Right - being a sort-of old fart, I like things original.

My Cav is a basic LSi, sat on 16 year old springs, so the cav sits lower now than was intended when it left the factory.

With the correct size wheels and a "sensible" amount of lowering, I think Cav's look great.
However I'm not a big fan of super-Phat chromed-up wheels rammed up inside the arches.

But that's me.

Regarding your Cav Gaz... looks good to me.

Who cares about practicality ?- practicality can be boring.

A little experimenting is what makes the site more interesting, especially when it works, and others can appreciate the work.

my opinion, saloons look great low, hatchbacks are best left alone

the heater went cold last Thursday........

i agree, that certain models/ cars look great lowered whilst others dont, within reason, thinks like mk5 escorts should never be lowered,i think some cav hatches can look ok, but again, within reason, salloons look good lowered.
has anyone done a mk3 cav on air?
they should've made an estate. that would look :cool .
