hello hello
newbie can anyone help

is it possible/practical to make a manual cabrio roof into electric.
does anyone know any sort of price involved.

also
i have to change a front shock for mot so was thinking of lowering the car while im at it.
if i buy some 40mm springs and dampers what else should i do while the units ar off the car (bush wise).
im an old fart and i take my mrs in the car so nothing needs to be harsh or radical

what does 40/60 mean in suspension terms..

does anyone have a nice calypso red boot lid. surrey area.

nice site from what ive seen

also 40/60 means 40mm drop and 60mm drop normally 60 front and 40 rear would make the car sit level
