess, would still work out cheaper.

Have now corrected the mirrors. These were fixed incorrectly by previous owner.

i bet that attracts attention in India. make sure you stop your fellow countrymen leaning on it. when we spent 6 months travelling India we used to have spot the leaner. best one i saw was some guy leaning on a cow :shock: it was cool :D

Leaning

Post by xoticars »

You were absolutely right about 'leaning'. A major problem here. They hafta always touch, feel. Hate it. Have lived abroad most of my life, and hence see it all differently here. When did you travel in India? Hope it was a pleasant trip. Which parts? In your van by any chance? :roll:
