Plus, I also have brand new 5mm H&R spacers for the front wheels that were never fitted. I have paperwork for all MOT’s and services carried out during my ownership, plus receipts for personal touches and any maintenance works carried out. 2 original keys. I’ve really looked after this car, and I’ve loved owning it for the past 6 years. If my advert seems a bit wooden and matter of fact, it’s because I’m gutted to be selling it. The time has come for me to drive something I care a lot less about, something I can park anywhere without being anxious the entire time about what might happen to it whilst I’m gone, something a bit more spacious. The reason for sale is genuine, I’m expecting a baby. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please message me. Location: Cornwall Price: £5750

The rear mounting holes on the subframe are also the alignment holes. They are slack on the bolts but there is a recess on the shell that is the same diameter. I've a vague memory that it's a 16mm bore and the bolts are 12mm. You mount the subframe with the front bolts loose and align at the rear, then tighten everything.
