Steve’s VW Caddy SWB Micro-Camper

Steve brought his VW Caddy to us for a conversion from a Panel Van to Micro-Camper. This was our first ever Micro-Camper conversion and we really enjoyed working on it. To start with we fully sound deadened and insulated it and used new Plywood Panels which we carpet lined in Graphite with Black on the roof. This was finished off with 4 touch sensitive dimmable LEDs. The floor was insulated, plywood lined and finished with off with Altro floor covering. Steve chose a Rusty Lee RnR bed trimmed with Black Leather feel and Red Gti trim, he also had the front seats retrimmed to match. We fitted a 2kw Autoterm diesel heater for camping in the colder weather, then added a Leisure battery with DC to DC split charger. The EHU was fitted under bonnet with mains a charger.

Chris brought his brand new T6.1 Kombi to us for some Exterior Styling and some inside work. We fitted the Leighton Vans LV-R Styling Kit with side bars and 20″ gloss black Alloy Wheels. The van was the lowered using Bilstein B14 coilovers. We think you will agree the exterior looks amazing. Inside we fully carpet lined in Anthracite, and installed a Kombi bulkhead. The existing seats were then retrimmed in Black Leather feel and Red Gti trim. These were finished off with new seat belts re-webbed in Black with Red Gti strip. We were really impressed with the quality of the LV-R kit and think this van is a real head turner now.

Tim brought his T6 to us for a front end facelift. We added Transporter HQ V3 headlights with DRLs, gloss black grills and lower splitter. As you can see from the pictures, the side bars had seen better days, so we replaced those with Trapezoid side bars. This certainly made a difference.

Richard and Hazel came to us with their Renault Master, which was originally a mobility van. It was already carpeted, but without sound deadening and insulation, so that was our first job. We added a skylight to the roof for ventilation, as there were no opening side windows in the back. We then set about wiring in a leisure battery with split charger and Solar Panel. Next we replaced the floor covering with Altro flooring before making a bespoke U-shaped bed and kitchen pod. This included storage for a portaloo. We built in a 2 burner hob, sink and a fridge. The customers also wanted a TV mounting, with external aerial and a Fiamma F80 pullout awning. They are now all set to go on their adventures.

Frank drove his brand new T6.1 in lovely Ascot Grey pretty much straight our workshop. He wanted the stunning Leighton Vans front chin & splitter with gloss black upper and lower grills, and a Leighton Vans rear spoiler fitted. He also wanted it lowering on Bilstein Komfort Coilovers, perfect with the 20″ Riviera Alloys which were already fitted. Inside the walls were carpeted in Anthracite with dark grey suede on the roof finished with Black flush fitting LED lights. To take away from the panel van look we fit 2 non opening windows and 2 fake rear quarters.

Derek and his wife Janet came to us in search of a van that would still allow them to leave the house during the unprecedented times of Covid-19. Together we designed a van that would enable them to drive to their favourite places in the UK for a cup of tea and make some lunch in comfort and style.
