Yes I'm fussy, I won't pay top dollar but I would never put cheep on my van. You spend all your hard earn'd on your motor then trust the only contact patch to the ground down to a bit of rubber made in a wing wang wong factory by a bloke who don't give a... Come on if you drive at walking pace...

My personal opinion is that around 40 - 55 % (of width) is the best compromise in looks, handling & wheel saving ability. Just ask yourself this what are the fastest cars.. F1 and do they have super low profiles? No, because tyre, suspension, shocks body strength they all play a part in the...

Ferrari 250 GTO 60's, the one that inspired the e type, with number plate '250 GTO' ooooooooooh nice.

was on 62k when i bought it, 2yrs later it's on 67k. i won't get rid of this one unless... not going to mock it, eh.

Yer I know it's hard. I looking for a bit of banter... & CB can you explain what a 'gockel' is?

I like your thinking Waynne, cos there has to be a reason for bad drivers... For me well I always take my hat off when I get in to my car... But there and again I always take my hat off when I go in to a building.. so with your thinking and mine I now believe bad drivers all have one thing in...

Cheers Waynne like your thinking, the Sharan is a VW, so yer I check out Seat's alhambra.

Has anybody come across a short shift gear change for a Sharan? Bit of a long shot but got to ask eh? :wink:

I thought it was going to take a bit of tinkering around. I think I'll leave the original on and rough it up. I found one place that sells it by the 50Mtr roll? And on ebay they seem only to sell the stuff with foam backing for seating.. Do any of you guys know to buy the Alcantara without the...

If I was to recover my vinyl dash board in say Alcantara or fake suede do I need to peel off the original vinyl first? or can I just stick over the top? I guess I'm thinking about around the plastics, etc.. Thanks for any ideas. :lol:

Bends over straights every time and I drive a Sharan Sport (what a difference compared to standard springs). EVERY BODY is right on this one if you 'enjoyed' the bend(s).... but heres my take on it.. RULE 1. Vision, vision vision: I've done many a A road, and I like to keep the locals...
