Hopefully I get it back from the bodyshop in 2 weeks as promised, as I have got to re-assemble it too and the PVS countdown has started...

The paint work looked top in the pics before. I'm sure it will be beautiful after

Looks OK in the pictures, but pictures hide loads of things...

Should be good after though

[humbucker]

What the hell is that parked up next to it?!

Cheers mate.

Yes it certainly is a quality job and it certainly isn't cheap lol.

[Markb]

Starting to look more like a car 7 litres of paint and 4 coats of lacquer later. This is going to be close...

I have also smoked the headlights and de-tango'd the rear lights while it has been away and not had a lot to do:

Few more subtle bits done.

My Momo steering wheel had yellow Momo logos so I carefully removed the paint and re-did it in Polar Sea Blue lol:

Also got a brand new grill badge and because you can no longer get them from Vauxhall I have cut out a piece of stone chip shield to cover it perfectly (cannot be seen in the picture, but that is the point!) so that I can peel it off when it gets stone chipped and recover it, but keep it mint

Finally managed to get a drivers mirror glass with blind curved blind spot. Look at the old Vauxhall badge on the instructions lol:

Cars looking good. Reminds me of when I resprayed my car. At the time when I did you could still get the badges new from Vauxhall.

That looks awesome, a lot of effort and time has gone into this, well done mate

[Cavalier342]

Looks proper clean mate. I must admit, standard Cavaliers look perfect with black bumper strips but modified ones like yours look awesome with color-coded ones..... That tailpipe is huge also

[Lowrider Dave]

BOOM! Awesome. It shows what time and effort can produce. Congratulations on a superb looking Cav - I didn't recognise it when Dan put a photo of it on FB! That paint looks amazing, you must be very chuffed with it!

Thanks mate I think the effort paid off

Thanks I think the colour coding really works on the car Also it has got a 3" system so it needs a big tail pipe I think it looks awesome though.

Thanks mate I am over the moon with the car. It got so much attention on Sunday

[C4V V6]

Is that dave955's old bonnet and modded turbo boot spoiler? Looks good mate, but then your cars always do.

Not his bonnet as his was bad boy'd, but yes it is his spoiler Thanks mate I am pleased with how she looks

[Markb]

After a lot of messing and modifying I finally got the baby wheel to fit properly as well getting the horn button to fit flush and work

A lot better than the old wheel I think

A few small attention to detail jobs done.

Firstly I went over to my custom exhaust man and had the rear pipe extended by roughly 1.5 / 2CM to bring the tail pipe out out of the bumper as it was sitting too far in

I also dropped my Momo steering wheel off at Classic Car Services to have the inside re-trimmed in perforated blue leather. Will hopefully get it back on Fri at Billing

IMG_4314 by m33rkb, on Flickr

[Markb]

Finally got round to fitting my splitter and I think it finishes the front end off

Also fitted new leather gaitors to match the interior

Along with Cavalier Turbo sill protectors

And finally Cavalier Turbo owner stickers
