Those aren't the weaker springs so there is the risk it will crack again.

The reason they crack is springs too tight and then folks slamming the boot when it's under excess tension (so a tech told me) and it makes sense.
Mrs cj has to close the boot with only one finger pressing it down, whereas before the roof could be seen to shoot upwards and rear suspension depress as she drove the lid down like a rugby tackle....lol
Cutting coils off won't help, so either tighten them very lightly, or buy new sprongs for the sake of a few £'s on. £50 part that will otherwise break again.

Those are the correct stock springs but the SIB lists weaker ones - I don't know why the SIB doesn't change the stock ones, seems pretty odd.

The PNs have changed a few times from those listed, but a dealer should be able to track them down.

A previous owner de-badged it, was put back on in the wrong place ....... I like it there so cannot be arsed to move it
Do a quick search, been asked lots of times before and there are a fair few pics of clear on black. Looks much better on facelift. On pre-facelift it goes well with clear indicators but doesn't with orange imo.
I like the red, the light clusters on a facelift look predominantly red too anyway.
Red blends in nicely on black but clear/(white) it stands out a lot and I personally don't find it to be a feature that I want to stand out massively as whilst it's not unattractive it's also not a standout feature.

Cheers Marlon. just need to get the modded rear bumper squared away and quad pipes and I'll be really happy then..
So you're planning quads are you? Are you using the company Jingle used - they did a cracking job on his. It's a mod I'd love to do when funds allow.
