I bet y'all thought you were going to see a Porsche or something huh?


Fuck no.. I'm not that baller.


Bought this today. Brand new.. the guy from Mandurah Holden even drove it up to North Perth for us to have a look, thats how keen they were to sell. Cost us fark all brand new, and after we depreciate it through the business and make all relevant deductions, we're talking a car that costs less than $10k brand new at the end of its useful life.

Mods? NFI yet.. maybe some mud flaps and bluetooth.

The load area is 1348mm wide (1107 at the arches), 1787mm long and 913mm high. A quad bike may fit length and width wise, but most are over 1000mm high.

[Fozzy]

mine is also 1350 wide so no good anyway

When does coffee delivery start?

[Joe]

Because fucking RACE VAN. A bit of a joke at the Antilag Time Attack turned into me strapping on a transponder, removing the hubcaps and taking the ol' Combo out on the track!

2 of my flying laps were hampered with me having to yield to faster cars, but the 3rd one was uninterrupted and I managed to squeeze out a 77 second short track. Hit 130km/h at the end of the main straight! Lots of left foot braking kept the understeer at bay. The esses were FUN, I just held it pinned all the way through and hoped for the best. I reckon it had a lot more in it, but thats for another time of course :)

When does coffee delivery start?

A lot quicker now....

[Joe]

So if and when I sell the dak (I have 2 potential buyers on the go currently, fingers crossed one of them comes through!), I'm going to drop roughly $1000 (give or take somewhat) into the Combo. Just to make it a little cooler to drive daily.

1. JVC AVX-77.. Jme has one sitting there waiting for me, I just need to stop procrastinating and grab it :D I'm going to thoroughly enjoy the bluetooth, ipod adaptability and the reverse camera. I need to use a replacement DIN fascia and ISO adaptor loom to plug-and-play it, but I'll sort this out when the time comes. Couple of hundred bucks and its done.

http://reviews.cnet.com/sc/33576581-2-440-BK-4.gif


2. Lowering... not fuckin slammed, but if I knock around 80mm out of it (keeping in mind its a commercial), with heavy duty rear springs to maintain load capacity somewhat, it'll look something like this. It should only cost me about $250 for the springs.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/djdommyp/2252f4ad.jpg


3. Tints.. its only natural that I do this. Should set me back about $250 at the most.


4. Rims. I'll only have around $300 to spend, but I can stretch it slightly if need be (no pun intended). If I use 15" rims, I can use my original Pirelli tyres that came on the car. For my budget, a set of ghetto spec 15" rims off another car that isn't a Combo will suit. I saw one not long ago with a set of Alfa rims on it, looked pimp (Autodelta own it). If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears :D They're gonna be painted black regardless.

[Mad_Aussie]

10,500yen if they sold for 15,000yen put them on a boat (eta 4-8weeks) would cost between $300-$450

there's a set of bmw zender turbo rims in 4x100 on silviawa that are pretty similar to the oz racing ones. with an o.g sticker kit they'd look boss

SO yeah, this is pretty much the look I'm going to try and go for.. "disc" type wheels with flat faces and no spokes.


Ronal Turbo wheels on a Corsa..

VW P slots.. they're not on a Corsa, but you get the idea

Zender turbo..

http://www.wagenwheels.co.uk/car_images/stock102a.jpg

The above ones aren't FWD offset as such, but looking at the guards on my van, they could probably swallow something with at least 2cm lower offset than what I have now, due to the guards being plastic.

[Joe]

Not keen on that.. the style I'm chasing is the flat face type. Heaps of OEM wheels are like that, best example is the VW P Slot wheels.

Thats my best chance of getting rims within my budget, rims such as those Zenders and Ronals are big bucks even in 15x7 size.

OZ wheels look interesting, going to look more into those :)

[Niva]

he still has em, but they are 4x114 sorry mate .

[Joe]

So those Zender Turbos above.. I'm picking them up tomorrow :D

Went around and tried them on.. this is how they look.. keeping in mind that I will be repainting them SILVER, and they will have centre caps fitted.. plus the tyres on them are 205/50s, I will be fitting some 185/60s instead.. so the tyre will not bulge out like in the pics below.

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20Van/IMG_20111110_130935.jpg

They poke HARD, but with lowering and camber, and the narrower tyres stretched on it'll be sweet :)

[Mad_Aussie]

Man, that's a whole bread van full of win.

[Joe]

Oh it will be once its lowered :D

Stock springs out of the same shape Barina will drop the rear 65mm.. if I put some SRi springs in it, it'll go 80mm in the rear.

Fronts, I'll have to use whatever Barina owners use to lower theirs because the struts are the same.. probably some Kings Super Lows.

[AGIT8D]

Fuck yeah VK Calais wheels

[Mad_Aussie]

Fronts, I'll have to use whatever Barina owners use to lower theirs because the struts are the same..

http://www.machsources.com/productimages/6733/angle-grinder.jpg

[Joe]

So I paid Lachlan (Mr Scorpio) a visit at WA Suspensions yesterday. On the cards is:

- Kings Lows in the front to suit XC Barina (same strut)... 30'ish mm drop
- Stock Barina XC springs in the rear.. will drop the Combo approx. 60mm.
- 12mm camber bolts all round

I will install these myself (probably hire out M'Mates Place for a couple of hours I'd say), and then get the alignment done professionally.

The front may not seem low on paper, but a measured 40mm drop would see the guard sitting right on the tyre tread.. its already fairly low in the front and jacked up in the rear as standard! With those bits on the car, it will sit low and level front to back.

Also picked up the rims today.. massive thanks to Brennan (Lamy) for the awesomely ridiculous cheap price on them, an unrestored set goes for anywhere up to $1500 and double that for a brand new set with all hardware. They are a rare and valuable rim!

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20Van/IMG_20111111_120421.jpg

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20Van/IMG_20111111_121426.jpg

... and dropped them off to my mate Peppe at Swan Tyres. For a ridiculously awesome mates rates price, I am getting the rims:

- Old tyres stripped off
- Blasted
- Kerb rash and any other rim damage welded and/or machined where required
- Painted in bright silver (fairly standard silver rim colour, very close to the pic posted above) 2 pack and clear coated, inside and out including the aluminium centre caps
- Tyres fitted and balanced
- New wheel nuts fitted that won't damage the stud holes in the rims.

There really isn't much else I can do to this car without WASTING money, so this will be the extent of it beyond a new head unit and some tints.

Stay tuned, I will post pics as I get them :D

[TJ]

When you said silver, you meant sprayed in black yeah?

[Joe]

No, I mean silver.. these rims only came in white and silver, and I want them to be as original.

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/2/0/4/zenderturbo11.JPG

[yeahlow34]

I reckon keep the centre caps off! Gives me a McChubb.

[Joe]

They do look tough without caps, but they look "finished" with the caps fitted.

The centre caps make up the entire value of the rims as I found out, without the caps they're worthless, and you can't buy them new anymore.. so they're rare as fk.

[Skitzo]

POLISHED

Also, colour code bumpers.

[Mad_Aussie]

Even more reason not to put them on...

[TJ]

LOL original, your modifying a combo, not a fucking concourse 911!

Black, phat tints, black roof by Gav, medium pimping!

[Joe]

No use making them black TJ, you lose the detail in the rim!!!

Leave plastic bumpers, slam it on these rims, black tints, small pimping.

It will definitely be slammed in the rear, if its not low enough in the front, I'll have the springs reset.

That being said, i still want to turn the wheels without the tyres rubbing, so ill have to find that fine line of compromise. :)

good to see youve upgraded from the dak dak and found something less fail to spend money on mods on! already seen more track work too! naize!

definately look better with caps off (maybe sell em) & personally i would have gone a few shades darker with the silver (grey)

wheels are an awesome choice.

[Socrates]

They poke HARD, but with lowering and camber, and the narrower tyres stretched on it'll be sweet :)

Just checking but are you sure the rear end is IRS? As being live axle can cause problems as you would know.
Normally commercials and small FWD's i've seen are live axle rear.

[Miggy]

Fuck yeah VK Calais wheels

LOL they where my thoughts, and a love those rims!

[Joe]

Rear camber shims to space the bottom of the hub away from the beam.. Eibach make them :)

[wormbo2]

^^^truuuth!!???

Willbe looking into that for sure!! Haha
Fuckin jelly as Joe, already looks great with the rims only test fitted.

Definitely gonna follow this breadwagon.

[-Luke-]

I cant for the life of me work out why, but I reckon these things look pretty phuckin cool with the right mods :D

[ALEX.]

Carbon fibre wrap. The. Entire. Car.

[jaybee]

...

really?

[ALEX.]

No.

[Joe]

More..

Appparently there are heaps of people in Europe that do work on these things.. Z20LET motor and matching gearbox from Astra Turbo drops STRAIGHT in on diesel engine/trans mounts!

[Skitzo]

Sooooooo, polished and colour coded bumpers?

[Joe]

I'll look into the bumpers at some stage, but the rims are NOT being polished.. not keen to spend nearly $1000 just on polishing, its super time consuming to get it right due to the design of the rims.

[Skitzo]

What's the issue. It's a business car. Vastese bakery paying for that shit.

[Gleeso]

Definitely gonna follow this breadwagon.

I see what you did there..

Never wanted one of these vans so much in my life. Rims have to have the caps on as well, they just dont look right otherwise.

[Lonewolf]

Not letting you look under the hood of my car. Ever.

[Joe]

Keen2stealmotor :D

So the rims are off to Alliance prior to paint, to get perfectly straightened.. a couple of them are a bit wobbly, which I'm told is not unusual for 25 year old rims. Most people wouldn't bother doing this step, but I certainly will be. No cracks though which is great, and all kerb damage has been repaired already :)

I'm told that a 2 stage process where paint is applied over a powdercoat can be done to ensure a glass smooth wheel finish, which is very important on this style of wheel.. just awaiting some more info back on this before committing though.

This doesnt make sence, they are saying get the wheels powdercoated then rubbed back and painted in 2pac to fill any minor imperfections?

Would achieve same results just spraying wheels in a 2pac high fill primer sanding them smooth then painting in 2pac and whacking a few extra coats of clear over them. IMO spraying 2pac over the powdercoat means you are building on an already very thick paint layer which would result in rounding of edges and loosing some of the finer detail.

[Joe]

Cool.. that's the info I'm after.

I'm just regurgitating what the shop told me, first he'd heard about it too from his painter. But yeah, will not be pulling the trigger on it until I'm very sure of the finish.

[Tocchi]

how much they quote you joe? PM if you wish

[Joe]

SMS sent :D

[RELEASE]

noooooooooooooooooooo not alliance! :(

[S133LTR]

Alliance just did an awsome job for me.. the second time Ive used them and both results have been good.

[Joe]

Not my choice, my mate has an account with them.

Seeing as his shop is doing the rest of the job, I trust that both Alliance's work and his will be spot on :)

[Joe]

I'm actually now re-thinking this whole silver thing and reconsidering black (can hear TJ cheering from here).. its easier, cheaper, will also match my black trim, and black tints when I get them, and it will be easier to keep clean!

Thanks to Tocchi, I've got a colour chart and Dulux Night Sky satin or matte black powdercoat is looking pretty good.

Does anyone have pictures of any items powdercoated in either of those two colours, so I can get an idea of what they look like? Cheers :D

[yeahlow34]

Got my clubsport wheels in the Dulux Matte Black.

On a silver car, I love it! But on a white car, with glossy black tint, I'd maybe recommend a gloss?

[Buckets]

Get Gav to CF wrap them instead? (and do something to the rest of the van, race van needs racing stickers)

[Joe]

I think gloss might be too much, because the rims are a flat surface.

No CF wrap will be seen anywhere on the Combo :D

[skinkis]

Black will eliminate the look of the rim, they´ll look like steelies, don´t do it!
Go silver or white I reckon!

[TJ]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

ps

yessssssssssssssssssssss

[R3N]

silver

my 35R wheels are done in the dulux satin black

[ethand]

Never seen a Combo get so much love, or look as sweet...
Gotta admit I'm with skinkis & your original thoughts on the colour, though... Especially on a car like the Combo where a lot of people have lost the stock hubcaps, they will look like steelies to the average Joe... (geddit?!)
+1 for polished body cladding, too! Seems to be the common theme for all of these pimped up vans (along with lowering & some nice rims, but you've got that sorted already ;) ), and I rate that's what will 'make' the car...
Regardless, I'm sure it'll turn out well, though, and I look forward to seeing the progress :)

just suggestions ...

[Mad_Aussie]

Don't go black Joe.

[Tocchi]

BECAUSE YOU WILL GET SHOT AT

[mr_mike]

Black on a flat tim like that will just look ghetto. White or polished I reckon will look the best.

Matt black on big open wheels looks awesome in white cars IMO but will just look like u cheaper out on these.

[Joe]

Here's a white van with black rims..

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/djdommyp/2252f4ad.jpg

There is a pearlescent silver powdercoat available too which looks very much like anodizing.. might be a goer.

The more I look at it, the better off I think I'm goign to be going powdercoat.. i'll get that smooth look I'm after and the cost is about half!

[ethand]

BECAUSE YOU WILL GET SHOT AT
hahahaha good call

It'd be interesting to see that anodized look-alike...
See, as much as I love black rims (my car also has them), I don't think it's quite right for this style of rim, or the car itself.
I'm a massive fan of the polished ones you posted up, but probably a little too pricey... but just not black!

[esky]

Ford FG dark argent, same colour as daisy's wheels, look so much better then black.

[Token]

very nice, missus wants a car to carry bikes around in.. might have to suggest one of these.

the one a few pages ago with the Bently rims looks mint

[Joe]

The one with Bentley rims is actually a VW Caddy.. that was my other choice when it came to a work vehicle, but was over $10k more than the Combo van!!! I'd prefer the business to keep the change and spend it on something else :P

Thanks for the opinions guys.. it hasn't helped me choose at all :D I have until Thursday to decide, because thats when they're getting done.

Tocchi has brought another colour to my attention, called Dulux Pandemonium Silver.. its a flat light silver pearlescent powdercoat, and apparently it gives an anodized look. It might be a worthy option... it means I revert back to the original plan of silver, but putting a different spin on that by having the pearlescent finish. It also makes the rims look bigger as Tocchi pointed out :D

I'm yet to see a set of rims in that colour but it might be worth giving it a crack.. if I don't like it, I can always re-blast and re-powdercoat another colour I suppose, its not that pricey to do!

[wormbo2]

Put it to vote dude!
I say white, because the walkinshaw lookin style is quote cool actually.
But hey, whatever butters your muffin

[Sfidz]

Don't paint them black because i will get Gav to wrap them in chrome if you paint them black.

[AGIT8D]

[Joe]

THAT is ridiculously bombed!!! You guys are lucky you can use any wheel which fits late model VW. My rim choice is of course limited to 4 stud, but that means I can use any rims which fit early VW's and BMW's and such.. as we know, there are plenty of 13 - 15" wide, low offset wheels available for those vehicles.. in particular, the Zender Turbos I chose :D



LOL I just find it amusing that what is essentially a Barina that delivers bread gets 5000 views and at the moment it is unmodified

I somehow think people are more amused by the fact that I've fired up my essay mode once again.. its been a while.

i will accept your challenge with the Crown one day !

[ethand]

Wow, Josh, that Caddy is pimp! Really nicely done


I have until Thursday to decide, because thats when they're getting done.
So, the moment of truth, what colour did you end up going for?

[Joe]

Dulux Citi Pearl... its a matte silver pearlescent powdercoat :)

Have not seen it on any rims before but as a commercial powdercoating, I quite like the colour and its hard wearing.

If it fails, won't be the end of the world.. simply re-blast and re-coat!

[lysdexia]

good stuff, glad you didn't go with the black

[ethand]

Nice, Sounds like it will look real nice, especially when you see it in the metal... :)
I'm with lysdexia haha :) (made a thousand typo's trying to spell that hahaha)

[WRCjosh]

hahaha they are WOLF copies... one of our supplier does them, 1800+tyres 19x8.5 come with bbs caps :)

front bar is standard vw caddy, we just got it painted

[Joe]

These have been at the powdercoaters since the beginning of the week and I'm told they're now done, and will be collected this arvo.. which means I'll be able to book the car in next week to put the tyres to them and fit them to the car :D

I'll have to sort the suspension out asap, because the lift kit look isn't my favourite..

[Joe]

Rims are done! :)

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/IMAG0258.jpg

[Simon]

Any plans for painting in that urethane bumper?
Would clean up the front end alot.

[mc68]

do these things still have camira motors? :p

[Gleeso]

Just imagined what it would look like, and it gave me a smile. Itll make the rims stand out more like they should.

[Cochee]

Without reading the last 4 pages.

Definitely needs colour coded bumpers, loose the door strip and smaller mirrors.
But definitely like the wheels.

[Joe]

Easier just to fit a Barina bumper..

I am reluctant, because after all, I still need to use it for work... It's gonna run into shit at some point I'm sure, so black plastic is more suitable

[Joe]

do these things still have camira motors? :p

No :P 1.4 twin cam.

[pazza]

mate have you seen the coilover kit on ebay UK?

[Skitzo]

Looks better without the centre caps IMO.

Haha how do you work that out? I use my ute for work too, I don't drive into stuff.. Just don't use it as a bumper car.

[wormbo2]

SRi front bumper= WIIINNNEERRR!! and it's mostly colour coded so it's naice. Trust, will look real good.

[Token]

they look mint

[ADZ]

That colour makes them look like hubcaps.

Needs something to liven them up. Stickers perhaps.

In other news - its going to be your only car. Stop pretending like you're going to leave it alone and just bomb the thing already.

[Lump]

That colour makes them look like hubcaps.

exactly, thats why i rekon GMG would have been better.

looks ok now tho, i wouldnt want to take the look of it too seriously with new bumpers & shit.

[Joe]

Colour looks much better IRL than in the pics.. its pearlescent, which you don't get in the pictures!

Springs are incoming... 30mm drop in the front, 60mm in the rear. I'll grab these next week and will fit them asap :D

[Jumanji]

Sweet saw it yesterday, needs MOAR LOW! lol

and 20% tint on the doors with Limo 5% on the back.

[Tocchi]

sweet ill definitely have to check out these wheels today :)

[Joe]

LOL @ grab springs "next week".. they're still sitting at WA Suspensions almost 3 months later.

I'll attempt to collect them during my 2 weeks annual leave (starting this week) and will get them installed.. I'm tired of staring at the combo in its current lift kit state!

So to my next question.. does anyone know where I can get some white walls, and how much? I'm thinking of those "flappers" which go between the rim and tyre.

[Crispymk2]

Try http://www.antiquetyreswa.com/

Otherwise just eBay or even the rubberized paint from a hardware store

[mr_mike]

flappers can cause alot of dramma joe cos they slip in between the bead of the tyre and the rim. Have heard alot of stories of the white ring slipping out from between the two.
Have also seen pics of tyres where the white ring rubs on the sidewall of the tyre as it buldges at the bottom of the wheels rotation and it actually rubs thru the sidewall.

A mate had a groove cut in his 17's and filled with paint to give white walls the old style. Think it cost about $110 a wheel.

[pazza]

Hey Joe how did you go with the exhaust??

[Mistikal]

MY05 SRi front looks better, but I'm not sure if its full headlight/bonnet/guards swap too... might be, I can't remember.

http://i44.tinypic.com/1ops8y.jpg

[Joe]

Hey Joe how did you go with the exhaust??

Planned on test fitting it when the springs go in (i.e. when the car is on the hoist), obviously that hasn't happened yet :D

[Joe]

Front springs!

Rears I will be collecting tomorrow, as I need to use OEM Barina springs which are at the wreckers

[monk_13]

Joe, I think you need to upgrade your delivery van....

http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Geneva-2012-MTM-T-500-25-TFSI-4motion.jpg


A remarkable car was unveiled at the stand of MTM. The German tuner presented the MTM T 500 2.5 TFSI 4motion ‒ based on a Volkswagen T5 ‒ at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. This powerful edition of the VW Transporter is patriotically colored in reference to the upcoming European Football Championship.
MTM have fitted the 2.5 straight-five TFSI engine as found in the Audi TT RS and RS3 into the engine bay of the Volkswagen. The engine as been upgraded to boost an impressive 472 horsepower and a maximum torque of 625Nm.

Power is transferred to all four wheels via a modified transmission. These tweaks enables the light commercial vehicle or peoples-carrier to hit a top speed of 280km/h, making the VW an ideal van for those in a hurry.
The suspension has been upgraded as well, just like the brakes. For stopping power the MTM T 500 relies on large disc brakes, firmly gripped by two six-piston fixed callipers at the front axle. To complete the overhaul, the VW has been equipped with 9×20 inch MTM Bimoto rims wrapped in 275/35 ZR20 Michelin SuperSport tyres.

Blatantly stolen from HERE (http://www.gtspirit.com/2012/03/07/geneva-2012-mtm-t-500-2-5-tfsi-4motion/)

[Joe]

Got rear springs too now.. Astra G standard height springs (Thanks Steve @ Autopro!).

So on the weekend, after 2 failed attempts at lowering (thought I didn't have the right tools to do it, but I actually did), I finally did it.

Rear:

Very simple.. jack up car, remove wheels, undo top shock bolts, undo brake line brackets, axle drops to the ground and spring falls out. Put new spring in, reverse procedure.

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0511.jpg

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0514-1.jpg

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0516.jpg


Front:

Jack up car, remove wheels, undo top nut on strut, remove 2 bottom bolts, remove swaybar link bolt (link is attached directly to the strut)... the strut drops out. Undo top hat on stock strut (no spring compressors required as there is hardly any tension on the springs when the strut is out), remove old spring, put new one in, and reverse the procedure.. EASY!

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0521.jpg

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0523.jpg

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0526.jpg




DONE.

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0530.jpg

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0528.jpg


It's hard to see, because the plastic wheel arch mouldings blend in with the tyres, but its fairly low.

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr131/balistc/Combo%20lowering/IMAG0536.jpg


Since these photos were taken, the front and rear have both settled a fair bit more, especially the rear... I carried 350kg of crap in the rear today and the tyres scrubbed on the plastic wheelarch mouldings over large bumps.. time for either some camber shims, some narrower tyres, or maybe I'll just cut a sliver of plastic out of each of the mouldings to clear the tyres.

Apart from some camber, that'll do for mods.. just wanted it to look a little nicer and different to a normal small delivery van. If anything else is to be done, its windscreen tint, reverse cam and some sort of CD player upgrade.. but otherwise, finished.

[Joe]

Also, maybe a front swaybar for when I attack the No Limits Delivery Van Cup next :D

[skinkis]

Those wheels are awesome!

[Riggs]

but otherwise, finished.

I'm putting $50 on this statement changing in a month.

[mc68]

http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/9696/bath8889p1385go.jpg

proof those wheels have potential :) combo looks nice Joe

[Joe]

I'm putting $50 on this statement changing in a month.

Cha ching!.. the Combo is being put out to pasture :D

It's not being retired as such, rather, passed on to a staff member to be used to replace our rusty old Ford Transit company van he was driving. As a result, springs will be coming out and stock rims going back on.

What am I using to replace it? Well... the criteria was

- It has to be a van
- It has to be under $25k (which rules out big vans)
- It has to fit a standard pallet in between the wheel arches
- It had to be diesel (because our pallets sometimes weigh 5-600kg)

So the vans that I considered and test drove:

Holden Combo
- Doesn't fit a standard pallet
- Petrol
- No longer being made.. 2012 is the last year, and the 2013 is minimum 9 months away should Holden or Opel actually decide to bring it in to begin with.

Mercedes Citan
- Still a while off (based on the new Fiat Doblo / Opel Combo), will not come in under budget.

Renault Kangoo
- Looks a bit naff
- Only one dealer, so the price blew out above the budget i.e. no campaign or special pricing was extended

Peugeot Partner
- Pricey

VW Caddy
- Apparently would fit a standard pallet
- Good reputation
- Diesel
- Under $25k (there was one for $23,990 drive away available)

Citroen Berlingo
- Identical to Peugeot except for the badges, cost less than the Peugeot.
- Under $25k due to campaign price, and thats for the long wheelbase!!
- Fits a pallet
- Diesel

So I went and test drove a demo Peugeot, hoping it would be under budget. Loved it! Drove like a car, had a strong little turbo diesel in it (although only 215nm, it comes on very early and strongly), and just felt good to be in. Long wheel base fits 2 Australian pallets with 5cm to spare. Had a few options on it, but Peugeot couldn't get it anywhere near my budget. Walked away.

Test drove the Caddy. Has a great reputation, but wasn't anything like the one that Karl had on review last year.. his was optioned up. This one for $23,990 was a 2011 build MY12 model. It had vinyl floor, vinyl seats, no cargo barrier, no rear cargo area mat, etc. Drove it, and it was laggy (as was the throttle, was not as responsive as I'd hoped) and certainly didn't feel like 35nm more than the Peugeot. Felt cheap inside with lots of hard plastics and vinyl everywhere, not even close to my Combo van in regards to how the cabin felt. VERY disappointed. Carpet, mats, cargo barrier, etc, were expensive options. After I was told that it would fit a pallet, we then looked at the specs and worked out it was 25mm too narrow to fit a 1200mm pallet in it.. then I was told it would comfortably fit a Euro pallet. Pass.

So I went to Citroen and looked at the Berlingo. Long wheelbase, same van as the Peugeot with different badges. Although it had less airbags and no ESC compared to the Caddy (a factory option that would take 4-5 months to get here), that was the extent of the shortfalls compared to the Caddy. It felt nice, just like the Peugeot. Has optional reverse sensors, cargo mat, floor mats, extenso seat (3 seater with flip up seats to increase load capacity to 4.1m3), will take pallets, has bluetooth and USB/aux in, the strong turbo diesel exactly the same as the Peugeot, has cruise control and speed limiter, cargo barrier behind the drivers seat, and much more.

And the price? Under budget, PLUS the salesman was happy to do me a further deal (thanks Jarrod!!). Signed contract, done!!!

My Berlingo is 2 weeks away in Melbourne, as the one below that the dealer had on the lot, didn't have reverse sensors. Very stoked, and being a Citroen, there is no way I can actually mod it because good luck finding springs and rims for it.. which suits me fine because I want to keep it stock this time!

So basically, if anyone wants some Zender Turbo rims to fit their E30 BMW, VW Golf Mk1 or anything else with a similar stud pattern, drop me a PM :D

[Mistikal]

Nice pickup! The front looks a bit "happy families" but thats the way most of them are heading these days.

Keeping it stock? HAH. I can envision you putting wheels on it at the very least.

Great idea.. So when I bump the work van into a bollard or wall, it scratches the paint.

Grey bumpers wear a lot better than painted bumpers.

You will probably bump into things more with grey bumpers, because you will have poked your eyes out to avoid the ugly.

I understand its a work hack, but jeez.
