    I've got the same X82 Vivaro myself, really like those rims and the slight lowering, subtly done, excellent choice. I'd probably go white for the spoiler, it's not something I've considered. I need to tidy up the bodywork before doing too much else, it's a 2015 van that worked in South London for Integral so you can probably guess it's battle- scarred.

    • @DaveRebuilds
      @DaveRebuilds  3 года назад

    • @DaveRebuilds
      @DaveRebuilds  4 года назад +1

      Thanks, I agree, looks way better 👍🏻. I’m going to see how dark the plastics go after some carpro ceramic before I paint them, but I think the general consensus was to go black/trim colour over the white 👍🏻👍🏻

    Amazing what a set of nice wheels can do for a vehicles appearance. They are Calibre Tourers. Did you lose any oil out of the gearbox when you removed the nearside strut?. The driveshaft is only held in place at the gearbox by spring tension from the the hub. Rear spoiler in the same shade as the plastics I reckon. Great vid. (oh, and don't forget to put 5 of your original wheel bolts somewhere in the van just in case you need to put the spare on).

    • @DaveRebuilds
      @DaveRebuilds  4 года назад +1

      Thanks dude, yeah they do make a huge difference to the appearance! Got 5 bolts in the cab just in case 😉, and thankfully I watched a “how to change springs on a vivaro” vid before I did it so knew the driveshaft might decide to do its own thing if I didn’t secure it 😂

    I bought a 2013 Vivaro sportive recently and wondered how you got on with the lowered springs? Is this your only vivaro video?

    • @DaveRebuilds
      @DaveRebuilds  Год назад +1

      The springs were ok to fit actually, a lot easier than I thought they would be, very similar to car suspension! Yeah I think this is the only video on the vivaro as I ended up selling it, but I am looking at buying another one and doing it up like I planned to do on this own! Getting rid of it was a bad move and definitely regret it
