[mdsprotection]

Hi Just joined and im looing at buying a 2010 fiorino van next week as a project I have some questions;

Hi Mark and welcome,
look in the sections at bottom of homepage for the many threads on "pimped vans"

wheels = AFAIK it's the same 4 x 98mm PCD / bolt pattern as 90% of the FIAT line-up,

Hi Mark,

I put Stilo 'Blades' on my (red) van - had them powder coated in white. 2668Griffin has the same on his but get slightly higher than the lowest profiles as the roads are quite uncomfortable with short side-walls.

The alloys I got off ebay for about £150 and the finishing and coating was £55 per wheel. Tyres I bought from Black Circles (also on ebay) and they deliver very quickly. Good firm to deal with.

Hope you like your van! VED is a pain at £225 when it's the near identical spec to the Qubo and same engine/outputs etc. means it's £20 but the Govt works in mysterious ways - FOR INSTANCE why did diesel during the week move to the same price as petrol and now it's cheaper! What is going on? (111.9p round here now)

Best not to ask eh..

Thanks for the replies chaps,
Im still struggling to find how I can lower the van. Just want springs if it uses them all round?

Hi
We have hit a brick wall with lowering springs, but i think it's been confirmed that they are the same as the Vauxhall corsa d as are a few other parts.
saying that i have seen these vans lowered.................

It's based on the Grande Punto/Corsa would any of these fit?

 

[Gorman]

So has anyone here gone and stuck a set of corsa springs on their Fiorino/Qubo?

If so, has anyone got any pictures because I can seem to find any.

Can't really think why you'd want to meself.. It's hardly the hottest vehicle to make into a HotRod - Stilo alloys (or other after market ones), colour coding bumpers and mirror caps.. that makes a good visual difference whilst retaining a driveable vehicle that doesn't hit speed humps etc.

Somewhere on here was a pic of that weird Cube van/mpv thing (Nissan?) and someone had put skirts on it and lowered it almost to the floor - it looked even more ridiculous than ex-factory and must have grounded on pretty much everything with the pothole ridden roads in GB!

Id just prefer it to be lowered a little is all. 30mm all round would do me.

Hi
I agree with R-V-M, Get some 17's on it, and leave the springs alone.

Why wouldn't you want to lower it? They look much better lower! Corsa D coilovers 100% fit the front. Rear setup still a little unknown. For now I cut 1.5 coils off my springs but this isn't ideal. Looking to get some custom springs and shocks made up.

That looks sweet ! Are those mini cooper alloys ?

 

[nigel8]

Just carry a load of decorating kit and some paint, that will lower it a bit!!

 

[Calasp]

Look so much better lowered the standard arch gap is huge and when you add 17"s it looks like a monster truck
This is the look in going for with my Nemo

Or something like this
