  • New Vivaro body lines

    Hoping someone can help.

    Anyone recommend which line to measure off for web address and phone number on a new vivaro.

    We have tried it a few different ways and it doesn’t look straight.

    Photo attached is first try measuring from the ground.

    We then measured from the body line below the web address and the web address looks correct but it makes the phone number look like its running off.

    Starting to feel a bit daft with this one.

    I would measure from the the line level with the bottom of the door – measuring from the ground cannot work because as soon as you add or subtract weight the van would sit differently relative to the ground so if doing a fleet they could all be marginally different. Just my twopenneth.

    The problem with the lines on these new vans is that none of them are straight anymore and no matter how level your text is they don’t look right as your eye is drawn to the lines on the van.
    As with John, i’d try to get a line off the sill

    We always measure from the very bottom of the sill. That’s always straight. It may curve but there will be a straight bit.
    I would also have put the number in the centre of the door.
