Can I get Turbo bodykit inside a saloon Cav?

Post by humbucker »

Anyone tried fitting bumpers, skirts and spoiler in a saloon cav before? I've bought another Turbo bodykit and ideally want to get it home in one of my Cav saloons if I can...

It's both the bumpers I was concerned about, one yeah fine. But two?! Perhaps I can nestle one inside the other :scratch Maybe they'll stack. Maybe I'm underestimating the size of the Cavalier saloon... or maybe I should stop buying non-hatch non-estate cars!
