Wow loads of comments!  Thanks everyone!
Just a few answers...
Business is going nicely thanks - built up a lot of regular customers which has helped me along so far. Just starting to generate a few new ones too though which is good. Site stays busy all year round which is cool.
Speak to JonnyJ re. price for a logo - I'm sure he can sort you out a deal 
Gareth - Shut up!   Yeh may be easier just to pop over at some point maybe? Suspension wont get changed atm - no need to I don't think. Got to keep the weight down anyway with alloys now lol.
And yes the Dodo logo isn't great - a lot of people keep asking me what the first bit says. Good thing is that the people who know what it is are impressed by it, so it'll stay on the van for the moment
Black bits would look good painted, but they'd chip too easily and end up looking wank. Black Wow lasts a good month or so on them anyway - even when cleaned a few times a week 
Got a couple more cosmetic tweaks up my sleeve for it, but they can wait for the moment!!

Not a fan of the wheels but like the design. I always found the 75 version to have big turbo lag compared to the Belingo.
Never caused me any problems and i spent 9 hours in one at one point.

Valet Magic was around first, but he now uses an adaptation of an Aston Martin logo rather than that (his van's changed a fair bit since that pic on his site)
Not driven a Berlingo personally, but been in one, and the Berlingo seemed slower than this is Caddy's though... well, that's on my next van list

Thanks all. Yeh Robbie's van is bloody quick - not sure I trust the LM reps on his van though with the weight he carries!
Gareth - Yup ok mate And no don't think I have - there's quite a few tidy vans around here now though!
Random Dav - Thanks mate - yeh it's not too bad ta. Always room for improvement though!

I used to have a Caddy as a work horse, i thought it was Shit, and very loud for a brand new van. Ive now got a Vivaro Sportive, IMO its a far better van.

Very well built yet pretty easy to pull apart
Does the job alright - just could do with being a tad bigger to fit a genny in a lot easier than it will be when I do get one in this!
Will clean it up next week properly if I get the time and get some decent pics Took me fooking ages to get rid of all the traces of the 3 coats of Collinite I'd built up on it!
