I've toyed with modifying the Vectra cover to fit a cav, but I don't know, I think it is alot to do with the colour of the Cav, will probably try and source some MK3 Cav stripping for the SRI door look.

You can't go telling me stuff like that without providing an ebay link you wind up :lol:
But seriously, wouldn't mind seeing what they look like, if you get a set Dave, measure them up and I'll see if they can be "convinced" to fit the cavalier doors :mrgreen:

Hey mate, check out my gallery photos, early shots have carbon fibre (vectra ish) pillars, the latest ones (PVS2008) are satin black like off SRi's and CDi's. with window tints they make the car look lower and longer. and a good way of covering up scratchs, I paid £4 for the vynl and a sign writers and stuck it on the night before PVS lol
