Alright Dyso, Cars lookin sweet as. Should look even better with them bonnet struts im sellin' you for a fiver! :thumbs:

hi mate,car looks good

just thought id tell ya.them lights are depo lights with the rings in.if i was you id heat them up,take them apart,take the rings out and make diy depo's

:D

The Cav slab club haha love it :cool:

Yer i have got some new standard lights but i dont have the screws to fit them. As the chav black ones are fitted with nuts and bolts. When i took the old standard ones out iv miss placed the screws :boggle:

Finding it real hard to get any that are the right length and thickness. Anyone have any ideas other than going to a scrappers?

cheers

Love the car mate, welcome to the Cav slab club :lol:

Only things I would change if it were mine would be stock lights and remove stickers :)

And a replacement badge for the front grill.

cheers pal, yer i really like the colour, its taken a while to get the paint looking good but its getting there.
I have forgotten what the paint colour is called? I know its got blue in it.

:cool: looking good, i have the same colour car as you:P

Cheers for the comments, finallygot it lowered.

Well we started yesterday by fitting some springs that charley boy already had fitted on some shocks only to find out they where for a red top conversion. This made the car sit even higher than standard even though they where a 40mm drop, but due to them being stiff, to take the weight of a heavy engine.

Luckly he had another set of normal 40mm springs, so after a trip to buy some spring clamps and re-fitting them to my normal shockers we where done.

Took a few pics today, not the best and i dont think they show how low it actually is. Could also do with a wash lol:

old sprayed lights look a million times better then the chavvy pap

never thought about spacers before, to be honest i am not familar with them. How much would a set come in at?

Yer the wheels look great, cannot take the credit for them tho, the lad i got them off did all the work

that bit of rust on bonnet is the only bit on the car and it does my head in :(

Get some 20mm spacers on those rear wheels so they come out to the arch and that will look :cool:

Don't like Cav GSi wheels but that simple little silver lip makes them look 10x better.

Just needs the rust spot sorting on the bonnet then looks a very clean car

:thumbs:

cheers for all the comments guys, i am taking them all on board and gonna see what i can do

gsi spoiler
lowered

looks good bud, nice clean base

looking good mate .needs standard rear lights Smaller exzorst and a gsi spolier o and lowering .good car though

wheels look fab m8

Wheels look good :)
Standard rears would look better imo.

Loss of the additional stickers in ear windows was also a good step :thumbs:

cheers guys, i dont think she looks in too bad of shape. The only rust, marks it has are on the bonnet as you can see from the pic.

Other than that its spotless

Its looking tidy mate, liking it so far, i think the headlights look good too - subtle and i would keep them

lovin the wheels too.

i reckon carry on with the plans, dw about the headlights they look ok, exhaust looks ok as well, nice wheels.

should of kept the original exhaust that was on it in the first few pic's, looked better imo..


overal, nice effort though, should look better with the standard lights

standard rear lights all the way and get rid of the cheap angel eyes! also like the silver rim on the cavs:thumbs:

Hi peeps, i joined a while ago and added a photo of my car. But, thought i would show what work i have done up to now on a buget (poor student reason why :()

As a 18 year old with his first car i made many mistakes first up was spraying my rear lights.



next up was a rear light swop



Then i visited exhausts UK for a new pipe, some may think its on the large side, but i think its ok ishhh lol



Then a very big mistake! a F5o style bonnet :lol:



I then purchesed my best buy, Cav GSI alloys in gray with a silver lip and i love them :D





They stupid bonnet then went in favour of the origional, wise choice one feels





Well last night i went to a cruise in ponty, so thought i would take some pics of her today this morning while she is clean ish, we went on the motorway in the rain on our way home :(

Cheap fake angel eyes

:o



German style pressed plates



The wheels













cheeky little sticker









My future plans are deffently a 40m drop, and maybe standard lights. What do people think?



Also maybe a black roof and black GSI spoiler. All commets welcome, cheers mark
