I just ticked over 100k myself last week. Bought it when it was on 95k. Had only a few minor faults so far, Temp Coolant sensor being the biggest tbh.

I was planning on the bumpers and agree the lowering would look good. You think i could achieve a good job with rattle cans on the bumps? Thinking bout removing those the side strips at weekend too! Might be a good start.

I only have about 100 a month to spend so ill see if it can be done on a budget. Trawling through the for sale stuff on a regular basis. :D

You will notice a definate benifit from better suspension.

Not just in Looks, but the handling is transformed.

I remember when I fitted just 40mm lowering springs, they made the car so much nicer to drive.
