  I’ve recently bought myself a new Olloclip 3-in-1 for my iPhone 5c. You may remember back last year I wrote a review for my 4s Olloclip, I thought it was a great, simple, easy way to get really cool photos on your iphone.

Personally I much prefer it on the interior than the…

Changing The Sliding Rail on a VW T4

  I’ve been trying to make my VW T4 look as mean as possible by blackening everything chrome or clear. So far I’ve debadged the grill and tinted the lights and removed and painted the rear badges and as you can see it’s working, as my van looks almost as mean as a bloomin’ tank!   Since day one, the chrome sliding rail has always drawn my eye and now amongst tinted windows, black side bars and black alloys it’s…
