Some of you will have seen the "clubvan estate" topics and the panels we produced to convert a clubman estate / traveller into a mini van look a like. The upper rear quarter of the mini van is no longer available and as such our panels are ideal for anyone looking to repair a mini van which is rotten or has retro fitted windows etc.

Clubvan Estate Conversion
Our fibreglass panels allow you to convert your mini traveller or clubman estate into a mini van look a like. The panels are a genuine replica of the original van panels with the added benefit of fibreglass strength, less flex and ofcourse no rust. These panels are fitted with brackets to help mounting into your mini's window area. Reinforced with metal strips for ultimate strength.

You can see a guide to how we fit these panels using this >>>>> LINK (PDF FILE, 10MB) <<<<<

The price for a pair of panels is £150 inc UK mainland courier delivery. This price is TMF price, as we have had to increase prices when selling via ebay etc due to the fees. Postage is to mainland UK, contact me for postage prices elsewhere. Panels are sent insured for the full amount to protect buyer/seller if damaged or lost by the courier.

To order, please contact me via PM.
Payment via paypal or cheque. Collection welcome subject to arrangement.
Panels are made to order, subject to queue, normally made and dispatched in 7-10days max, we will inform customer when ready to dispatch to arrange best possible delivery dates. Parcel will require signature upon delivery.

Thanks

Heres a recent picture from a customer who as fitted the panels to his rolling project. He said he would send me further pictures in the future as his plans include custom lining the inside, moving the rear seats to increase rear leg room and such. Then its some bodywork and a respray.....sounds interesting.

Shall be ordering a pair of these in the near future for my estate project.

Very good, give me a shout when your ready.

Hopefully be able to advertise a dashboard we've been working on soon.

Next job for me is to make a centre console for my daily driver with cup holders and vents, making the car more practical for modern life.

Improved our packaging for postage and changed our courier to prevent breakages and stuff.

Packaging now consists of the panels mounted inside a wooden frame, bubble wrapped, cardboard and shrink wrapped several times. Havent had a breakage so far using this method, it costs us a little more in postage but worth it as we had a couple of sets damaged in transit.

We have sent these across the world to places including canada, portugal several times and austrilia.

Clubvan estates seem to be growing more popular.

Hi im going to be interested in a pair of these if the estate i'm going to look at tomorrow is any good. Do you need to get the v5 changed because it's technically not an estate anymore and more a van. Also anyone you know of fitted these and then changed to a roundnose aswell so its looks like a proper van? Thanks

[Jordie]

When i spoke to dvla they werent interested and said i could change it by sending v5 back.

I arent sure if anyone as fitted a round nose aswell but cant see why not. Clubman to round nose is a well documented mod.

[bluemini1979]

cool that's good then. Also I bought the estate so will be having some when i've built the savings back up lol. How would I go about ordering them when im ready? Thanks

[Jordie]

Just drop me a PM, then ill send you paypal details for payment, and within under 2 weeks they will be delivered at your door. I always say two weeks because it depends if we have any made. Like this week, we didnt have an order, so we made a set to go on stock then a guy from norway emails up asking for a set but needed them delivered within 5 days so we were lucky we had that set available.

When i built my clubvan (using proper steel panels) i contacted dvla/my insurance regarding the work, and they just said as its a cosmetic mod, not a structural one, and i still have the rear seat fitted, its still an estate and it wont effect anything like V5 or what the vehicle is classed as

[adam5861]

Where do you get the proper steel panels from. Is there a bit of a step up onto the fibreglass ones. Just wondering if they stick out much from the doors or whether they line up well
