Getting there looks a bit plain due to no decals but I can't make my mind up what ones to use. I dont like the original ones so am thinking silver same as my old van, what do you think?

Silver stickers are fine but the problem is the colour, white westies are so last year and you can't see the stickers

Black and Red Sikas are what all the cool kids are driving these days :lol:

Did the original Syncro stickers come with the gap where the 2WD filler cap goes, or is this due to being replacement stickers?

That style are for the early models, usually Aircooled.
We are just looking at making them at the moment.
seems weird that the originals don't fit properly around the indicator, we have the quandry of do we make them fit properly or do we have them so they don't fit like the originals?
The originals were also screen printed rather than layered vinyl, and the real ones have a textured finish, not the usual smooth vinyl. :lol:

Oh, and personally Rob, I think it looks nice plain with no stickers, even without the syncro and 4WD badges.
The AT's and the Mefros tell you all you need to know, you need to wire up the fog lamp into the standard van lights, that thing below the bumper looks gash and won't last 5 mins off road!

That was me being lazy.
I just lifted the whole bumper off my old van, the fog light is not wired up and is due for removal. The previous owner had run a wire to the lights but it didn't work so will have to look into how to get that working.
