Hiya , must admit haven’t done that
Think theres always something to do on the disco , , ie , like at some stage , changing my 17 inch wheels to maybe 18 or 19 so can still maintain a decent sidewall depth , then of course the V8 brake mod

V8 brake upgrade with performance pads and stainless steel hoses... she now stops as quick as anything else out there (even when towing) I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Short term: AT+ tires instead of regular street tires
Long term: the better cup holders or the mObridge bluetooth kit

Gary, you realise that all you are doing is creating a wish list that will keep you going until the end of time and it’s not like you don’t have any other projects ongoing
Internally it’s the Bearmach shelf in the boot as it gets everything off the floor and up there is dead space anyway..I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

On the first GS it was fitting the pop out cup holder in the passenger side air vent- a feature the HSE D3 has which is sadly missing from the D4 And Xenons which made a massive difference
Then on the D3 HSE it has been a tie between the Cubby Fridge, the British American Bluetooth adaptor - https://britishamericanconcepts.com/ and the sunglasses holder in place of the drivers door handle
D4 has just had a fridge added so this is really the only thing that was missing - however I have added facelift mirrors and Facelift Xenons, 20" rims, Extended leather door cards, facelift rear lights....
Must stop buying shiny toys....
