They look good mate

The vent plates we spoke about a month or so back can be bought off here:

They bolt directly on to the underside of the bonnet vents.

Sorry it took so long for me to reply

Don't cut the springs mate, other than it being potentially dangerous the ride will be shit..

Good lad, save up some pennies and keep your eyes peeled for a cheapish second hand set.
