This is great but I think you should paint the bonnet white like the rest as I think it looks a bit odd and the two tone looks 🔥
Agree.. Also a white bonnet in front of you when driving is less depressing haha bright white... Looks mint, well done.
VW have the paint scheme right, doesnt make sense visually as it is, in my opinion! cracking job, but impossible time limit! Quality prioritises speed!
Great job as always, I’d say keep it factory…
Argee 1000%
Yep, agree take it to the original spec as it was new.
what a project ! ⭐ smashed it dean 💯
Thanks 😃
@@SavingSalvageYou know you are in the big league when @TH-cam comments on your video
@@yahyavali-gp6nh and they know his name!
@@KentTrainsBusesAndMore Good point.
Yes, a white bonnet would improve the looks. Can’t believe what you achieved in such a short timeframe. Terrific job - well done.
He didn't, he is a liar
Top work! You’ve really helped to demystify the whole front end of these things which is such a torrid mess of rubber & plastic tubing & wires everywhere. Great fast repair! Can’t wait to see it painted.
You did good, just a day too short to do it in. Have you thought about fitting the plastic arch guards all round? Just a thought and, it does save the arch paint in car park scuffs and scrapes when random trolleys are allowed to roll into your car.
That was a massive ask, but jeez you very nearly smashed it out the park, amazing effort Dean👍👋👋👋👋 Enjoy a well deserved holiday with your loved family, and look forward to seeing the Caravelle completed
You have not failed bud. Dedicated to your family, subscribers and your workmanship. Looks great. Thank you.
Great few videos! I felt under pressure for you! Keep the factory colours... Thanks for your videos really enjoy them.
Love the work...keep it coming. Keep the 2 tone...definately. have a great holiday 😊
Lovely vehicle Dean. Well done for getting that 90% done. As you say, at least you haven't got those nagging doubts while on holiday.
Have a good break and leave TH-cam behind for a while and get some family time with that gorgeous little family.
Nice work Dean, shame you could t get it over the line. Would be nice to see it fully finished and a happy wife reveal video.
Have a great holiday
Top job Dean!!!! Shame you missed your MOT slot I’m sure you will get it done!!!
I personally don’t like the two tone there is too much of a contrast I think it should be more subtle. I love the bottom half dark colour but maybe a top colour that blends better.
Factory look, white bonnet, and hope to see it finished and valeted, enjoy your the holiday!
Great update! Bonnet needs to be white, keep it all stock. Have a great holiday down here in Cornwall!
Awesome effort. you did so well in getting it close to complete. Maybe in hind sight it will turn out to be good that you didn't quite make it, give you time to fully check it over and make sure all is OK.
Well done Dean. You and family go enjoy your holiday you deserve it see you in the next one
Smashed it pal contents awesome super genuine and humble makes a change from most car TH-camrs
thankyou Dean,,youve done very well it looks the business,,finishing touches wont take long,,👌👍
just found your chanel and I must say this is the best car repair content I have come across.
Top job ,, 👌
Enjoy your holidays ,, Safe travels,,
Keep em coming 👍🏻
No fail here just another great build well done dean 👍happy holiday
do the bonnet white and that section of the other wing, It looks amazing and you have done really well. I LOVE my T6
welcome to the club!
Love the bus
Interior in leather is great
Sure the Mrs will love it.
Great show 👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome little project, keep it original and updated video with a brake down on how much it cost and finished paint job and clean but 110% grate job happy holidays definitely deserved!
Loved this series- Thank you!
The missus fancies a camper van so great to have this come up and see a bit more of the guts of one! :)
Lovely job!! Enjoy your holidays!!
White bonnet Dean, keep it factory looking. Hope you have/had a great holiday.
You've done a cracking job there Dean, and I agree with you on the blue bonnet and removing the arch trims 👍
Yea baby!!!, looks awesome. crackin job .Well done p.s. Bonnet white, also enjoy your holiday
Well done Deano be great to see it when it comes back from the bodyshop have a great holiday with the family mate and forget all about TH-cam 👍👍👍
Shame you didn't hit the deadline but you did a great job there Dean.
If it was mine I'd get the white bits painted blue as I only like 2 tone on split window campers.
You can dissolve the Sikaflex with WD40, I once had a genuine dealer fit spoiler on a car and it started coming loose when I was ready to sell. I squirted WD40 in the gap between the spoiler and tailgate, let it soak for 10 minutes and the Sikaflex peeled off. The paintwork was perfect underneath.
Enjoy the holiday!
Agree bud looks better in all blue
Nice one Dean I think it looks fine with the bonnet being blue. I do love a astra vxr one of my dream cars enjoy your holidays 👍
I agree the blue looks better than the white unless you get the body shop to top blend the white to blue and wrap the white to black, and enjoy your Holidays have a good one
Perfection!!
Have a great holiday buddy 👍
Was good to see you get this done really quick Dean shame you didn't get it ready for mot time 😢but overall it looks great I like it with the blue bonnet but you better ask your wife 😅hope you're holidays go well for you all have a great time 🎉
Well done, would be cool to see it after it is 100% compete, blue bonnet looks good too… Perhaps even an outtake with the family going on a first drive in it when all done. Enjoy the holiday.
Awesome video! I think you should keep the bonnet white and OEM, don’t forget to fit the front NS fender lining!
Great video. The front lower fog light is testable on the 2019 onwards , the Ac light wouldn’t fail👍🏽
Lots of comments say you need to respray the bonnet white but I like it as it is. Take a deep breath and have a holiday then check your work before MOT and letting the family loose in it :)
Bravo mate, looks wicked. Was nice to see something a bit different as well
So close!!! looks great in the blue…. I think all over blue would be nice.
Enjoy your break fella 😊
Loved these video - beautiful bus. So many views! Sue 👍
Liking the 20-ish minute videos!
I like the blue as well, you should take the blue a bit higher to where the lower panel ends on the A Pillar and same on the C Pillar and filling in the white bits below the windows.
You did a great job Dean, it was always gonna be tight to finish it, not sure of the colour tbh, I like the white, just not sure of the blue colour, what about wrapping it in a funky colour ??, Well done Dean, have a great holiday.
Dean doesn't matter you didn't make dead line did great job enjoy your holiday mate you deserve a break 👍👍
Happy daze well done hope ya holiday is good with good weather x
White bonnet for sure. I would want the arch trim as it saves on parking knocks.
Good video Dean, I would of thought same as you not to take it just in case of breakdown.
Enjoy your holiday, the caravelle will be waiting for your return. Lol 😂
I had one of the first Astra Vxr’s in the uk in Arden blue when it first come out.loved it.
Have a good holiday Dean, enjoy the van😎
brilliant, so nearly done. id love one of those. you deserve a holiday 👍
Huge effort and exciting content Dean. Thank you.
I think you've done well in the you had as you said there's no worries about it breaking down and sorting out that wiring. That did my head in and I wasn't doing it.😊
Damn, was going to keep a look out for you down cornwall😁. Looking nice that wagon, have a great holiday, ill be down st ives working probably 😅👊
Fantastic project but definitely a white bonnet. Really well done. You deserve a holiday
Loved the videos on this, looks cool want one myself now.
Great job again mate. I would do the white in limestone grey to be different then all others 😎😎😎
Never fail to impress mate 👏🏼 some work that but what a beautiful T6 💯 Do need to put that bonnet back in white Dean.. that 2 tone is back mate 👍🏻
Great job, and a quick turn around also. I'd personally have it in the deep Blue colour 👍🏻
Awesome job. Sorry you couldn’t get it done in time we were looking forward to spotting it as we’re down in Cornwall on holiday at the mo. I’m with you on the bonnet colour would make it stand out from the standard two tone look
amazing video dean your wife will love her new van excellent outstanding work 👏👌
Cracking work, well done.
Really enjoy your videos.
Looks great in the time frame you’ve cracked it out in.
I would do the bonnet white, if you look at the drivers side the top of the wing is white so it would wrap round well!
So near but yet so far, enjoy your holiday bro'. I like the white on the bonnet
Surely one or two less tea breaks Dean and you would have had time for M O T & paint job 😂, but yeah amazing to get as much done as you did and only just miss the M O T ☹️ by couple of hours , well done 👍🏻, enjoy your holiday break Dean you definitely deserve it 👌🏻.
Dean great video lovely family hope you all have a great holiday
John
All I can say is wow is there nothing you can’t fix well done and pity you don’t live in Ireland ide be round getting you fixing any car I had lol 😂 keep up the great vids love them :) John
Close but no cigar, Dean. Cracking effort though! I'd personally go factory on the paint. Have a great holiday 👍🏻
Great video Dean, pity you didn't manage to finish it in time for the MOT. Have a well deserved holiday
Great video and channel 🙏 to get lucky for the VXR burg draw, wanted one ever since they were released
Great project, well done for getting it done so quick. White bonnet would finish it off.. 🙂
Epic update! Definitely keep the factory/stock look 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow what a 100% success!! You don’t need the stress of a possible breakdown on holidays so just rest on this triumph and plan your next holiday away when it’s perfect👍👍👍👍 happy holidays, ps your channel is more awesome than ever now🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Great work. And I am relieved you didn’t take on holiday as there is bound to be problems.
Nice work, enjoy the holiday. 😊
Nice Job Dean,Dont think the bonnet ties in with the 2 tone as it's above the white line,enjoy your holiday 😀
All Blue no doubt will look better!! Nicely done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What you need to do with the paint is to take all that blue to the underwindow line and keep the roof white with front pillar.
Obviously it involves more body shop paint but it will look Sick!!!
Love the channel dean 👍,, put your tool box in the back and book a mot down south 😮
Top job. I saw this on copart, sent to the better half as a successor prospect for her T5 sportline but we agreed I haven't the time to fix it and it would likely look half finished in 6 months. Good to see it more or less done
Cant believe the speed on this repair! - well done all around - the ACC should recalibrate its-self driving around, if not park it 1.2m from a wall, and hit recalibrate in ODIS / Geko & VCDS(?)
so close but that was down to waiting on parts Amazing effort so much work and yet you nailed it even with out clear diagrams for the fuse box assembly very nice job
Very well done Dean.. winner winner.. she's sweet...keep it the colour it is now..looks great and will be unique...Richard from Devon
Really enjoy the different cars you work on. Every auto-youtuber and his mate does fast cars or mega cheap cars (assume they're better clickbait) but very few seem to make videos of cars that most of us end up owning!
I would go back to the factory style 2 tone with the white hood!
What an absolutely superb project. I loved the speed of the progress too-think it really worked in context to why you were doing it. As always a bang on job done. You are smashing it Dean in a big way. Good on you mate - enjoy your hols with the family. Nah nah nah bonnet ain’t right …needs to be white white white.
Man I would like 10% of your ability and expertise! Especially figuring out those electrics. Great vid, thank you.
Just needs the triangle shape piece and the edge of the bonnet where it aligns with the 'A' pillar in White and the bonnet blue as you like.
Defo keep the factory look , was gonna say change the wheels ..... but we all know what would happen them 😅
Great work as always Dean 👏
This is a resounding success for the van to be built on time.. unfortunate to miss the MOT.. happpy holiday
Great job , enjoy your holiday 👍
Great project and amazed thar you got so far in such a short times. At least you will now be able to finish it off and test it properly before it goes into service with the family.
Love these mate. But agree, best get it complete, while it’s back together it’s the last 10% that will finish it, valet, paint and trim bits 👍🏻. Enjoy your holiday.
Shame that you missed the slot for the MOT but I kinda think it may have been for the best, Don't want any breakdowns ruining your holiday. Good job as well.
It was a massive undertaking for a short period to get it done. You did absolutely brilliant though pal..
Looks sweet Dean. Great job.
I’m still feeling sick about you scratching it down the side, even more now I see the parts you bought matched it, take a deep breath, have a well deserved holiday, come back and go through it again thoroughly, paint it as per factory, get it detailed and mot’d and enjoy it, good job👍
Nice on Dean, enjoy your family holiday. As far as the colours, I would stick to white bonnet and upper wings.
A superb effort against all odds. If it were mine I'd go OE white bonnet. Massive accomplishment. Well done.
Paint the bonnet white, Excellent work again Dean. Your channel is epic!
