PVS2009!!!

Ive not got even close to what i wanted to get to before PV but made a good go 2day what with the weather being so good.

In Between putting tent up and sorting out the kids fights Ive been trying to get a bit closer to the vision i have in my head.

I would like to just say a very big THANK YOU!!!to my old man because without him i wouldn't have even come close to were the cav is at present.(Not that he will be able to see this as even tho he doesn't look like hes 63 his computer skills are definitely giving it away. lol

LAST UPDATE BEFORE PVS

Thought would start with this one and see if anyone spots the tweeks

And i know it needsCLEANNING!!

I do like that, love the choice of putting the headunit in the lower section!

Other than the mats, i do think that is spot on, i cant fault it.

massively impressed with this! Didn't think I would be as I'm not one for big obvious mods, but hats off mate that does look special.

Could this be the most modified cav on this forum?

When I first seen the car i honestly thought it would be an epic fail but the more i look at it the better it looks, but imho you should remove the chrome strips and side strips.. And have front fogs.

But great work tho

Thanx mate.
kept the chrome strip on the rub strip so it ties in with the alloys and so is in keeping with the whole look of the car both in/out and under the bonnet. And i do have front fogs lol just the fogs sit recessed back on the gsi bumper they don't sit flush hence the mesh. Unless some one has a really good set of clear glasses tubby fogs cheap the mesh is staying lol
