Nice and tidy :)
 
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.
 
Im not too sure now what to do with it. Giving some thought to selling and going for something else entirely..:p

Let me know if anyone might be interested :D
