Re: Rolling Road Day

I think the general idea for this is to have an all mk3 Cavalier turn out to promote the forum in Total Vauxhall - get some publicity and hopefully some new members.
:mrgreen:

Could someone confirm this for me?

Other than the lacquer youve got everything
Both the touchup kits came with lacquer thankfully :)

Inner doors will be best for concealment I think - will ponder and review :idea:

Re: why do you own a cav?

Hmm, good question. I think its because of all the other cars I've owned, the Cavalier has a certain appeal and character that suits my nature, it looks like a car should in my opinion, not boxy and not as curvey as the pie ladie in number 4 round square street. Bought my first cav for £50 - little ...

It's either piddling it down or so hot the G3 is reduced to powder in seconds. I have a p...

Re: expleetive deleted SCUM!!!

Its an easy fix if your prepared to put the graft in you need to get the colour into the scratch but not to the surface, use a tiny art brush give it time to flash off (an hour should be enough) then fill it with lacquer to just above the surface. dont overdo it as you'll only have to take it off G...

Re: What can i do next to my Cav

Well, you could go the HIDS route, but aye they are expensive. However if your lights are dull I found when I replaced my headlights with new lamps (full units cost me about £22 each) with the halfords ultra bright bulbs (12.99 buy one get one free) and it transformed the drive at nice, looks better...

Re: whining noise and not from passenger seat :)

If its coming through the speakers, could it be related to alternator?
I'm assuming you've turned the radio off to see if the noise is still there?

Is it a high pitched sound or just a buzzing whinning sounds?
