I moded my grill on the 440.

Looks a lot better.

Is a 30mm drop the most you can get from an off the shelf kit?

New grill fitted

With a lower drop than 30mm, tints and exhaust

Before

Grill freshly sprayed

...Very nice...the grill really modernises it.

What did you use on the grill? Did you prime it first?

Bruce_T · Nov 15th, 2007, 20:07

I used plastic primer x 4 coats

Then halfords Matt Black 4 times, I didnt lacquer it as I didnt wasnt a glossy finish.

not bad looks alright love the condition of the bodywork what engine has it got? the thing is with mine it already had a black grill but looked boring so i meshed it myself, and about the springs i have 40mm lowering springs on mine.

Where did you get the 40mm spings?

My ride is quite clunky and bouncing at the moment. I suspect worn bushes and shocks so I would be replacing springs and shocks.

I have the B20F 2.0 engine, in GLT spec.

do you really want 40mm springs because i have no suspension with them on lol but then again i do have 17s. if you wanted i would trade with you my whole suspension if you got me a set on 35mms with shocks.

I will post the pics I've taken of my 1994 480 2.0s when i eventually buy the right USB data cable. Took some when I bought the car to do the before and after effect as it was a pretty poorly puppy when i purchased it. Slowly though it is being restored as you will see in time
