General How have you upgraded or improved your Doblo?

My van was a poverty spec, bog standard version, no side doors or factory extras. I envy Scott; definitely something to inspire and aspire to.
Great ideas he has given everybody . Here is my effort so far:

  • Colour coded grill
  • Colour coded electric/heated mirrors
  • Electric windows with one touch up and down action
  • Remote central locking, alarm and immobiliser
  • Flip key upgrade
  • Upgraded marker, main and full beam bulbs
  • Philips Silver Vision indicator bulbs (no fried egg look)
  • Front foglights fitted and engine fusebox upgraded to dynamic spec.
  • Interior fusebox upgraded to Dynamic spec.
  • Offside rear fog-light wired in so it works (Two foglights ! Oh the symmetry LOL)
  • Air tone horn
  • Ford Synthetic oil in gear box (very smooth changes)
  • Sahara Roof rails and bars
  • Flettner TCX-2 rotating ventilator (must look after the dogs)
  • Leather front seats
  • Leather gear knob
  • Leather steering wheel cover
  • Leather handbrake lever cover
  • Leather seatbelt socket covers
  • Tailored rubber floor mats
  • Abarth big front brake conversion
  • 17" alloy wheels
  • Blue Spark tuning box
  • K&N Panel filter
  • Heat Shot washer fluid heater
  • Heated washer jets
  • Custom centre console with BMW cup holder assembly, coin wheel and storage box
  • Heko door sun screen /wind deflectors
  • Rigid full cargo bulkhead replaced with MPV half mesh divider option
  • Pioneer DAB Head unit
  • Pioneer x2 6x9 rear speakers
  • Pioneer x2 front speaker upgrade
  • Pioneer x2 front tweeters
  • Pioneer x1 sub woofer
  • DAB powered roof mounted aerial
  • Power & Speaker cables upgraded (Oxygen free, gold plated, blah waffle)
  • Dynamat fitted
  • Glovebox light fitted
  • Front ceiling courtesy light upgraded to Dynamic specification
  • Rear doors plastic interior panels replaced with custom aluminium units
  • Skoda x4 fold down luggage hooks (x2 on roof, x2 rear sides)
  • Fiat contoured mudflaps front and back
 
I'm looking at fitting a fiamma pro 35 to our doblo which has a pop top roof. Any idea which fixing brackets i need thanks
 
Richy, how have you incorporated the Skoda folding hooks in the rear. I have them on my Skoda (great for curry's and shopping bags) and would like to add a pair on my Dobby. Which Skoda did you get them from? You haven't got a piccy by any chance ?
 
I have hybrided my turbo for a larger compressor, deleted the egr system, put a larger intercooler, dpf delete hks evc 6 to controller the boost and tuning. Pushing about 200whp on stock clutch. Only did hid kit for aesthetics. Prefer a sleeper.

Which turbo is that? I have a Fiat Doblo Cargo 2004 and thinking about making it a bit more of a sleeper. Currently just have EGR deleted and a basic remap, and it goes well enough.

It is the stock VL25 turbo but just with a larger compressor wheel. I would recommend sticking with the stock turbine as going bigger will make the boost threshold very high up in the rpm range.
 
I have a 400bhp TDI Skods Fabia so know all about a bit of boost lag LOL. To be honest the van is nice as it is, and with nearly 200k on the clock, loathed to perhaps break it by pushing too much power for it.
 
Mine is pushing over 250k on the clock.....a clutch set, mounts and full fluid change is all i did before modding.
 
On My 2007 1.9 multijet, Mostly I have just replaced the stock numberplate lamps with some LED types, they make a much nicer light :)

I tried a HID kit off ebay but found that the pattern was not very good, so went back to normal lamps till I can discover a kit which works well.

Otherwise its pretty much standard, I would like to get a full stainless exhaust system from cat back installed one day, and replace some of the hoses with stainless steel tube, because some are starting to corrode.

Get a H7C type hid kit. The pattern is a lot better.
