Im after a bit of advise on suspension. I have had a good search and found some info but not sure which way to go.

I have been offered a set TA Techniks for a good price. I only want to lower the car 20mm or so was looking at a set of springs.

Does anyone know what the std height of the TA would be fitted.
I will be keeping the stock rims on the car.

Great looking Bora

The TA, can get the car over 100mm off the ground, and a fair bit lower.
If you are only looking for 20mm go for a cup kit.
Keep in mind the car may be sitting a touch lower than when it was new already. So a 30mm or 60/40 cup kit might be the better option.

Thanks for the info on the suspension dylan8.

So the woodgrain effect has last a whole 3 weeks. Spent last night apply some 3M 4D Carbon Vinyl to the cluster display. Pretty happy how it looks. Not to cheap like a lot of fake carbon vinyls.

Was never a big fan of carbon stick on stuff but after seeing this I'm sold. That looks amazing.

I just have to work out how to remove the lid on the drink holder and the ashtray lid.

Not sure on how to remove that lid as such, but if you open your drink holder there's retainer clips on either end. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove those retaining clips and pull that out. Might give you a little room to work and / or find a way to remove that lid.

It moves pretty freely, could be just to small plastic pins at either end??? Flex the middle a little and gently wedge the pins out.... That's a guess of course...

[selexon]

A quick youtube search and found out how to remove the cup holder. Easy enough to do. Looks almost half decent now.

Just the ashtray lid and door inserts to do.

Think I will have to get the heatgun out on the door inserta and not just rely on the sun to heat the glue up so they are easy to peel off. Opps [emoji19]

Is that the knob and boot? If so, damn that's cheap.
