  • I'm in love with this ID Buzz, but haters are going to hate as they always do. Using it and driving it daily is an absolute pleasure, it just needs some modifications to make it look a little more pleasing on the eye (not that it was bad before to be fair)
    In this episode we cover, lowering (not enough) grill colour change, Alpine audio install with dodo sound deadening and top half body wrap.
    Thank you to Sunil for the sub build, video of this can be found here:- • ID Buzz Audio Upgrade ...
    Big thank you to Steve at Paintworx in Loughborough, for painting the badges and grills.
    Can't wait to get started on the next stage... Solow air suspension, Navis custom forged wheels, body styling and interior seat trim.
    Please do hit that like button, it really means a lot.
    As alway's, thanks for watching :)

    You have done an excellent job with this, it looks fantastic. I’m only disappointed with VW’s execution of the van. The underlying technology was obsolete before the Buzz made it off the drawing board, VW have moved at a glacial pace with this product. This is so sad because there is so much love and good will for their historical products. I have no doubt if this van had a real world range of 300 miles in all conditions, over the air updates and a GUI that worked as it should there would be plenty of love for the Buzz. VW signed a deal this week with Chinese Auto companies Xpang and Saic for over €700,000,000 for the Chinese to supply and build power trains, batteries and software for VW & Audi to rebadge as their own vehicles. With Croatian company Rimac Automobile providing the batteries, power trains and software for the Porsche EVs VW’s surrender is complete. I wonder what will happen with the next generation of vans?

    Like the colour you picked looks much nicer now….From the front it is one ugly duckling, but the side and rear view is actually not bad looking. Like the plans you guys have for it, if there’s anyone to develop parts for it, it’s you guys. Will watch what you do to it with interest and maybe my mind will change, but for now, they’re not for me…..I was toying with buying one but the whole electric thing and the cute and cuddly look of the Buzz is a bit twee for my taste….. it’s just not as tough and menacing looking as a Transporter done right. Nice work though fellas! 🫡👍

      The cargos seem great value to me. Do you still get the £5k government grant? The springs only gave a 30mm drop. Our Eibach / Solow collaboration will be lower and our coilovers lower again. I'd really like a black cargo myself. Maybe the next one.

      @@THQAutomotive we were the same and my wife hung on to her Yaris but after traveling all at oh no Scottish highlands with the two dogs in my EV, a 2020 Ioniq electric that’s max range is only 190 miles and gets this easy in summer, or much more, and 160 in summer, she had a drive in it and when home went straight into nearest VW and tested the ID3. She’s got the 58kw battery and has a 1hr motorway commute to work in Motherwell from Kinross and manages easily, gets the predicted 260mile range. We both charge at home and mostly from our solar and battery storage so drive for free mostly, on sunshine. It’s great always having a ‘full tank’ every morning!!

We’ve don’t the NC500 with ease, Heart200, NE250. And each week there’s more, many more chargers added.
