Cant make my mind up

Post by carlos_canter »

Recent rummage around a local motor store and stumbled across a genuine dimma fuel flap cover for the cavalier and was priced at £44!

Definatley old shop stock so bit of haggling later and it was mine, nipped out to the scrap yard and got a second hand flap to fit it to as i didnt want to bugger mine up.

But still cant decide wether i like it or not, or if it is to "chav" like, what do you think chaps and chapess'?

There is a bolt not fitted as I removed the raised part of the flap thus creating a hole, so im going to find a suitable washer and nut and fit it that way and may even raise it slightly to help opening.

With a set of motospaort alloys it'll look alright.

A couple of years ago I fitted a Stienmetz one to mine to go with the bodykit. It was only ment to be on for PVS08, but I never got round to refitting the standard one. Now think last time I saw the old one was under the stairs so me where :wall

No problem, all abr 1 dislikes it and that includes me, it went the night after fitting!

May make a coaster out of it!
