Bertha's first Modification

I'm saving up some money for the first major purchase for Bertha.  The first thing I intend to do is get her lowered by 40mm.  I have done some research and discovered that either H+R springs or Eibach are the way to go.  I've also taken some advice and am planning to run T28 springs rather than T30.  This should give a slightly softer ride and possibly will make the vehicle sit a fraction lower.

The handling and look of the vehicle should improve BUT the main thing for me is getting the vehicle into the car lift.... yes.... car lift!  I have an underground car park and the height of it is about 1995mm...  Bertha is about 1990mm as standard.  Call me chicken but I don't to risk it until she is well lower than the roof!  I have lined it up and wow is it close!

Oh, one other thing, I have fitted some wheel trims which I sprayed black.  I do intend on eventually replacing the wheels with 19" black alloys.  These will suffice for now.
