Looks great!

Are you going to fit the front bumpers too or leave it as it is?

[roliroller]

I´ve still got a few problems to solve...

Looking good!

Looking good, a shame you have to use those number plate holders. Are you going with a single wiper blade?

What are the problems you need to solve?

[roliroller]

Thanks for your compliments.

I used the number blate holders only for testing reason. I have two made of steel and crome for official use.

@manifold: I would like to fit the front bumpers but i don´t have them. My car came without them. Do you know where I could get a pair of these?

@Stuart: My MIdas is much too high on the backend. the springs and dampers which are now fitted seem to be build for the Mini. (full extended length of the dampfer between mountin points about 380mm, Diameter of the spring 1.9inch) .
I don´t know which dampers and which springs give a better riding heigth. I did read the tread about MK1 Springs and Dampers but I don´t know if these would also fit the MK2? Do you know which Dampers and springs are the best for MK2s?

I use a single windcreen wiper blade at the moment and I´m looking for a fiat 126 wiper arm and wiper plade.

nice greetings Roli

If you're using standard length dampers your best option for going lower is to use a run-flat spring as well, as far as I'm aware mk1's and 2's are exactly the same in that area.

1.9" can be a pain for rubbing on the damper body.

You need something like this or new shorter dampers

[roliroller]

Oh yes this one looks great.

I would be very glad if you could tell me the exact specifications of the damper.

I´d like to know how long the damper has to be (extended length).

The springs spezifications are "I'm going to go for 9" long 120lb 2.25" dia springs with some 2" long 40lb run-flat springs" as you told in the Mk1-Froum??

nice greetings roli

If you're going to buy new dampers PROTECH will let you build almost any size

Rich has bought some for his MK3, they do stem top M27 and M45, I'm not sure what exactly that relates to though.

I've got some shorter AVO dampers on my MK2 with I now believe are 100lb springs, that gives a sporty ride with little banging on full extension, If I was to do it again I'd go with a slighty longer damper and a run-flat spring as well.
