Seeing as we're now not bay specific I'll put a few pics up, might fill in the gaps if anyone's interested when I'm on a comp and can copy the links easier. Sold my bay in September 2015 bought a bog standard 2012 t5 ex lease van with 57k miles and full history. As bought. Windows added, roof added, interior added wheels upgraded and we're here a year later. Still lots to do but no time recently 'cos we use it a lot to do this. It's my only vehicle so I pile the miles on, in 14 months all I've done is oil and filter and the egr valve was changed under warranty. I'm currently thinking of redoing my interior over winter, as I say I'll update a bit more soon.

I saw it a T/E, tastefully done and practical, not blingy like some tend tobe

I didn't realise you now had a roof installed. Put a few inside pics up. Are you planning on painting the front bumper or leaving it stock.

Had a little job to do today, while the days have been mild but grim and damp I've had a soaking wet screen inside the van, mentioned it on the t5 forum and was told there's a pollen filter hidden under the kick panel passengers side which gets overlooked and if blocked will cause this. Date stamp shows it's never been out. (Jan 2012 and van is April 12) I've cleaned it best I can until I can get one.

A minor thing I've been meaning to do, when I first fitted the durite split charger all was well, whilst driving the starter battery charges and once full it let's some amps to the leisure one, makes a nice mechanical clunk which you can't hear when driving, However because it's dual sensing when parked up on hook up the leisure charges via a c-tek and once full it flows to the starter, that's all cool but if you're using the leisure it gets "confused" and trips in and out and if I'm having a quiet time the clunk annoys me so I've fitted a switch to break the earth feed to the relay then when onsite I can just charge the leisure alone.
