Yes the rubber bumpers are going back on, too expensive ATM to fit the chrome ones, nit to mention the sheer amount of angle grinding that would bees to be done at the front just to remove the front bumper mountings!, But the 1275 springs are cheaper than the 1500 items and the rear springs certainly need replacement, when I took them off there was a huge amount of rust between each leaf, in fat the 'straps' that hold them together to the rear of the spring had been split by the rust (although I suppose it could have rotted though and come apart that way!) It would be nice to return the car to the original ride height as well.
If by half wings you mean the repair sections that run about 3 inches above the rear arch and go the whole length of the rear wing then yes that is exactly what I have, IIRC they came from spridgbits in 1992!. Once that is dome I am left with the lower skin of the A post, mostly because I did not repair it very well the first time round!
