Interest in the versatile and ultra cool T4 has been on an upward trajectory in the last few years and the upsurge shows no sign of abating… Practical, affordable and great looking – it seems everyone wants one of these strong, handy holdalls these days. And when Dub scene aficiondos finally do get hold of a T4, they totally spoil it – lavishing their ride with a selection of carefully chosen accessories. But what to buy? From our extensive T4 catalogue, here’s the top five best-selling T4 upgrades…

1. Wheels

A new set of rims can transform the look of an otherwise run of the mill T4 in an instant. Whether you want to go for the motorsport, OE or Euro look there’s guaranteed to be a wheel to tickle your fancy among our range of Rota and Wolfrace hoops.

2. Sports Suspension Kit

Getting that all important stance right on a T4 is crucial, which is obviously why owners have been snapping up sports suspension kits. Basically, take your pick from the likes of KW or Bilstein regarding kits or buy some Eibach lowering springs.

3. Light Show

There’s lots you can do with T4 head and rear lamps to make your van stand out from the crowd, ranging from half-smoked and frosted rear lenses to clear indicator lenses and super slick, ultra modern Audi style headlights. The T4 accessory world really is your oyster…

4. Sports Steering Wheel

Let’s face it, the stock T4 interior can look a tad business like and boring so one of the first jobs you can do is to fit a different wheel. Which, according to our sales figures, is what a lot of T4 owners are doing… Take your pick from a range of mega Momo steering wheels – all the necessary bosses are available to make them fit your van.

5. Gearstick Extension

Finally, tt’s always nice to gain a few more inches, not around the waistline we hasten to add – but to the length of your gear lever. Our 3in long beautifully crafted CNC extension, angled to make shifting a lot more comfortable, simply screws on in place of the existing gear knob.
