Nice car mate, i love mk 3 cavs especially the GSi's. Is that a side exit exhaust you have on that?

Looks quite good that I like it :)
Yeah go for broke on the ride height and fix the wheelbase too then you won't be far off.
nice car! Like cavs, like stickers, like BTCC. :)

100% winner for you then lol
Seen the car lots at shows, only think i don't like are the wheels. Find some BBS and you'll be on a winner. Rest looks awesome.
