The diplomat

Post by psl »

Well made a start at smartening the cav up, been a bit unloved of late
Replaced the door rubbing plastics, due to them peeling away, colour coded the door handles and changed the front grill

Looking very nice! How did you get around the door lock being to deep in the vectra colour coded door handle?
On mine I got a back door handle and fitted it to the drivers door, I'm unlocking mine by way of the hatch lock as it opens the central locking, I like the delocked look.

It is slightly recessed but i can live with that, i`ve put a rubber 0 ring in there to give it a slightly more factory look :)
