I've decided to make the most of my white van man paint and go for a pimpwagon style on the T4.

Please post up some pictures of pimped wagons (Lexus, Range Rover, Bentley, Porsche, Hummer etc) to give me a feel for the white bling look I reckon will be the cool thing for 08.

Inspiration is soooo needed!

bling bling baby

I've found some more:


Gemballa GTR700 Tornado


Mansory Bentley


Techart Magnum


Overfinch Range Rover


Audi R8




VW Golf W12


Audi RS4


VW Passat R-GT


VW Golf GTI Mk5

OK, thats enough whiteness. Hope you approve - it certainly shows a trend and I reckon I can use the ideas on the bus.

I have picked out some of the styling cues I want to carry onto the T4:

Big gloss black/anthracite/semi polished rims with low profile tyres
Red brake calipers
Deep air intakes and fat, smooth bodykit
Projector spotlights
Honeycomb style grille
Red grille detail badge/outline
Projector/crystal/LED headlights with black bezels
Crystal indicators with black bezels
Crystal LED repeaters
Tinted glass (smoke)
50/50 door mirrors (white/satin black) with inbuilt crystal LED repeater/sidelights
A,B,C,D pillars black with matching scuttle panel
White door handles
Crystal LED taillights (50/50 red/clear)
White/Chrome tailgate trim
Wurth black number plate surrounds
German style numberplates
Chrome tailpipe
Roof spoiler

Some of the bits are available aftermarket from Germany but some of the mods will require repainting chrome parts white, chopping up new parts and the like.

I'm not scared of this (ask Alanman - we were raised on filler and fibreglass!) but some careful planning will be needed to get it right.

The white/black look has been attempted on the T4 but as far as I can see, not at this level yet.

Here is a mates panel van with my old Cayenne S rims on. He is adding bonnet vents, tailgate moulding, later wings (with the vent) and a Projektzwo grille at the moment.


Here is a van with a typical kit on. OK, but it doesn't go far enough IMO:


Finally, the picture that set me off - a panel van lowered on Porsche rims in gloss black. The contrast between the rims and the body makes me believe its do-able, with the right parts.


What do you think?

Its not new but it's the ultimate white pimpwagon. lol. \/

Shameless - but I knew it was coming LOL!

I reckon apart from the small (in comparison) rims and bits of chrome on the back it was spot on. I thought of this when I began to look but haven't seen any with modern mods.

I think ALL that sounds cool but what about the red lipped wheels like the GTi posted above. That look awesome.

And yes......fibreglass is your friend.


Alanman

The Porker rims I have are currently boring silver but do have the redeeming feature of a polished rim (rare on these wheels) so I haven't thought about the red lines (though it does look tasty, coupled with the badging, grille trim and of course red rear lenses).

I think I will have to get the rim centres done gloss black before I can make a fair judgement. Unless someone can Photoshop it for me. I'll find a pic of them.

Maybe you could find some insparation from our American cousins

Bringing some colour is brave but still pimping all the same \/

I like the roof mounted basketball net on the Escelade that Olstar posted. That's well pimping.

This one is close...



Almost there, windows and it would be spot on...


Near perfect bar the amount of chrome at the front...

And even this new T5 (next to a decent T4) looks cool. Sure its too high and its got sucky orange indicators (the guy had just bought it so he is excused) but the clean white look has impact.

Its gotta be the way to go!
