T5 / T5.1 to T6.1 Transporter Facelift Conversion! | Darkside Paint & Body

[@johnrowell942]

Awesome front end face lift. Looks way better.

[@JappeGaming]

Love the transporter stuff on this channel! Keep it up.

[@matoroberts]

I retro fitted t6 led headlights to my 2004 (t6 facelifted) van cos I wanted them so bad but nearly died of a mental breakdown reading every letter of the vosa mot requirements and getting them to comply! Bloody love them tho; 👍🏼

[@Uilliam56]

This kind of modifications are so nice.Wish i could update the bumpers on my 2018 r8 to the 2020 ones, unfortunately they've told me the mounting brackets are different

[@vaklaf700]

Are they built-in or why cant you change those brackets?

[@Uilliam56]

@@vaklaf700 i went to the audi dealer i bought it from,and a guy that works there and that i personally know told me confidentially that audi most likely did it on purpose,because people would just go buy the pre facelift and change the bumpers and it'd be like literally buying the 2020 one,without spending 100k more,i indeed spent a little less than 100k and the new ones go for 200k+ He also told me though, that if i go in another place i would surely find someone who does that,but it'd be expensive and bespoke:i honestly aspire to do that,what ever it costs,i will wait though i'm in no rush

[@sniper14u2nv]

It would be good to have a price for front and rear, I’ve got a T5.1 which I’ve had for years and love it but been thinking about having it upgraded to the T6.1

[@TubbyTrialTeam]

are the front bumper beam and slam panel different to a 2005 or did you take them off and refit for another reason? looks awesome!!

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Should be the same. The one they put on in the video is the one they took off so just the bonnet, lights, bumper and wings

[@Kevin-pm7fj]

T5.1 factory sportline 20112 price full conversion price please?

[@shaunwhitfield112]

Class work as ever 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎👍😁

[@karlossmith3714]

Did you use a harness to convert them to t6.1 headlights?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Depends on the lights you're using. Usually a harness or re-pinning

[@leemunn5241]

Hi. How much would a conversation like this cost

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Drop an email to [e-mail]

[@francismccarthy3171]

Is the only difference between the t5 and t5.1/t6.1 slam panel the lower light mounts? Because far as understand the t5.1 and t6.1 slam panel are the same

[@DarksideDevelopments]

That's right, some people use the original and make brackets for the lights or buy the t5.1/6.1 slam panel with them already on

[@spannermad5246]

Well how ye all have a 05 t5 and was going to do that to mine. Just one question the panel you call the slam panal would that be the front panal that holds the headlights and that the bonnet closes into.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes

[@spannermad5246]

Thanks for the reply 👍

[@iCuTomohawk]

Transporter HQ do some good Headlight Options, check them out

[@philt8]

I don't think they do any T6.1 apart from the genuine ones.

[@michaelsumner4575]

Can this be done on a 2005 transporter please

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes

[@andyk7714]

What is the rough price of the front end conversion?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Links in the description!

[@highergroundlifestyle]

I’m putting a 6.1 front end on my t5 including new bumper and slam panel. Radiator sitting on rubber mounts on new bumper but have a gap of about 20mm to the locating slot on the new slam panel. Any idea what I may have done/not done or lost?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Alan at our Bodyshop would be the one to ask

[@DarksideDevelopments]
