Long time no see. It's been awhile since I've been on this forum. For the past 3 years I've been working overseas and been away from US. Here is my work van that started out as nothing spectacular.
So as stated in the title it's a built thread. I'll start from the very beginning and fill the thread with what has been accomplished. So stay tuned, obviously, if this is of interest to you. Lol.

Here is what I want done:
- Custom air suspension around AccuAir eLevel system;
- Doors soft closure function;
- 2 seperate seats with table off Viano;
- Finish full leather/suede/alcantara interior;
- Custom LED tail lights;
- Sun roof;
- 4matic conversion.

This is what has been accomplished so far:
- 2010-2014 face lift;
- Mansory body kit;
- Brabus 18" wheels;
- Brembo big brake kit all around;
- Full paint job in White Satin;
- Soundproofing;
- Audio upgrades;
- ECU calibration;
- Full white interior light up;
- Viano steering wheel;
- Electric rear window flaps;
- Underbody rust protection;
- Keyless-Go;
- Frront seats with ventiation and heating functions off Range Rover;
- Full upper interior in alcantara with star gazing;
- Viano 2010+ gauge cluster;
- Heated steering wheel;
- Crusie control with limiter function
- Digital climate control.

So here is what I started with:

At first I ordered a brabus style front bumper


But than I decided to ditch this idea and go with mansory replica (fiberglass version)













And 2010+ headlights

2010+ front fenders

Trying on the body kit:

Exhaust tips don't really fit well:

Had to modify the rear bumper to make exhaust tips fit better:

New wheels. Found them used so had to do some restoration
These are real Brabus 18x8.5 +55 wheels so I had to use spacers to make them fit.

Dechroming the emblems

On the Vito

Up to making a new dual axle-back. Not very happy with the result. I think the exhaust tips need to widened and cone shaped otherwise it looks odd. This is something to still be addressed in the future

Ordered a custom big brake kit for the Vito. 6 pistons with 350mm J-jook rotors up front and 4 pot 320mm J-hook rotors in the back

3kgtSL91

Added a pocket for random crap

Changed dash light up to white.

Since front window tints are illigal in Russia I had to get electric tints for my front windows:








Here is a knob to control the darkness. Goes from transparent to limo in a couple of minutes


Here is a video of it in action:

Had to get a new headunit. The old one hands free calling was a mess. This one does a much better job. Better microphone I guess. Plus got a Viano steering wheel so I can have controls on the wheel.
