Prep before the wrap is extremely important and I haven't really mentioned it in the video. When i do the tailgate I will go over all the prep including wrapping on primer
What a fantastic job - love that colour! Mate you have a real talent! I have a T5.1 Caravelle Exec and it’s my pride and joy - I didn’t have much choice re colour as I needed the side wheelchair lift it had but if I had the choice this would be the colour I’d go for 👌🏼 Can’t wait to see what else you do, if you have any plans for a reversing camera then I’ll look out for that footage as I’m a bit unsure about tapping into the rear light for power/reversing signal etc. Seriously though, I’ve really enjoyed all your vids and look forward to the rest!
Thankyou Lizzy. Ive just been doing my camera. Hard part is feeding the wires into the tailgate. Connections were easy enough the reverse power is green with a black line and the earth is brown. Might be different on a t5.1 though.
Not a bad effort mate, looks good. I have been debating doing the facelift on mine but undecided. Your channel is getting a good amount of views for a new channel, hopefully you do better than mine, I don’t think the algorithm likes my channel 😂
Great job. Also busy with a T5 upgrade. Could you pleased share the headlight wiring diagram . I would also like to use the same wiring but correct the pin position. Would greatly appreciate the advice.
It was a huge job, looks quick on TH-cam but each panel probably took an hour to do and then the prep before that was very time consuming. Thanks for watching.
Great job. Now I have another option instead of repaint. Could you please give me some advice on the headlight wiring or share any diagram you may have. I also want to swap the pins around and include daytime running lights (will take a switched live from fuse box). And that relay sounds good too. Please advise. Will appreciate the info. 🙏
Thankyou Colin. I've been away for Christmas but will be back tomorrow and will get a diagram and some pictures up. I ran the wiring through the bulkhead to the light switch, there is an ignition feed there for the DRLs and a place to put the relay.
Hi Matty. Trust you well Just checking if you managed to find those wiring diagram for the headlight that we chatted about. Getting a bit desperate now and can't seem to get any help. 🙏🙏🙏
So sorry Colin I've had a mega flu with double ear infection. I will get pictures done but for now the pins should get you started. 1-1 2-x 3-5 4-x 5-2 6-9 7-6 8-3 9-8 10-4 So first pull out purple clip, it just slides out. Leave pin 1 as it is, pin 2 is empty but remove rubber grommet, remove pin 5 and put in the empty space in 2. Then remove pin 3 and put in 5 and so on following above diagram. When you're finished you should have 2 empty slots 7 and 10 and 1 loose connector with a brown wire you can just put the connector in one of the spare slots and put the rubber grommet in the other spare slot. Take a picture before you start incase you get mixed up. This will get everything working.
Sorry pins are wrong. 1-1 2-x 3-10 4-5 5-2 6-9 7-6 8-3 9-8 10-4. It's the same both left and right headlights. I will get a close up picture of my plug done so you can double check.
Bobby's facelifts on Facebook marketplace. He's North Wales though and don't think he delivers. The bumpers and lights are genuine think they are off brand new vans, bonnet and wings are aftermarket but I was very happy with them. They lined up well and had no defects.

First time watching one of your videos and I am very impressed. The van looks brilliant, well done. Subscribed!
Thankyou very much Dave.
Great job all round 👍
You are far too tough on yourself. The facelift makes a massive difference to the look of the van so well worth doing.
What a fantastic job - love that colour! Mate you have a real talent!

Can’t wait to see what else you do, if you have any plans for a reversing camera then I’ll look out for that footage as I’m a bit unsure about tapping into the rear light for power/reversing signal etc.

You’re very hard on yourself. I think you’ve done a fantastic job!
Thankyou. I am happy with it just annoyed by the simple mistakes.
Thats fantastic, well done for doing it yourself. nice work.
Thankyou very much Billy.
@@mattybrawn You have inspired me to get an old T5 and look beyond the surface and make something beautiful, I just have to convince the wife.
That's the hardest part. I bought first and asked her afterwards. Definitely don't recommend doing it that way.
Not a bad effort mate, looks good. I have been debating doing the facelift on mine but undecided. Your channel is getting a good amount of views for a new channel, hopefully you do better than mine, I don’t think the algorithm likes my channel 😂
I'm a subscriber of yours. Your front end looks great as it is. Algorithm doesn't make sense to me, I've seen such great channels not get views.
@ Thanks mate, yeah I know exactly what you mean about the channel and algorithms!! Van needs to go into paint shop soon 🫣
Well done, brilliant result.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job. Also busy with a T5 upgrade. Could you pleased share the headlight wiring diagram . I would also like to use the same wiring but correct the pin position. Would greatly appreciate the advice.
Thankyou Andrew. Good luck with your upgrade. I will be back tomorrow and will get a diagram up and a better idea of how I did the wiring.
You did such a great job, please let me know if your camper needs a diesel heater.
Such a huge job!

Thanks for the comment Martin.

Thankyou Simon.
Great job
Thankyou. 👍
Excellent. Great you showed the flaws too. You could of hid them and made us think you did a perfect job.
Thankyou Mark. I think any beginner trying to wrap should expect some bad bits. I recon it takes years of practice to be flawless.
Amazing job! Would you do a T5 bonnet and if so how much would you charge?
I would be far too nervous working on someone else's car. Bonnet is one of the easier panels to do so I can't see a pro charging huge amounts.
Where did you buy the face lift kit from please ? Were you happy with the quality?
Bobby's facelifts on Facebook marketplace. He's North Wales though and don't think he delivers. The bumpers and lights are genuine think they are off brand new vans, bonnet and wings are aftermarket but I was very happy with them. They lined up well and had no defects.
