Why are there so many breathers coming away from your header? There's only two on mine...

Well I got away from work early, so thought I would do a bit on car!( I say early, but actually mean on time for a change).

Fitted my trip computer!

And my switch

Also fitted my turbo lights

Before and after.

Just need to get my turbo boot panel painted as old one looks appalling next to new lights.

Must admit never read your Wip til today, recognize the car from other sites and pics around the net etc though...

Its a real testament to your hard work, have to say I think it looks amazing.....Keep up the good work!!

That's probably the most amount of visual modifications I've seen on a Cavalier, most of them look spot on :thumb Side repeaters kind of work on that, a nice touch.

First saw your cav a few weeks back, wasn't too sure you were on here. Also wasn't too sure about it when I first saw it, but looks amazing dude, usually prefer close to standard but it looks spot on! :thumb especially the interior and veccy mirrors. Quite a few unique mods, nice work.
