[DLMURL="http://www.vanax.co.uk/railblaza"]Railblaza Mounts | Railblaza Accessories[/DLMURL] just thinking of this when i buy my net van !! please add to this thread if you have any good/ helpful links to stuff for our vans to make them funky

 

[Gazzer]

Ply lining, Reversing camera, Wheel arch shelving , Seat covers , side bars ????

 

[Qwerty]

Led bulbs (number plate light, sidelights, interior lights), hands free kit, chrome mirror covers.

I always buy new bosch aero wiper blades too.....makes such a difference!

 

[cam_low]

I think i will go for a rear reversing camera and a dash cam..... anyone already have them ?

 

[cam_low]

I'm so getting a dash camera after the last few months of driving and nearly having three idiots write meoff

Yup , both.

 

[CJ]

Thought only women had reversing aids?

Or old people?

:smilewinkgrin:

 

[cam_low]

I've got reverse sensors. All I need really, you will also want a really good phone system. Like a parrot or Bury (I have bury)

 

[radim]

got parrot and dash cam. not big expenses but can save hundreds of pounds.... don't have reverse cam - has been developed for women...

 

[Gazzer]

The Bluetooth Handsfree on the Vivaro is great...no add on needed.

 

[radim]

does anyone have tinted glass in their van? is it legal btw? thinkin get my done to prevent it being like oven in summer....

 

[AMA Tiling]

Yup , both.

And creates a lovely little niche for the phone! 😉

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

i might get a sat-nav fitted something like a garmen ! not fitted by the manufacture , as i think the one's we fit in the window are too-much of a target for thieves ...... Deffo seat covers too...

 

[CJ]

Also got the parrot. Work well.

Girlie aids......I have no need for. :lol:


Why why go to the extra expense of Sat Nav......as most phones have them nowadays.

I would recommend a guard that fits on teh rear bumper to give protection. You can get black or stainless. I woud also get the wrap over type,http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VIVARO-TR...arts_SM&fits=Model:Vivaro&hash=item27d313584b . I bought the flat type but it doesnt protect the curved edge.
Sill protectors are available too in Stainless and saves scuffing paint work when getting out of the van.
Be carefull if you want a Bull bar as there are not many that fit the new vans due to the air con pump being in the way. If you do find one let me know.
Side bars look cool but can drag if you go over uneven ground on site.
You can get Stainless front and rear bumper bars etc to add protection.
I went for heavy duty original cloth seat covers, took a while to fit properly but most people look and think they are the original seats.
Stainless door handle covers are available and I find it help keep the van clean when you open the doors with grout or adhesive residue on your hands as it wipes off easier than the black plastic handles. They just stick on with scotch tape...very sticky !
Get a USB stick and down load your music collection on to it. Stick it in the USB port on the dash and you have all your music to hand. Great idea.
I bought some extra original interior roof lights for the rear to add more light.
Finally finish it with one of these

I was hesitant to fit these as i read about resistors may be needed due to the electical system software !

Are they over mats or replacements ?

 

[radim]

replacement.
I didnt have mats at all just factory finished floor. It comes in one bit so no stones, mud and other mess can get under mat. it is good thing.

These bins were mentioned before on here. I got some and find them really useful,You can lift them out. I've the laser level in one, core drills in another, and I just take them in with me if needed.
