Cavalier GLS Smoke Grey 'THE FINIAL UPDATE, so to speak.'

As a few of you guys know I was going to pick up a cavalier and shes now home safe and sound. Its a M reg done just over 90k and is really clean for the age.
just gave her a quick wash not going to polish wax or clay untill a few things have been done.

so far i've just put my battery bag on and swapped the flat wipers over from the corsa.

plans:

gsi kit
fit sri skirts
spoiler
leather seats
nice wheels / 5 stud it

im just going to look after it and keep it clean.

 

[Bradders]

not a corsa gfto. lol

On the other hand :/ not keen on these tbh.. looks like something a grandad would drive! as long as you like it though, and im sure a few light mods might help!

 

[Cookieace]

If they are modded nice they look mint.

you need to gtfo with the crappy jap honda :laugh:

it does look like a old mans car but after a few mods, she should look smart. will be a slow project want to pay off what i owe on stuff and get rid of all the corsa parts... hint hint if anyones after anything!

yeah headlights have been smoked, like the corsa depos. i never really liked them on cavs but its growing on me.

yeah think it might have, looks good

cambelt was done 10k ago, 2008/2009 hasnt been used much since then

 

[Rob]

good-o. looks great.

Friend of mine has a calibra with the same engine and a 4-2-1. Looks awesome and you can feel the difference. I always liked the look of vectra xp alloys on cav's, was on a black one it total vauxhall once.

i do like them, but i think they look to new for this car, if you know what i mean? alm::laugh:

i think the speedlines will look awesome, just need some money for some :shocked:

Not too sure if i like it to be honest, think it will be a car that grows on me once the mods start. modded cavs are very nice.

Yeah i agree, once a few bits start being added / changed will be sweet

That's in very good condition. Shame about the driver's seat - they're usually pretty long lasting. But overall it looks like a well looked after car.

The air hose right by the dipstick - run your fingers along the underside every now and again. They sometimes perish on the underside and you don't see it.

 

[actionman1088]

i love this car :thumbs_up: i fell in love with my dads 8v and it drove like new :driver: until it fell in half alm:yours is in great condition and looks awsom as it is
