First Berlingo (MK3) - need upgrades

[sst079]

Hi Berlingo fans!
I`m new to the forum, and glad I found it As a 100% BMW-man, i`m now breaking the tradition and got my first non-BMW in 15 years. Have had the Berlingo for 2 weeks, and is very satisfied with it so far. The car is a white 2010 1,6 75 hp, running on standard 15".

Due to personal preferences, I "need" to do a couple of adjustments to the car, and it would be great to hear other experiences about different setups. First i will do a ecu-remap to make it more drivable. I see you get +/- 100hp after remap. I also feel the car is quite soft and "top heavy" so I`m consider i H&R lowering kit (35mm.)
Last but not least - it would be great to put on some 18" wheels for summer use.

Is there any experience with H&R/18" combination on a MK3 out there? Will the car drive like a matchbox, or will it still be a bit of comfort left??:S

Thanks for any answer!

-Stig

Hello Stig welcome to the forum good to have you with us as finny wrote tuning and styling you will find some are on H&R other's are on C4 Picasso coilovers
but with the C4 coilovers you will need sorter dampers on the rear :thumbsup:

Thanks to both of you
Thought I had read most in styling/tuning, but after a closer look I found a lot of interesting threads.
Looking forward to personalize my Berlingo :thumbsup:
