We don't sell vans. We finish them.

Every one leaves our workshop in Bridgend wearing a body kit we designed, on wheels we chose, with an interior we built. Then we find the money, take your old one in, and put it on your drive.

Bridgend. Since 2005.

What are you after?

The Hornet and the Wasp

Blue VW Transporter Hornet build, front three-quarter, black alloys and full body kit

Hornet

The full build. Kit on every panel, lowered, big alloys, leather throughout. The one that gets photographed on site.

Grey Ford Transit Custom Wasp build, front three-quarter, black alloys

Wasp

The same thinking, less of it. Built to work and built to take a knock, and still nothing like the van parked next to it.

Both finished here before they go anywhere. This isn't a dealer ticking boxes on an accessory list.

Three hundred builds. No two the same.

Find the one you'd have had. We'll build you yours.

  2. We value it — the plate, the book price and the damage, all read off your photos.

How it started

First on the Transit Custom.

When Ford brought it out we were the first in the country to customise one — our own body kits, parts made abroad, 18-inch alloys on a van when nobody else was doing it. Thirteen years ago.

500 spoilers.

Nobody thought a Ford van should look sporty. We ordered 500 anyway.

The full timeline
  1. 2005Started, office on a trading estate in Bridgend.
  2. 2007–2010The old Alliance & Leicester bank in the town centre, deals in the window like an estate agent.
  3. 2010Chris Thomas joined.
  4. 2010–2021Waterton Park.
  5. 2011Started customising Ford vans.
  6. 2013The 500 spoilers; first in the UK to customise the Transit Custom.
  7. 2018Peak: 150 new vans a month, 25 salesmen.
  8. 2020Chris made director.
  9. 2021Covid; sold the David Street site, offices to Pencoed, parts and the mobile fitters to a storage unit in Cowbridge.
  10. 2026Gees Yard, Coychurch Road — one place, showroom and offices, vans indoors and dry.

Eleven of us. And two we built ourselves.

Most have been here ten years or more. Everybody does more than their job title says.

The money is the easy part.

Volkswagen Financial Services, Novuna, Motonovo, and a panel behind them. Lease it, finance it, or buy it outright.

Will I be accepted?
