They have chopped the roof, am i correct. If so it makes the van look like a long wheelbase, or stretched.

George

Look closely and you can see the insert panel behind the door pilar with the window, this shows it is a LWB and normally they have a high roof, this on appeares to have a SWB or chopped roof

I don't like lwb mainly because of the roof but I like matte's one and this low one looks pretty good

That looks awesome with the lower roof line. I'd be keen to do it to mine but have enough to do at the moment. Maybe one day.

David does this mean you don't like Garry's van :D

Post by: BusyKiwi on March 29, 2011, 06:22:10 PM
ok i'll rephrase it to standard lwb vans :p

Garry's van looks good, well proportioned, not sure if it would suit the low roof but it could be that i am just used to seeing it as it is

at least if you get lucky with a LWB, you can throw them up in the air and have less chance of causing spinal damage ::) ::)
