Post by: Purpleanni on 18 July 2013, 19:21: Yeah I was thinking that, it needs some tweaks to get her back to totally original. I have so much bits or her like a vento front end but I really like the fact she's so original.

Post by: Len on 19 July 2013, 11:06: Please! NOOOOO! not a vento front! :sick:

Turning back into an original Anni will make it more valuable.
Lowering slightly is considered acceptable if done with quality suspension parts.

Post by: Purpleanni on 19 July 2013, 21:59: Don't panic!!!! The vento front end is still in storage! I decided against it after I got her home ad realised she's probably one of the best condition anniversarys I've seen, bodywork wise anyway. The engine seems pretty good too, just some of the electrics need replaced, like window switches and things. My new and genuine parts have arrived so new to get them on. Can't believe how much a rear badge cost me haha!

The badge will be getting moved along with a brand new genuine back badge as the previous owner stuck a horrible silver one on. I'm replacing the fog lights so they match and once I can find an half decent looking car back exhaust it will be getting changed too as the previous owner put a horrible oval letterbox on it.

Yeah has to be my fave Anni colour! It is lowered on coilovers approx 60mm, but looks much lower with the genuine splitter and that pic was taken on an uneven drive. Do you think it's too low?

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 22 July 2013, 07:09: I reckon some wheel spacers to fill arches better are needed when lowered that much.

I am the worst person to ask as mine is at std height!! :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:

but if you find it easy to drive without knocking the floow on everything then it's at a good height :cool:

I also drive a mk4 estate that's ridiculously low, so avoiding bumps, holes and raised tar is a normal day to day drive for me haha! The Anni is nowhere near as low a it so seems to be easier to manoeuvre haha
