    I'm sure they are oil filled as a I remember searching a few years back and could only get Bilsteins from Germany

    I got a brand new pair of front shocks off eBay for 40quid and I've used mk2 Clio efi rear dampers on the back, combo works a treat.

    Saw your 11 tonight, looks great, goes well too

    Cheers Bud, founf pair of shocks on ebay, oil or gas filled £27 for the pair delivered, think im going to need fronts too.

    Ah right, it doesnt look too bad, must try and pick it up from Mal's now she's been welded. Its all standard so not that quick and ride is slightly shady hence new suspension, better since had another steering rack fitted

    My fronts were oil filled. Dunno what the Clio rear jobs are.

    Apart from the naff looking paint she looks solid enough, Trust me mate, the handling can't be as shady as my 9 was

    Could do with a mop too fella, and there's a few little surface bubbles of rust but nothing serious. Looks tidy though, should b great when it's finished

    Yeah, true to be fair it needs a mop as does the raider, just taking a while to get it sorted as on a bit of a budget and its third on the list after clio cup and raider, should pick 11 up sunday and get it mot'd soon. Hows the 9 bud?
