Got some springs for 30 quid so i though, why not! 35 mm spax
Before
after
a mate who helped fit them had his old bumper in his garage, he said i could have it so thought, why not again! 
phase 2 pug bumper with splitter. Just needs painting. 
to paint it can i wet and dry it down and spray over the red or do i have to primer it again? if so what colour primer do i use?

Dont putting a Phase 2 bumper on a Phase 1 306 leave a gap around the grill as you look down on it cos the bumper is more rounded. I got a phase 1 and want a phase 3 bumper (same profile as phase2) but i gotta get headlights, slam panel, bonnet, grill and bumper and still bodge the wings to make it perfect.
You lowered the rear?

No not going quite that low, his is 80mm on front 100 on the back! Nice car though.
Jammo, yeah, mine will be bad to do, there seem to be always knackered bolts etc when i do anything, if its too knackered I'll do to srapers for a new axle and do it that way.

the guy who owns the red car in the pic did his and knows how to do it. Cheers for the offer on the guides though, i've got 4 good guides on it already, it's not so much the actual process more of the seized/knackered/ rusted things that are likely to hamper the job!  Or me dropping bits in the engine and snapping tools like when we did the front.

only thing i can say to you for advice is take the dust caps off the torsion bar and spray loads of wd40 in it, then leave for a few days and let it soak in and work, then when you come to do the torsion bar they pull out really easily
