Hello There,

Happy New Year.

I sold my car in December and picked up a 2015 L1 Berlingo in Black with 37,000 miles. The van is primarily to help with the restoration of my 180 year old house and also become my daily if/when COVID goes away and the world finds the new normality.

I have bought a set of 19” wheels, hub adaptors and some 20/40 lowering springs that should be fitted next week. I have a few other big plans, some of which I’ve not seen done yet and it’s great to be on here gaining some knowledge.

This is my 3rd French vehicle since owning a 306 XSI then a Saxo VTS as forst and second cars many moons ago.

I’ve tried to post some photos but not sure they’re visible? I’m on an iPhone just now.

Thanks Zion, I see what I didn’t do now, forgot to hit the add to post. Here’s a couple of the autotrader shots, van is clean.

Looks like a cracker mate, well done there. Keep the updates coming.

Looks far too good to use as a builder's wagon... Cool

It’s clean for sure, I’m not a builder, just a mere DIY’r, she’ll be looked after!

Mines used as a car too, never seen a dirty item in it lol. Just more practical than an actual car since me and the missus have no dogs or kids to accommodate. I've put 17s on from the C4 VTR and carpeted the interior, insulated the rear roof and fitted black OEM XTR roof rails, but its ongoing, stopped mostly by the lockdown first time and then work, now winter and lockdown 2.

Plan is to stretch carpet the whole interior, lowering springs (20/40s too) and a remap.

You’ll be a handy guy to know, Zion. Are you in Scotland?

I’ve started a build thread over in the Members Berlingos section: Berlingl0w

I am in Scotland mate. I'm not a youngster any more so I only do what I can manage or can be arsed to on the van. The rest of the jobs go to the garage now lol.

My days of laying under cars are past, it hurts for too long afterwards now.
