Re: new cavalier sri

Gorgeous Cav you have, m8. Congratulations

About the wheels, how about some BBS-style rims for it? Should look very interesting m8.

Keep it up

GSI boot panel on Hatchback

Hello girls and guys, I've been offered the chance to buy the rear ckusters and the boot panel between them, all from a GSI and fit into my Cav. My questions are: - The rear clusters fit without any problems or do they need some rework on the trim to fit? - The boot panel, does it fit perfectly or d...

Re: Madhaggis 92 SRi 16v

May be it's too late but i'll try anyway: how did you put the GSI panel on the Hatchback? It's because i'm thinking of doing the same to my SRI Cav Hatch.

Apart of that, it was (or is) a nice Cav

Re: New Cav here

Cheers for the comments guys. I've met a store in ebay (thanks Envoy CDX) that has those panels cheap and i think i'm gonna buy those panels from there. Otherwise, there's more to do but it'll take time to do it. By the way, plans for the car are the following: - Check humidity in the driver footwel...

Re: Cavyman130's SRi Replacement

Nice replacement you get m8.

Keep up the subtle mods on this white one as good as you've done on the blue one (which i loved and...it had the same reg of mine - J :D ).

I'll work on mine to look so gorgeous as yours white and blue Cav's.

Cheers
