Technical Not quite a fiat
Presumably the hub is universal to the Nemo Bipper and Fiorino etc. so any alloys with a 98 PCD will be good (after market alloys too of course). I put Stilo Blades on my Fiorino so a straight swap (though I had them white powder coated) but don't go for the lowest profile tyres as UK potholes shake your breakfast too much. 45 or 50 would be better for cushioning comfort. Check out the classifieds sales page on here for someone selling a set. I found mine in N London from eBay and a nice chap to deal with..
Slightly off-topic, I went to look at a Citroen Cactus yesterday. Very disappointing to find it's an almost all electronic interior, touch screen stuff and no buttons/switches. Also no 60/40 split rear seat, NO CD PLAYER!!!!! And only one USB socket. Mad. The chap said the average age of the owners was between 24-50 so they tend to use MP3 and phones to get their music. What cobblers. That's the motor manufacturers forcing the users into something they want, not the users. Not very impressed really. Claimed mpg (in the unreal test world) of 61mpg but reviews suggest 'nearly 50mpg' is more the achieved result.
Just a bit of info for potential discussion....

That looks sweet. So did you just put Corsa D lowering springs front and rear on or change shocks as well?
I put on corsa d Lowering springs. the rest is original. I also took away the rubbers That seat inside the spring on the damper preventable That the suspension to bottom out. I'll buy corsa d coilovers and mount the front. These springs Lower 6-7 centimeters forward and almost 10 centimeters back. for Opel springs are very softer than Peugeot.
Hi guys I have recently just lowered my Fiorino, after hours of searching online there was no definitive answer on what parts are used. So with the information I could find I took the plunge and I can now comfirm the correct set up for future reference.
The springs used are Petrol Vauxhall corsa D lowering springs personally I used Apex from euro 40mm drop (for the corsa). Diesel corsa springs can be used they give a more higher ride hight much more useable for day to day use but the rear spring cups have to
Be discarded and you can use the corsa D Rubber cup as both ends of the springs have pig tails. HOPE YOU ARE ALL STILL WITH ME.
Now on to the unknown the rear shocks. I could not find anywhere anything about these only mrgreg suggestion for c4 picasso ones. Well
having access to a scrap yard helped. The Vauxhall Zafira B rear shocks are a direct fit with no modifications and are shorter only thing you have to do is either put two extra spacers on the bottom bolt or use the punto mk2 rear shock bottom bolt as this is the correct length as the bottom of the Zafira shock is slightly narrower. You will also have to remove the rear bump stop and trim part of the plastic cup off not much just to stop the van bottoming out.
Sorry about the length of this but hopes this helps anyone looking to Lower their van.
