Gaiters are smart they complement the interior well. The SRi skirts on mine had been round the block a bit as well they had been on a blue Cav then a green cav and now on mine. Its a good mod to do it really transforms the side profile.

The cavalier window switches have always done my head in since i have owned one so i had a good old think about it as i didnt want the drivers door lookin naff. also i couldnt put the switch in near the door handle as i have the mirror switch there.
after alot of looking around the scrap yard today i found the solution in vauxhalls baby the tigra..

I got this little lot for the sum of 3 english pounds!!!!:D

Image

and set about cutting holes in my door card and wiring loom..
here are a few pics.
