DON'T cut the springs! it'll make it very DANGEROUS!

Stick with the standard ones until you can afford shorter ones.

The following is purely my opinion:
remove rubbing strips down side
paint the edge of the grill with chrome paint
lay the wiper down if  you can't afford to loose it completely

save for some springs and roll the arches for a slammed german look  :cool:

The strips down the side are usually just clipped on with little plastic plug type thingys :laugh: Or they are on my mk1 anyway. You can get lowering springs cheap though, ventura ones from ECP are about 50 notes :smiley:
