Took the Kangoo on the prowl today :)

[Chi]

I got a job in Crewe so decide Id take the little van, once Id finished I decided Id avoid motorways and come back via the B's..
I love this van, it feels like Im on the PROWL lol.. One thing I have noticed is cars don't want to move out the way and when Im in the outside lane there's a danger someone will pull out because they don't expect a van be moving so quick..

Haha joys of a sleeper I guess haha

 

[Smnwllms172]

Is that the white one that was on eBay a while back? I'd love to have bought that.

Everyone should have a sleeper before they die, it gets so much attention I should look for sponsorship from one of the traders lol

Yes mate the very same one, so glad I bought it..

 

[Adamm.]

Cool story bro.. Someone had to say it lol

 

[BoatNonce]

Lol, would love to build a sleeper at some point.

I haven't got the ability or the knowhow to DIY but Im looking out for another lol...

 

[jesus]

I want the Kang172!

 

[Knuckles]

Fit some blueish hids (or xenons if they were available) should get people out of your way

​get some pics up of that thing!

 

[BoatNonce]

Only thing is it's on 1*2 wheels right? Needs steelies

 

[sam_clio182]

Really? People decide on moving over based on headlight shade? The bluer it is the more likely they move over?

​Wow.

​Wow.

Did you not know? Having xenons/hids blazing is the international symbol for 'get the f**k out of my way'

Funny it was an A6 that refused to get out the way, I think he was scratching his head lol

​Steel wheels, the type that plastic wheel trims get put on on cheap cars

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Looks like the seller removed the 172 wheels. Looks good on those wheels to be fair

​Steel wheels, the type that plastic wheel trims get put on on cheap cars

Why? Thought Alloys were the way to go?

 

[pbufton]

His point is it would make it look more of a sleeper i guess. Would look like a bog standard kangoo from the outside then. Wolf in sheeps clothing ect ect

 

[BoatNonce]

Exactly, steel wheels look like it's a company van, or a rental, whereas the 1*2 wheels give it away a bit.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

It's on 15" 5 spokes now off a non sport though.....

OIC Handling would be effected if I did that though.. They probably have a clue when they hear it pull up lol

 

[BoatNonce]

That's the only thing, shame you can't get wider steel wheels made.

 

[DannyR]

That's the only thing, shame you can't get wider steel wheels made.

Of course you can, banded steels can be made any size you wish

 

[fil_b]

Any pics of the van?

[Chi]

​Yeah I saw that

Ive been in touch with EFR to see if they can sort the lights out, doesnt bother me though tbh

 

[Martin_172]

I noticed a massive difference in people moving out my way when i fitted hid's to my gt dci, was no longer a problem but they were in projectors so looked factory i always assumed it was because people assumed it was a rep mobile tanking down the outside
