The 1.3 is a much better drive than the 1.2 even if it's only 70 bhp.

Also only £100 away from 90 bhp which you can't do with the petrol.

Irmy springs don't affect the ride imo - Fitted mine 18 months back and apart from handling better, the ride quality stayed the same. They'l be available soon

Looks a nice tidy one though

Snds good, how much did you pay for them?
Also is there alot of work in fitting a irmy grill i.e. taking off the bumper etc ?

I paid around £140 for the springs iirc, they retail for over £200. I'll be looking for around £75 delivered for them - done about 5k on them.

Grille is a bit of a pain. You don't have to remove the bumper, but you have to cut the old V grille out of the bumper and bond the Irmy one one! Took about 90mins to do mine with a mate to make sure it was perfect.

You will then want to do the SRi lower grilles too otherwise it doesn't look right! Those you do have to take the bumper off for.

Having said that, now owning a C, you'll get used to taking the bumper off for "simple" things such as changing a headlight bulb I can now do mine in about 5 minutes
