I'm soon going to receive our new project car (van/bus) - a 1994 Volkswagen Caravelle.

Our bus is a factory original 8 seater with factory windows all round.

It is white (currently sticker covered but I will attend to that ASAP) just like an VW panel van. This is primarily daily family transport for us, but as they are so easy to modify I have to play.

I'm already planning tinted glass, lights, suspension drop, bigger alloys and a bodykit. I'll be fitting these rims as soon as possible as I already have a set in the garage:




All the other mods are up for negotiation.

Should glass be black?
Should rims be black?
Should I black between the windows?
Should I paint the bonnet black?
Should I get a black bonnet bra made (these are black but can be printed with custom graphics to you own design)?
Should I add another colour into the mono mix and how/where?

For those who don't know - this is what a standard T4 Caravelle looks like:
