I wonder, has anyone tried to fit pug 306 seats?
They would look plush in the van and since the 306 suspension is a direct fit, maybe the seats are too? The fittings look very similar in the pic for as much as you can tell.
A quote from the bingo wiki:
"The Citroën Berlingo is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle produced by the French manufacturer Citroën since 1996. It was based on the Citroën ZX/Peugeot 306 estate floorpan and mechanicals. "
These badboys are from a 99 meridian, and there are loads on ebay:

Having had 3 306's previous to the van the sports seats they have are great (especially the phase1 D-turbo/XSI seats, or GTI6 seats for leather/alcantara niceness!)
They do fit, but sit far too low IIRC, It could be done if you make up some custom subframes though!

LOL the subframe is just the metal runners on the bottom, doesn't mean the bit inside the seat. it's usually just a few bolts underneath to remove and just fit the bingo runners to the 306 seats - tahdah!

The subframes will swap, but the seats will sit too low.
This has been discussed before, someone was going to try and make new mounts to allow different seats to be used. Don't know if he finished it

well my 04 bingo has big metal box structures the seats are mounted on, the passenger one is a huge storage cabin and the drivers one has the jack, tool kit and handles in it - surely the 306 seats would be pretty normal height when mounted on these? They are pretty high and the seat runners bolt straight onto them.
