were did you get the front bumper from ??
why its just a standard gsi one which i cut the hole out of with me dremmel there the nuts
Thay seem to look ok, i drilled a small hole in opposite sides on the top mounts (where the spring seat sits against) then 2 in the spring seat, this meant i was able to tie the spring to the spring seat and the top mount, so when the car was jacked up the spring stayed attatched to the top of the shock and not dropped down and loose like yours is in the pic.Quote:
