Default rubber top shock mounts??? + bumper blanks??

you all know the the ones that hold the shock in normally rubber, is it worth putting poly ones in??? as i am ordering ahmed springs tommorrow so i wanna know while the shocks are out is it worth me changing to these??



also to save me doing another topic in the front bumper there are normally the blanks on the sides to remove for the extra cooling. well when i bought the car these were removed ,but due to me getting myself the uprated coolers i wanted some to refit. went to ford and they were useless lad couldn't find them can anyone help me out there?? i don't want those alloy ones think they look rubbish.

cheers Ad

ill have a pair.

do you have to have them screw blanks too, think they look a bit out of place.... can you just use a normal black screw.?

you cant use a screw as the hole is too big,suppose you could use a nut/bolt though,anymore takers as i would need ten to make it worthwhile?
