MG/Rover Alloys

Hi Lads,

Just wondered if anyone has ever fitted either the multispoke or BBS style alloys fitted to the ZR's and S's.

I know they're 100x4 PCD and the offset is ET45.

Would these fit 4 stud Cav and has anyone ever tried it?

Cheers

Important - Anyone running a Cav with wheel trims

As above took my standard Vaux wheel trims off yesterday to clean them and noticed they'd cut a big groove in all my tyres about 5mm away from the rim. All i can put it down to is the float in the trim as the wheel rotates - if you catch my drift. I've left them off now as it looked like a prime iss...

Re: Few Scrapyard Cavs Derby area

Sounds good,

Would be good to meet up with a few of you lads.

We'd just have to check before hand that it wouldn't be a wasted trip. Done that before! Went to Loomes and they had 3-4 Sierra's went back a week later and there were none.

Keep me posted.

Re: Few Scrapyard Cavs Derby area

I'll have to try Seatons when im around that way next. Its always good to get a reccomendation as nobody seems to know of any decent scrappoes anymore. I'd agree aswell, i think Loomes prices have shot up abit recently. Also heard of a specific Vaux Breakers in Derby but not sure who or where they a...

Re: Cesaro Wheel nuts

Few Scrapyard Cavs Derby area

Hi, Thought I'd just let anyone from the Derby/Midlands area know theres a few fairly complete Cavs in 'Albert Loomes Breakers' just of the A52 in Derby. I went there today not expecting to find much but found an 1.8LS, 1.7D (Good Spec one) and a Phase one in white with a really decent interior, Das...

Re: Remembering the first Total Vauxhall cover car: Cavalier

It's abit OTT but I think I like it for that reason. I can also apprieciate the man hours which must have gone into it.

Sad that so many of these old Cover cars get broken and not kept.

I think how the bootlid partially covers the rear lights is a nice touch too.

Hi

Hi Chaps, Thought I'd say hi as I'm new on here. I've had my Cav since May but with a house move and Resto on my Saph Cossie getting in the way i've only just got round to paying it some real attention. The car itself is a 2.0 GLSi and is my commuter covering 40mls everyday. So far apart from a fuel...

Cesaro Wheel nuts

Hi Guys, new to the forum.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but could some one tell me if i need different wheel nuts for some Cesaro six spokes ive bought? I currently have a GLS 2.0 with 14inch steelies on but am not sure if the stadard ones will do.

Thanks
Adam
