What have you done to your Elgrand today?

Going to be using a sea container as my garage! Built a set of ramps to get her in. The smooth ramps were lent by the storage place the stepped ones are my build with wood glue drying to seal them against rain. Both made from mdf.

Was just checking as years ago I got fined for obscuring the number plate on the way camping, the copper whilst writing out the ticket asked me what I did, I replied "nothing I was made redundant today" the look on his face showed that he did feel guilty.

Wanted to take mine off to find a tool I dropped, couldn't work out how to release it from the wing.

Just painting the bottom lip as I have a line to finish on.
Rattle cans.
Will see what sort of match it is.
Caught the underneath last week on the drive and it's cracked the paint.

Haha must be the week for removing Elgrand bumpers, mine was a b**ch to remove got stuck in the bracket!
Interesting to see your side bumper clips there different to the Series 1 mine are two separate parts!
Also looking at spraying my white one with rattle cans as I have some BIG cracks, so I'll wait to see what results you get bud! :D🤞👍
 
Finally fitted the towbar (that I've owned longer than the van!).
Turns out I didn't need to use the ramps I spent 2 days making...
Got to order a relay then add the electrics.
Will stick up a few pics once I've done this in case it's helpful for anyone attempting similar.
