That's Sean Bicknells car. He should be able to get you piccies unless he has stripped them off the car as well!

Basically, remove the ARB, bolt the compression strut brackets to the arb mounting holes in the chassis legs and fix it up to the TCAs???

And get a bladed front arb on order!

dont know which kit...
it just said compression strut kit in some magazine.. it was already over a year ago when i got it.. but not having the freaking manual .. i just had it stored

if i remember correctly i paid something like 200 euros.. so ... approx 130 pounds.. but you should get it cheaper I guess.. it came from England so .. there is some postage in the costs...
