This is my 2004 T5 1.9 TDi T30, which has been re-mapped to 140bhp. I bought it in July 2017 as a plain old Van with two windows and the wheels already attached. 

It’s had a full respray in R902 with some blue pearl added into the lacquer, and has Ford Imperial Blue on the wheels, door handles and mirrors.

Since then I have fitted the windows, stripped out the old Veltrim and replaced it with Anthracite Veltrim, but only after properly insulating it.
