seriously quality workmanship gentlemen 👍👍

[@michaelw4620]

Love the fact you guys replace the rear crash bar from plastic to steel. An unknown touch but safety is paramount 👍

[@leighfrewin3686]

That was great to watch the whole process and the amount of work involved in bringing that all together. Top marks to what appears to be a top team👍👍👍👍

[@richterautomotive]

Thank you Leigh for the kind comments, we have a great team here at Richter, not only a great team but we only work with the best products, ABT have over 125 years of history and by far the best kit on the market, (it's even the official VW approved front spoiler which says so much! ) we also deal with Vossen Wheels, Bilstein Suspension, Hertz Audio, Akarapovic, etc, In our opinion all are the best in the business, which is what makes our vehicles so special and unique.

[@nilsjohnsen7515]

Looking great guys 👍 What kind of glue do u use to ad stuff to the body of the van?

[@colinturner6628]

Looking at the plastic parts being bonded together and bonded to the van what products are being used?, the tin of bonding primer that looks clear, and the tube of black adhesive that's being used in the battery operated gun? also what looks to be clear glue in the smaller tube with the two part mixing nozzle used to bond the parking sensors, All looks to be good and strong. Great Job.

[@TheFiler79]

I love these Van's what will it cost to have this done to my van?

[@richterautomotive]

If you contact our sales team on [e-mail] they will be able supply all the costs involved. Thanks

[@sonyvaioboy]

Just wondering why you put the fake window in the rear 1/4 panel? I had never thought of that idea and think its great. I've got a Kombi and for tax reasons it can't have windows in the rear 1/4 panel so this idea of a fake window is a clever work around!

[@lucyfenney6090]

Windows don’t have anything to do with tax. Tax class is set at manufacture on the engine size / type

[@sonyvaioboy]

@@lucyfenney6090 sorry maybe using tax is the wrong term. What I was trying to get across is that a commercial vehicle shouldn’t have windows in the rear. Hence why they make the Kombi with no rear windows. Just like those Ford fiestas you see going around with no rear windows.

[@lor3821]

How much to do the outside stuff only

[@richterautomotive]

please message your vehicle details to [e-mail]

[@anthonygreenwood1102]

What would be the cost of such a van? I’m in the market for one just like this.

[@richterautomotive]
