So I started playing with the back of the van in Photoshop because that is my least favourite angle... Got a bit carried away...
Smoothed the bumper, de-badged, frenched the licence plate on an angle, blacked the tail lights & made them LED rounds, added twin exhaust tips with recesses in the bottom of the bar... Kinda went all Mini-Truck
What do you reckon... Should I go for it?

Just checked ebay for doing the lights. Very possible. In fact loose the plastic and weld up and french them in. But you will need to move the reflector and fogs if you do the above

I thought about welding up the light recesses & frenching the tail lights, but it's a fairly major irreversible change to the body & would mean too much down time for my work van
especially because the light actually carry the ripples from the side through to the back, so that would need to be carried through the new steel... Frenching the number plate in is a different matter, I can just pick up a rear door off a wreck & fit it when done...
The fog lights aren't a huge issue over here, we maybe end up with 3-4hrs of fog each year
and it's nowhere near the thickness of what you guys get. I have seen some LED brake-tail lights with central reflectors to keep the coppers happy...
It will be a while before I get to this as the money has to go to finishing the more practical aspects first... This will be the finishing touch... But I'm definitely planning on doing it now

Cool has a look and the ripples would suit 4 lights better. Also saw these

Not good. I do think if it's third party damage a vehicle should not be written off unless you agree
