bets on its chrome !

BTW steve did you sort your charging problem ?

I use a sterling battery2battery marine charger in the van with a couple of batteries for the ICE running of an 85amp alternator for 1K ICE, fridge cooler, lights, mains sockets etc. a 120 amp unit should run 2k ICE on a sterling unit, but im upgrading to high efficiency ICE, quad volume on same power.

It throws out the split charge concept of wiring to the alternator and uses "intelligent" charging from your main engine battery. Think it cost 250 and no skimping on the current rating of the cables (so thats another 100). Overall though it saves going overboard on alternators and circuit breakers etc.
.

NOTE: As a scottish dealer for sterling units, I may put on 15% markup, terms and conditions apply.

Engine bay looks stunning! 10/10

Not sure on the wheels though, they might look more at home on a BMW 318i used by a half-cast drug dealer with shaved patterns in his head.
