    Default How to improve the looks of my Cav......... (ideas needed)

    With payday looming, im getting an itch to buy shiny bits.

    If this were your car, what would you do with the looks?





    Plans so far are very subtle. -

    Tint rear lamps to 'de-tango' them (Turbo lookalikes)
    Install sidelamps into indicator lenses so they light up with the sidelights
    Also whilst in there i'l remove the orange bulbs for the indicators and swap with silvers.

    Any other ideas?

    Cavalier Turbo leather interior with working heated seats

    Do the wheels in silver,

    Get a late SRi interior & colour code the door handles.

    She's nice otherwise. [edit] The Sri boot lip spoiler would be easy to add aswell. Maybe badge it as an Sri......?

    I'm actually tempted to buy myself a nice Cav SRi 16v if I can find one. I just lost my company car & need a daily hack. Cav's are so tempting as is a Renault 21 turbo...

    I forgot to mention the plans of SRi skirts and spoiler / lip.

    GSi's dont look right in Hatch form.

    Im not sure on CC'd handles either.

    I'l do a shop and see.....

    There is a Red GSi hatch replica local to me, Cav slabs bare metal poilshed. It looks sweet.

    I'd just stay with SRi bits personally.

    Get on german ebay, theres some wicked chin spoilers on there for next to no money. I bought one for mine years ago and the fit was dead on. Never got round to actually having it on. There nearly the same as the Rieger stuff, which are uber cool. GSi/Turbo rep has been flogged to death.
