I had joined the local transporter group for my area HULL TR4NSPORTER5 and met some really interesting people,one of these was a bit of a fanatic ( he owns 6 T4's and a T5) anyway he is also a window fitter by trade so the obvious thing to do was to ask him to fit some for me - £390 supplied and fitted and i was a happy bunny. A trip to Dalby forest because i love the place and one to Ikea to check out cupboards
