Thanks. I will pay a thorough visit of shoba in search of hard-to-find parts...
You have done a great job with the console.... that center clock in the console came with the console???
It seems your car is not having original springs... you can buy a set very cheap (depending on availability). I bought a set (4 Springs) 2 years ago for just Rs. 1400. I will ask that shopkeeper when I'll go to shoba.
You can cut your current springs, no harm in it. 1 or 1.5 ring is enough. I have chopped down springs of my Yellow MKII.. I feel the ride has become a bit softer too..
