Hve you put your spot lights back on Steve...? ???

I sourced a set from the UK for my 131 Sport.

I'm 95% sure this is the company I used.

No Kev that's an original photo from when she first arrived, shows the ride height.
Lights are in a box in the garage where they will stay, removed all the wiring yesterday.
I am still looking for a front and rear bumper, Yagmur has them but due to the length the cost of postage is a little prohibitive.
I am hoping the next photo i take will show her at the correct ride height and new bumpers.

I have original springs also

I thought so ;D
Yagmur, can you PM me with cost and postage to Spain.

Steve

Hi Steve,
Same problem...!!!!!!! as bumpers.

Ill have anybodys cut springs  if they don't want them , save  cutting my own cl one's  :)

The cut springs on my car will be coming off next week and standard ride springs bought from Yagmur will be going back on.
Why?
The wheels catch the outer inner wheel arch, and the rear spring rides off its top locating pad every now and then (spring seems to rotate in use) dropping the car another half inch or so.
If you really want to try lowering the car by cutting springs ill have a look at mine when they come off and if OK you can have them for the cost of postage (from Spain) they are not light items.
Ill post on here a couple of photos when they are off.
Photo attached of current ride hight.

looks like you've got banded wheels ,lot wider than normal ones with a deeper dish ?

These wheels are available here in Spain from other models (not banded)

much nicer with the original setup  ;)

Very nice car. One question: why not leave the rear springs like you had them in the first picture? Front looks much better in pic two.

Wheels would catch the outer rear arch over medium size bumps.
Cut springs were giving an awful ride.
