Started working on the 110 today to get it crossed over to commercial tax, by my calculations i need a 1260mm deep load space, so i went about it, but after doing half the work today, went and measured the space again, 1120mm deep.... thinking of just chancing it and bringing it in to see if i get away with it at that, if not ill change it and bring it back I should also point out, im using chip board temporarily to just get it re registered, will be using marine ply and carpeting it as soon as its on the road

Give the wood a couple of coats of steel drum (that's the name of the colour) paint. It makes it look much tidier.

Crown Non Drip Gloss Paint - Steel Drum - 750ml from Homebase.co.uk

I rekon that you'll find black is too dark in the actual cab area.

true, what with the outside being matte black aswell, might be overkill

Excuse my ignorance but what is the benefit of having it registered as commercial tax? Is it cheaper?

Any drawbacks going commercial, ie places you can't drive/park, special license required or otherwise?
