Id just go for red, no one will see them down there anyway, and theyre red to show what diameter they are.

If you do paint them moonstone, make sure you put the bands back on so you know which one goes at the front and which at the back Wink

Hey buddy,

How did you find it removing the bars? time consuming?

no it was really easy mate lol , i went to peugeot and bought the estate torsion bars brand new.
i havent touched the beam yet, i think im going to get somebody whos experienced with them, to do it for me, if not i will tackle it myself.

the bars came black, so ive sprayed them red.
with these:

it would probably of been better to have it powdercoated.
