    Couldn't agree more.

    But in my web travels for the Mk7 thread I do see some amazing Transporters and Caddys worked over for the shows either as actual show cars or support vehicles. I still admire the work that goes into some of the creations.

    ..says the guy who opened with "drop it another 40mm and it would look good".

    I agree though, and this set up at least shows up as more practical for a day to day use.

    Ok maybe 20 mm then , but have a look at the first van . I can,t see how that one can make turns under load or speed without scrubbing the arches .
