Lower it 100mm? Will need coilovers for that on the rear at least.
Looks nice, love white cars.

Diamond front seats and door cards and Omega MV6 rear seat.
Exactly the combination I'd like in mine!

I don't think the door cards are Diamond - More Lotus, unless the Omega ones are like that.

It's true they dont look like Diamond on closer inspection but after that it's all guess work.
They look the right shape to be Carlton which would make them Lotus but the resolution is a little low for me to be sure.

Diamond seats are around, but expect to pay 150+ for the fronts.

Front seats and door cards are LC back seat not sure could have had a retrim but not LC as they have a split in the middle.
If the front ones are out of a LC they should have a small patch on the outside edge with connolly leather on it.
