| It is safe to say that we are very very excited! Picking up Bella from Brazilian Kampers in July - after she is registered in UK, passes some tests and has a SPACE roof fitted. Some stats: Brazilian Kombi 2012 Water-cooled LHD 16,000 miles 6-seater Turkish green Jayne and I have 2 little ones - Finn (6) and Emily (4) and we're based over in Northern Ireland. Planning to take the tunnel over to France as soon as we collect Bella. Firmly in shopping mode now to kit her out! Any suggestions about tips for France and general newbies like us are greatly appreciated. You all seem so friendly - can't wait to be part of the community! BMac    | |

| Congratulations! What colour canvas are you having on your Spaceroof? Matching or contrasting?  ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer

| Although I imagine 'matching' that colour with everything in the van could get a bit much. Currently looking at nice enamelware picnic set. Storage is very limited as we have full size rock-n-roll. The conversion is sweet though - the unit lifts right out of the van for some outdoor cooking if needed! | |

| I've been admiring your Kombi on the VW Kampers website. It's fabulous. Do come to a club event sometime and let us have a proper look. | |

| Think we are going to swap the fake wheel cover for a colour coded grille. Would love to come to one of the club events in the future. Thanks! | |

| Was also thinking of getting a sun canopy and windbreak made using the same material that SPACE are using for the canopy - has anyone had any experience of doing something similar? | |

| Just planning a custom canopy and windbreaker made from the same material as the roof conversion canopy - will post some pics and technical details in the Kombi creative topic when I'm done! | |
