Shame there's no shield for the intercooler. I'd have put in a fine mesh in the bumper just to keep larger stones/debris from damaging it. Looks good though.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

thats some intercooler Mark. and i like the way the oil coolers have been fitted, a really nice cav turbo. Ads
Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
Thanks mate. Yeah the intercooler is a bit of a beast lol. I was thinking about re-fitting the fogs until I realised that they are removed for the oil-cooler cooling.Ads wrote:thats some intercooler Mark. and i like the way the oil coolers have been fitted, a really nice cav turbo. Ads

Are they custom intake ducts in the fog lamp recesses or am I imagining that?

Front end getting there now I think it looks better with the facelift badged grill + more of the intercooler on show.

looks well Mark, but i think it needs peice of mesh in front of the intercooler, preferebly black, but the cav looks really good, keep up the good work. wish i had the time or inclination to do some work on mine, i navnt even seen it in weeks, and its only in the garage outside, Ads
Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
I know what you are saying, but I am not a fan of mesh as it gets stone chipped and shows silver metal through it. I need to have a think what I can do, as I love the intercooler on display.Ads wrote:looks well Mark, but i think it needs peice of mesh in front of the intercooler, preferebly black, but the cav looks really good, keep up the good work. wish i had the time or inclination to do some work on mine, i navnt even seen it in weeks, and its only in the garage outside, Ads
I know what you mean about having inspiration I had totally lost all inspiration with the Astra, but I cannot wait to work on the Cavalier at the weekend

Good work Mark, but that reg plate is a shocker!

The personal plate or the position?

The position. Looking at it against the rows of the intercooler it looks like it's on the piss.
Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
I had spotted that when I mounted it, but it is square with the top of the bumper so I need to see what I can do as it might leave a gap at one end of the number plate compared to the other... Bit of a strange one, but I ran out of time yesterday to play about.humbucker wrote:The position. Looking at it against the rows of the intercooler it looks like it's on the piss.
Suggestions on other positions?

What about the square license plates that you see on some big mouth bumpers? I know it doesn't look symmetrical but at least the intercooler will be on display.

Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
Re-did the mounts on the front bumper as the number plate wasn't quite sitting level when you looked at it compared to the intercooler even though it was square to the top of the bumper. Looks better anyway.

Also fitted a Turbo back panel and pressed plate. Ran out of time to de-tango the lights though.

Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
I didn't spot it before, but have you Photoshopped your reg plate? Looks like you've erased the character between 3 and R. Is that so that we can work out what it's supposed to say?! #thickos
Re: Markb's 94 Polar Sea Blue Cavalier 4x4 Turbo WIP
Yeah I have Photoshopped a number out so that people do not know the actual registration number, but it is close enough in the pictures to know what it says in real lifeMaracus wrote:What's that spoiler off mate?? Looks a bit rover coupe-ish???
