lowering springs and shocks
I've been looking at some of the mods for the bongo and like the idea of lowering for the handling and styling but could you tell me the make/ supplier of these .I know you can buy new standard shocks but if your going to lower it you may as well fit gas shocks.
Have a chat with Tom at http://www.bellhillgarage.co.uk. He imports springs etc. from Japan.

Hope you don't mind me doing this on your behalf Woody - I remembered you had previously posted pics and was very impressed before. Some interior pics would be great though.

Nearly forgot I fitted a towbar at the weekend and added the stainless bumper protector just to give it for a wee bit of bling plus looks better against the silver bumper?
