Front And Rear Light Grills

[myke]

I have seen a Multispace with front and rear light protectors, rather like some of the 4x4 boys use, fitted. My Citroen dealer says they are not listed so they must be after-market manufactured. Does anyone know who makes them?

I have seen them on the Peugeot Partner equivalent, so try your Peugeot dealer.

They're standard on the Pug Partner Escapade.

 

Beware though! The Partner's rear light lenses are held on with an extra nut (presumably because they're soooooo much better than the Berlingo) so the rear grilles may not fit without a bit of modification.

 

As for the front, why fit something that will reduce the light output of the crap Berlingo headlights even further?

Your wife drives like mine then :ph34r:

How can the light from the headlights be so crap on the Berlingo, they are bigger than the size of Scotland :ph34r:

Ha ha!!

 

Yes, but there's hardly any reflector above the bulb, so the dipped beam has no reflective surface to project with. All that reflector around and below the bulb is irrelevant. Also because the headlamp is above and behind the bumper, there's a huge shadow immediately in front of the car.

 

The best headlights are circular.

Thanks Tronboy, point taken,you can tell I'm not an expert :ph34r:

At £70 plus each for the front grills from Peugeot and near on £60 each for the rears, plus the dreaded VAT of course, I have understandably shelved that idea. However the Peugeot parts man did suggest that I slope out at the dead of night armed with a battery drill. I wonder what for?

Perhaps an opening for an after market manufacturer somewhere?

[Terry1100]

Which means that even if you did shell just over £150 some other b*****d with a 12v screwdriver could nick them pretty easily.

 

I would have thought that if you wanted to go un-noticed a somewhat quieter manual screwdriver would be the preferred option.

 

Unless I missed the point and you actually have to drill them off - in which case, I'll get me coat.

[myke]

No, thats £70 and £60 each unit, not each pair, plus VAT meaning a tad off £300 for the lot!!! Whilst I like my Berlingo that is a step too far to justify to 'er indoors for what is basically cosmetic. That kind of price is why we are buying so much stuff from China these days and unfortunately a lot of it is good.

[Terry1100]

Why would anyone buy just one side :huh:

 

(Unless it was to replace the one that some b*****d nicked with his electric screwdriver - cos someone else had nicked his when they saw the price...etc)

[tronboy]

Why would anyone buy just one side :lol:

 

Because they're not available as an accessory pack. That's the bodyshop repair price to supply an accident damaged car..... In other words, the reason why we're charged so much on our insurance premiums!

Hi,

Have you tried http://www.eurocarparts.com/ ?....They can supply lots of Berlingo and Partner parts at lower prices than Citroen/Peugeot ask!

Woth ringing them if they don't display the required part on the web page.

Cheerz. :blink:
