Don't lock me up and throw away the key...
...but I have an idea!

 What do you think? Smaller wheels, higher profile tyres with lettering in white? Rear windows panelled off? Anybody wanna photoshop it for me? |

I can't Photoshop and I don't know what Dajiban is but Zafira GSI is a guilty pleasure of mine!

  Dajiban means "Dodge van" and it's a semi-ratty, lowered drift/race van scene in Japan. However, I too have a Zafira GSi/VXR fetishism, and a Dodge van is a bit too large (and rare...) for a daily. Keep it quiet, but I also love Meriva VXRs! They won't suit the shape at all though... |

I love Dajibans and give your idea a wholehearted thumbs up! Needs bronze Watanabe wheels (or maybe BMW mini rims if easier) and a black bonnet, and a retro colour - maybe a Fiat 500 duck-egg blue? Sprinkle in track towing strap, some nice Youga Base stencils as well as Yoko / Advan stencils on the tyres. Quick and dirty Photoshop for proof of concept.  |

T3 suits this look pretty good too. This was my first thought, but perhaps a bit too "vanny" for me. Does look bloody good though! |

sorry but mk4 astra vans already exist. and if its meant to be a drift van how does a fwd vauxhall acheive this? For me, it's a combination of things. I need something easier than the MR2 for parents to get in and out of, and I like the dajiban style. I'm not going to be drifting anyway, but you could always do the pvc pipe thing? I do love a modified van, always have done. Astra, Escorts, Caddys, you name it, but if I lower a saloon or hatchback derived van it'll be as tricky for the olds to get into as the MR2. |

Littlepixel thank you for your photoshops, I clearly forgot to thank you, a combination of an 18hr nightwaking shift and the excitement of replies to my thread!

I actually think it's a great look for any wagons / vans - no nonsense, patina but subtle, and a 'no fuss all business' feel with the big sidewalls and bruiser rims. Here's a Vito. But a Mk 2/3 Astravan would also look great.  |

Vito is absolutely spot on, just noticed your ram badges (on Zafira as well)!
Only issue with Vito is they seem to "patina" themselves very quickly, and in a structural manner!
