VW T5 to VW T6.1 Front End Facelift - Step by Step: Part 4 (Bumper, grill and wheel liners)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2021
- In this fourth video in a short series we complete the main (pre-painting) elements of the facelift project. This includes assembling the bumper and grill, installing the new wheel arch liners and fitting the complete bumper and grill assembly to the van.
Note that HG Lifestyle paid the full price for this kit, receiving no discounts or payment from the supplier (as always) so that we can give a genuine and honest appraisal.
This kit was supplied by:
travelinlite-transporters.co.uk - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Oh I wish I hadn’t seen this,other half’s guna hate me lol…..top video fellas👍🤘🤘
The secret is making them think it was their idea! Have fun. N
I’ve owned my van for over 6 years now,you’d think I’d be a pro at blagging her by now….thanks for sharing👍
@@CampervanAdventures mine should be back from the paint shop this week ready for the final video in the facelift series. Excited but nervous! Cheers. N
I know what I’m doing next year now lol 😂
👍👍👍👍
Oh man, can't thank you enough - the 4 videos literally answered all my questions! Bought the exact kit from Travelinlite (T5->T6.1), but at early stage in December 2020, when they didn't label the bags with all the bits and pieces, clips and screws. My van got a full respray in the summer, has been sitting since and now I'm finally in the assembly stage - most part of the facelift process is straight forward and logical, so I guess at the end it all comes together one way or another, but your videos leave no room for mistakes. Lifting a dram of Scotch, thanks and cheers from Estonia!
Your comment has made my day! Delighted the videos helped, that’s what makes them worth doing. Best wishes from Scotland. N
@@highergroundlifestyle You should send the videos to Travelinlite too - they give perfect overview of the kit and as there really aren't that many T6.1 specific detailed facelift videos around, I'm sure they could use them as a reference. I've been searching above and beyond past 6 months... Found many T5->T5.1 videos, few good T5->T6, but nothing specific enough for T6.1, just some general ones.
@@Lepa96, I had the same experience and that’s exactly why I did them. They have been shared with Travelin Lite, who are really with them. I hope they will link to them from their site or share with customers. Cheers. N
Watched them all brilliant would love to do this with my T5 👌
Thanks Danny! Stay safe and enjoy the van. N
Nice job mate well done. 🙂👍
Cheers Arthur!
so so useful, thank you!!!
Glad it helped! Cheers. N
Hi did you use genuine wings or aftermarket thanks🏴
Will be doing a T5 to T6 (Not 6.1) on the weekend, hopefully a lot of the steps are the same!
Basic steps will all be the same but the parts will look different! Have fun. N
Perfect 👏
Many thanks. Next part coming soon!
Hi Looks Fantastic, when you fitted the fog light kit did it come with diodes for them as well?, and was the new switch to allow front fog lights did it also have the auto headlight function on it?
Colin, many thanks. Yes, the kit I bought had all of this. Best wishes. N
I haven't even bought my van yet, but you have definitely inspired me to have a go at upgrading the front end! Does it come with the neon style daylight running lights?
The new headlights have DRL’s built in. I’ve never regretted the decision to do my front end and would encourage you to give it a go if that’s what you want to do. Best wishes. N
Hi I’m in the middle of swapping my front end to a 6.1, what’s the panel called that the bumper clips to? Or do you know the part number, I’ve got all the parts but that
Hi. I think you mean the “front panel”. That is the metal piece that the plastic components fit to. They’re readily available. Best wishes. N
@@highergroundlifestylehi, I’ve found it out 7LA807699D
Do you have a list of part numbers included in the kit?
Sorry, no. Not difficult to pull together based on the video though. Cheers. N
