I got rid of the ST and bought another B9 van, so this is my build thread.
It's a 2017 (66 plate) BlueHDi on 60k miles, very tidy and straight... and plans are:
XTrons Double Din Android head unit (the existing one has no Bluetooth or anything)
Rear-view camera which looks OEM (number plate light replacement unit or 3rd brake light one) - hooked up to the XTrons head unit.
Strip the panelling out of the rear. Clean up and refit with carpet (stretch carpeting the entire rear)
Alloys...not sure what ones yet
XTR front bumper with silver inserts
Roof rails (OEM ones) with Thule crossbars
Anything else I (or you) can think of!

Anyone fitted the XTrons head unit? Looking for thoughts, experiences, tips etc. Did you need a frame kit?

Thanks JJ, nice to be here! I had gotten ear ache from the missus for months about not being able to fit our new (to be collected) kitchen in the ST, and how I "should have kept the van" so I decided to buy another one..best thing I've had - missed it to be honest. New one is sweet, what a smooth quiet engine..loving it all over again.
Oddly the new Van has Cruise Control with Speed Limiter, but not heated mirrors, ESP and ABS but no Bluetooth hands free, no parking sensors, so the XTrons Android head unit and camera will sort a lot of issues.

Thanks Vivian.
This is my 4th Berlingo van in 11 years on the forum, so it's time I got it set up the way I always wanted.
Started off like this in the back:

So..we saw a bit of dirt down the sides of the wooden floor - and thought let's pull up all the wood and clean round the edges...
We filled a carrier bag of dirt! And there has been some kind of oil spilled on the floor which had gotten under the wood. And under the base rubber mat. The whole floor was like this but didn't take a pic till we got this far:
Cleaned up, thanks to help from Missus Zion (2 hours of work to get the dirt & sticky oily deposits etc off) - the rear seal was packed with dirt and is now stretched. Going to replace that.
All stinky wood broken up ready for the tip
Going to order and fit a full floor reinforced carpet inlay for now.

A great team effort by you and Mrs Zion there - the metal floor looks in good condition, but it will be well worth the £31 for the nice carpet floor covering.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks Vivian, yeah it's intended to be a car type van and carpet is the order of the day. The most it will see is a couple of mountain bikes or a flat pack kitchen lol.

Welcome back Zion with your new van! I do not know how I missed this build thread. I am certainly going to follow this.
