drop link's
It would not cause clunking no (worn ARB and droplink bushes could though). Its more something you might notice if you had coilovers and had the car corner weighted. Becuase of weight variations in corners the final result may mean that the car can sit slightly higher/lower in one corner than an other, leaving you with excessive preload on the ARB on one side. You would adjust the droplinks to remove excessive preload on that corner to get the preload equal.

drop link's
Adjustable drop links to not affect the ride height, they are adjustable to correct the angle of the antiroll bar to the chassis after lowering it with lowering springs.

anti-roll bar size
Yes, they are interchangable - the UK Rear bar is a good upgrade for Imports. I would reccomend a set of energy suspension Polyurethane Antiroll bar bushes (they are only available in the 27mm UK size as its same size as the U.S Market TT Bar), and a new set of droplinks and droplink bushes as the old ones are most likely seized and the bushes squished.

Just got my new lights
I dont mind the chrome, but I prefer the standard look and since they are brand new shiney units I voted to leave them alone.

anti-roll bar size
Certainly :) - From one of my previous threads - This is the rear antiroll bar btw. The front is the same on all models, although I have not measured it.

If i fitted white wheels to a red car...
Great wheel choice, get me some too pls :) Im not 100% sure about the white on red, they look best in the 3rd pic...but thats becuase I think they look more silver there. I reckon the bronze would look better.

Bournemouth/Dorset zed specialists?
An MOT is an MOT, no specialist required. If its basic servicing you want then, despite some owners fears it really is no different to any other car. For major work, as as Joel said, Jimmer is ya man, based in Bristol.

oooh nice tidy throttle cover/pulley cover...
That looks like it makes access a lot easier. I would imagine its only secured by the usual throttle cover bolt locations on top.

uh oh.. wheels stick out the arches, what to do?
Yours are sticking out 19mm further than the typical offset reccomended without having to modifiy arches. With a 9.5" wheel the considered optimum offset without having to modifiy arches is +35. You have gone wider and with an offset that sticks them out further too. Without modifying arches a +38 offset would probably be the absolute max on 10" wheel, with a +40 being a safer choice.
