Excuse me miss Poppy,but why would you want to lower your 75? Just as a matter of interest? Oh, & i like that exhaust finishing thingy you have on yours.Did you have to cut the bumper to fit it?

I lowered my first 75. I wanted to make a 75 Sport concept replica. I used PI Springs.

Well. i do like the look of other prestigeous cars... All seem to be lowered....Although i would'nt want to compromise the comfort too much....Just a thought... As for the heat shield... Bought it off ebay and yes, i did have to cut the bumper out.... Not hard really. Poppy
