Bit a bullet and purchased some springs from DPM! Now deciding whether to attempt the install my self or get someone else to do it. I can get it done from around £25 per hour. That doesn't include wheel alignment though!

ETA is 1-5 days. So hopefully in the week. Ive never attempted any thing like it before. I don't own a pair of axle stands, nor a spring compressor. So I can imagine it could get complicated.
I've looked at a rough guide. One bit I'm confused about though is how to get to the front strut. Can't figure out how the plastic drain comes off from under the wind screen!

Springs arrived today in all their glory! Trying to arrange a date to get them installed! Pretty excited!
Sure was! Just bought me a load more new goodies to! A full over haul of new bulbs! The only bulb I didn't buy was a boot bulb. Because it stated 44mm, I wanted one to match the other festoon upfront. So I may see if the 42mm fits. If it does then I shall order another.
I purchased all new front bulbs, all interior, silvatec side repeaters and front and rear chrome indicators.

Nice one, its surprising how much the silvatec bulbs improve the front. I haven't done the back ones, to me I can't really notice the orange. Haven't done any interior, would love to get footwell but thats too complicated for me lol.
Have you thought about spacers after you've put the springs on or keeping them as standard?

I used to want footwell lights in my old car! Underseat lights could look good! Definitely thought about spacers. Considering wider alloys instead though. I will have to measure once the springs have settled! Next mod I'm hoping for will be boc headlights then a custom exhaust 
unless I make my mind up on alloys!
unless I make my mind up on alloys!Totally forgot about that mod with the lights, its on my list but forgot about it as I've got something that needs doing but its taking forever getting it done. Mine have to look for someone else to do it as my boyfriends brother isn't 100% reliable.
Would love a custom exhaust to give a bit of a purr to the car. Should look sweet though when yours is done!

Make sure you get some pics up when you do! Yeah I hope! Pondering on a mid exit or a double exit. 1 tail pipe either side. Like the Clio sport.
From then the plan will be to go all out on a double din unit and either 1 or 2 under seat subs.

And heres my collection to install tomorrow!
I got a 3rd set of 501 side lights for the number plate light. But I also have Canbus LED's for the interior lights. I will decide which I like better. I'll try and get a comparison tomorrow!
