you just need a flat floor and the windows blanked out.

To register & convert a car (3-door) into a van for our beloved VRT officers :mad:, the following conditions must be met:

No backseat
A metal sheet must be WELDED into the rear of the car for a loading bay. The weld must be visible for inspection.
The rear side glass be replaced with a metal panel

Then you pay €50 vrt and tax it commercially.

Why bother just buy a Focus Van or Other van theres plenty on carzone

50 euro vrt only applies to commercials ,technically car vans are classified as "car derived vans" and the vrt is 13.5% of what THEY think the vehicle is worth... guess its just a way to make more money at the end of the day ....
