Hi All,

Not sure if many of you have seen the RD van before - for the past year I've been in business it's looked like this:

But then I got bored of the car, drove the van more etc and decided it was time to freshen and smarten it up. Also spurred me on when I became a Dodo Authorised Detailer as I had to fit the logo's in somewhere!!

So firstly, big thanks to JonnyJ on here for designing me a new logo

- looks awesome imo.

Then I finally tracked down a mint set of wheels I've been wanting for the van for a while - nice bargain find on eBay and a road trip to Lincolnshire

And then today I had my new signwriting. Van isn't the cleanest it's been but I'm now not allowed to clean it for a week to allow the vinyl to settle properly

Couple of crappy pics - may post better ones in a couple of weeks if I can be bothered / get the time:

Debadged, derubstripped, 6k HID's, 17" Focus Sport Pack Alloys, New signwriting and 75ps - 95ps remap

Ta for looking

Thanks mate. It's only a 1.8 75ps TDDi but remapped to approx 95ps and K&N Panel Filter. Going to get it rolling roaded at some point just to see what it is doing out of interest.

It doesn't go too bad tbh - not fast but not bad. I get torque steer up to 3rd gear which is quite amusing!

As said, big thanks to JonnyJ for the logo - it's going everywhere for this year!

Nick -

It sits lower than a lot of them anyway due to a special water based lowering kit I have on board

Cool, the new RD logo is great, but the Dodo one is plain shite.
no-one will be able to read it unless they know what it is already.
