This is great but I think you should paint the bonnet white like the rest as I think it looks a bit odd and the two tone looks 🔥
Agree.. Also a white bonnet in front of you when driving is less depressing haha bright white... Looks mint, well done.
VW have the paint scheme right, doesnt make sense visually as it is, in my opinion! cracking job, but impossible time limit! Quality prioritises speed!
Great job as always, I’d say keep it factory…
Argee 1000%
Yep, agree take it to the original spec as it was new.
what a project ! ⭐ smashed it dean 💯
Thanks 😃
@@SavingSalvageYou know you are in the big league when @CZcams comments on your video
@@yahyavali-gp6nh and they know his name!
@@KentTrainsBusesAndMore Good point.
Yes, a white bonnet would improve the looks. Can’t believe what you achieved in such a short timeframe. Terrific job - well done.
He didn't, he is a liar
You did good, just a day too short to do it in. Have you thought about fitting the plastic arch guards all round? Just a thought and, it does save the arch paint in car park scuffs and scrapes when random trolleys are allowed to roll into your car.
Top work! You’ve really helped to demystify the whole front end of these things which is such a torrid mess of rubber & plastic tubing & wires everywhere. Great fast repair! Can’t wait to see it painted.
That was a massive ask, but jeez you very nearly smashed it out the park, amazing effort Dean👍👋👋👋👋 Enjoy a well deserved holiday with your loved family, and look forward to seeing the Caravelle completed
Holy crap that fuse box!!! My head exploded! 😱🤯
You have not failed bud. Dedicated to your family, subscribers and your workmanship. Looks great. Thank you.
Keep the bonnet blue just blend in the sides of the bonnet white so it matches up but looks better than all the boring stock
Well done Dean. You and family go enjoy your holiday you deserve it see you in the next one
Epic update! Definitely keep the factory/stock look 👍🏻👍🏻
Top job Dean!!!! Shame you missed your MOT slot I’m sure you will get it done!!!
I personally don’t like the two tone there is too much of a contrast I think it should be more subtle. I love the bottom half dark colour but maybe a top colour that blends better.
Awesome effort. you did so well in getting it close to complete. Maybe in hind sight it will turn out to be good that you didn't quite make it, give you time to fully check it over and make sure all is OK.
Love the work...keep it coming. Keep the 2 tone...definately. have a great holiday 😊
No fail here just another great build well done dean 👍happy holiday
Great update! Bonnet needs to be white, keep it all stock. Have a great holiday down here in Cornwall!
Factory look, white bonnet, and hope to see it finished and valeted, enjoy your the holiday!
Great few videos! I felt under pressure for you! Keep the factory colours... Thanks for your videos really enjoy them.
Smashed it pal contents awesome super genuine and humble makes a change from most car CZcamsrs
I would go back to the factory style 2 tone with the white hood!
thankyou Dean,,youve done very well it looks the business,,finishing touches wont take long,,👌👍
Lovely job!! Enjoy your holidays!!
White bonnet for sure. I would want the arch trim as it saves on parking knocks.
Top job ,, 👌
Enjoy your holidays ,, Safe travels,,
Keep em coming 👍🏻
Lovely vehicle Dean. Well done for getting that 90% done. As you say, at least you haven't got those nagging doubts while on holiday.
Have a good break and leave CZcams behind for a while and get some family time with that gorgeous little family.
Nice work Dean, shame you could t get it over the line. Would be nice to see it fully finished and a happy wife reveal video.
Have a great holiday
Shame you didn't hit the deadline but you did a great job there Dean.
If it was mine I'd get the white bits painted blue as I only like 2 tone on split window campers.
You can dissolve the Sikaflex with WD40, I once had a genuine dealer fit spoiler on a car and it started coming loose when I was ready to sell. I squirted WD40 in the gap between the spoiler and tailgate, let it soak for 10 minutes and the Sikaflex peeled off. The paintwork was perfect underneath.
Enjoy the holiday!
Agree bud looks better in all blue
Perfection!!
Have a great holiday buddy 👍
Bravo mate, looks wicked. Was nice to see something a bit different as well
Fantastic project but definitely a white bonnet. Really well done. You deserve a holiday
It was a massive undertaking for a short period to get it done. You did absolutely brilliant though pal..
What you need to do with the paint is to take all that blue to the underwindow line and keep the roof white with front pillar.
Obviously it involves more body shop paint but it will look Sick!!!
Dean doesn't matter you didn't make dead line did great job enjoy your holiday mate you deserve a break 👍👍
Could do white up to the bonnets creases and leave blue in middle
Have a good holiday Dean, enjoy the van😎
brilliant, so nearly done. id love one of those. you deserve a holiday 👍
Love the bus
Interior in leather is great
Sure the Mrs will love it.
Great show 👍🏼👍🏼
Loved this series- Thank you!
The missus fancies a camper van so great to have this come up and see a bit more of the guts of one! :)
Was good to see you get this done really quick Dean shame you didn't get it ready for mot time 😢but overall it looks great I like it with the blue bonnet but you better ask your wife 😅hope you're holidays go well for you all have a great time 🎉
Happy daze well done hope ya holiday is good with good weather x
Looks sweet Dean. Great job.
Loved the videos on this, looks cool want one myself now.
Great video. The front lower fog light is testable on the 2019 onwards , the Ac light wouldn’t fail👍🏽
Huge effort and exciting content Dean. Thank you.
I agree the blue looks better than the white unless you get the body shop to top blend the white to blue and wrap the white to black, and enjoy your Holidays have a good one
You've done a cracking job there Dean, and I agree with you on the blue bonnet and removing the arch trims 👍
Nice work, enjoy the holiday. 😊
Awesome little project, keep it original and updated video with a brake down on how much it cost and finished paint job and clean but 110% grate job happy holidays definitely deserved!
Great job , enjoy your holiday 👍
Just needs the triangle shape piece and the edge of the bonnet where it aligns with the 'A' pillar in White and the bonnet blue as you like.
I think you've done well in the you had as you said there's no worries about it breaking down and sorting out that wiring. That did my head in and I wasn't doing it.😊
White bonnet Dean, keep it factory looking. Hope you have/had a great holiday.
Lots of comments say you need to respray the bonnet white but I like it as it is. Take a deep breath and have a holiday then check your work before MOT and letting the family loose in it :)
Great project, well done for getting it done so quick. White bonnet would finish it off.. 🙂
All Blue no doubt will look better!! Nicely done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
do the bonnet white and that section of the other wing, It looks amazing and you have done really well. I LOVE my T6
welcome to the club!
Great effort, enjoy your holiday
Nice one Dean I think it looks fine with the bonnet being blue. I do love a astra vxr one of my dream cars enjoy your holidays 👍
I had one of the first Astra Vxr’s in the uk in Arden blue when it first come out.loved it.
just found your chanel and I must say this is the best car repair content I have come across.
Cracking work, well done.
Really enjoy your videos.
Turned out absolutely brilliant. Well done!
well done Dean love the blue bonnet!
Great job, and a quick turn around also. I'd personally have it in the deep Blue colour 👍🏻
So close!!! looks great in the blue…. I think all over blue would be nice.
Enjoy your break fella 😊
Hope the weather picks up for you.
Well done, enjoy yyour holiday
Top job. I saw this on copart, sent to the better half as a successor prospect for her T5 sportline but we agreed I haven't the time to fix it and it would likely look half finished in 6 months. Good to see it more or less done
Awesome video! I think you should keep the bonnet white and OEM, don’t forget to fit the front NS fender lining!
Definitely keep the factory/stock look 👍🏻
Great work as always!
Great job again mate. I would do the white in limestone grey to be different then all others 😎😎😎
Great work mate
Loved these video - beautiful bus. So many views! Sue 👍
You did very well there mate - nice going 👍🏻
Well done Deano be great to see it when it comes back from the bodyshop have a great holiday with the family mate and forget all about CZcams 👍👍👍
White twin racing stripes up the bonnet, with matching blue racing stripes continuing over the roof. Very well done on such a tight timeline. Enjoy Devon!
Really enjoy the different cars you work on. Every auto-youtuber and his mate does fast cars or mega cheap cars (assume they're better clickbait) but very few seem to make videos of cars that most of us end up owning!
Dean great video lovely family hope you all have a great holiday
John
If its two tone white over blue, then that must include the bonnet being white too. Great attempt to beat the clock Dean and hats off to you for sorting our that spaghetti mess of wiring in the fuse box :)
Yea baby!!!, looks awesome. crackin job .Well done p.s. Bonnet white, also enjoy your holiday
Liking the 20-ish minute videos!
I like the blue as well, you should take the blue a bit higher to where the lower panel ends on the A Pillar and same on the C Pillar and filling in the white bits below the windows.
Amazing great job as always
You did a great job Dean, it was always gonna be tight to finish it, not sure of the colour tbh, I like the white, just not sure of the blue colour, what about wrapping it in a funky colour ??, Well done Dean, have a great holiday.
Great project and amazed thar you got so far in such a short times. At least you will now be able to finish it off and test it properly before it goes into service with the family.
Great effort buddy 👍🏻
Nice one Dean on all them wires
so close but that was down to waiting on parts Amazing effort so much work and yet you nailed it even with out clear diagrams for the fuse box assembly very nice job
Insane deadline on this one!
Great project …2tone paint perfect but I would have preferred the white bonnet
Very well done Dean.. winner winner.. she's sweet...keep it the colour it is now..looks great and will be unique...Richard from Devon
Looks great in the time frame you’ve cracked it out in.
I would do the bonnet white, if you look at the drivers side the top of the wing is white so it would wrap round well!
Epic repair lucky having a welder to call on last minute ! Well done fella
Man I would like 10% of your ability and expertise! Especially figuring out those electrics. Great vid, thank you.
Defo keep the factory look , was gonna say change the wheels ..... but we all know what would happen them 😅
Great work as always Dean 👏
Never fail to impress mate 👏🏼 some work that but what a beautiful T6 💯 Do need to put that bonnet back in white Dean.. that 2 tone is back mate 👍🏻
Shame that you missed the slot for the MOT but I kinda think it may have been for the best, Don't want any breakdowns ruining your holiday. Good job as well.
Wow what a 100% success!! You don’t need the stress of a possible breakdown on holidays so just rest on this triumph and plan your next holiday away when it’s perfect👍👍👍👍 happy holidays, ps your channel is more awesome than ever now🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Surely one or two less tea breaks Dean and you would have had time for M O T & paint job 😂, but yeah amazing to get as much done as you did and only just miss the M O T ☹️ by couple of hours , well done 👍🏻, enjoy your holiday break Dean you definitely deserve it 👌🏻.
amazing video dean your wife will love her new van excellent outstanding work 👏👌
