Beetlebums Panel

Dude you're a legend, thanks for doing that! Think it needs some whitewalls to set it off. Boombastic, moon disc time.

I'm thinking about fade tinting the front and rear windows in the van in a light smoke effect, do we thinkthis is a good idea or a bit chavvy?

Limo black rear, dark smoke door windows & a light smoke strip on top of screen i reckon?

Hmm tempting, but not alimo tint, I can hardly see out the clear one, lol. I did want a yellow fade but have tried for the last 6 months to get hold of some and still no joy.

Agree with rich dude, looked like a chaved out ride sorry

don't do it dude,.......but it is your bus

Yeah I tried him, he works with my mate sues brother who owns a titning shop, they can get me some, but it wouldnt be legal, as it has to be 30% viz.

you cant get legal tint as the legal limit is set lower than any manufacturer makes go for it and screw the legality of it dude

as its a commercial vehicle you can get away with a bit more on the legaility side (i used to sell the tinting film for a living! )

Thats why i suggested darker on the rear, semi dark on the sides

Hmm, some interesting theories, think I'll play iot by ear til I see a colour and go 'thats pefect'.

Ive been using mooneyes as my daily for a while now, and loving the kids waving every morning, and all the miserable old sods wave. Today went into B& Q and some bloke came bounding up (and I'm thinking fuck did I clip him on the way in ) and he gets to within 2 feet and goes 'mate your van is fecking wicked'....

Your get use to it bud happens to me every where i go

You gotta roof rack now Ollie??? If not I have one for sale

Hi dude, yeah I got one off rich, but then had to sell it to blue bettey because the van wont squeeze into the garage with it on. Cheers tho.

Im dead chuffed enjoying the van at the mo, but am getting itchy fingers to do something else to it now (wihtout going OTT). Not interested in engine mods etc. Anyone got some ideas? Bodywise maybe? I like to keep busy, and we cant afford to do anything DIY orientated on the house for a month or so.

run a smoothed front, bumperless, ummmm

I think chromed bumpers on late Bays look quite snazzy!!

dude you have exspencive tastes!! £450 each

Ah........should I retract that suggestion then??

Nice idea though. Maybe some chrome effect paint might work. I like having the bumpers on, especially as that dick hit my rear one last weekend. Some good ideas on the chrome though, maybe a bit of bloing will brake up the sea of yellow.

If you don't want to go down the shiny chrome route, how about gloss black??

Hmm, not a bad idea, bumble bee style.

How about gloss black with a red stripe to go with the sign writing????????

Moon discs are on! White walls next and MAYBE another drop at the rear, plus door sign writing.... (over the next few months when funds allow).
