Nice car looks really clean low mileage aswell

[HAIRIBO]

Thats really mint, He's kept it in great nick.

I love the wheels, Are you in North Berrick?

[piercedrab]

im near glasgow mate and yeah he has ocd so teh car got washed 2 times a week and hoovered with a mini elec hoover in the car at all times and polished once a month he alsi didnt have a stereo in it and slightest noise it went to the garage to see what it was it sailed throught 4 mots with the most being a bulb and last mot was 2 front suspension springs but was done on trade via a family freind im just glad i got it and not ended up in some one elses hands the spoiler is a nice touch aswell not seen many cavvys with them on

[HAIRIBO]

The spoiler is rare. Envoycdx has just got one. And A v6 i bought once had one. And think I've seen 2 other cars with it on, So yeah very very rare. But Back in the 90's it would have been quite expensive from the dealer so guess thats why.

Are you going to do anything to it? Or are you keeping it standard, bare the Backbox.

Looks nice and tidy

Super low mileage....only 1/3 of the distance mine has covered.
Just need to sort your little niggles now, ehh

Radio, Aerial and alarm wasn't it? all very easy stuff.

[piercedrab]

that about teh spoiler makes me feel good as i got it for £25 lol and the guy chucked the back box in with it lol bargain for me

[piercedrab]

ok id be best to give some more details on the car

my father bought it 7 years ago it was basic car after a while my curent car was a renault 19 i had it tinted and he liked it si i got his car tinted at awg on south street glasgow
then he had comented about a spoiler so by chance i spoted one for sale on strathycruise and the guy also had an exhaust for a renault 19 bonus so got them for a bargain price of £25

the exhaust didnt fit the renny as it was the wrong phase so it lay in the garage lol the spoiler was white and fairly bashed so sanded it down priner filler and smoothed it out had a look about and couldnt find any pics of a cavvy with the spoiler so had a think and came up with teh idea from my mates old escort using matt black for the spoiler colour so got it sprayed and fitted and got to admit i like it as it follows teh curves of hte bodywork nicley
then he asked if it was possible to get the exhaust fitted by this time i had a custom on the renny so i took teh car and exhaust to c+c in hilington and had them custom the pipes to fit and all new hangers and flanges yesterday i fitted a vibe 8 gauge wiring kit and headunit subs and amp got to admit out of all teh cars ive fitted wiring kits to and theres a fair few the cavvy was the easiest 2 sill pannels in one clip off and on peice and footwell kick bits and geting through the bulk head was easy aswell so cars now banging with tunes lol cant decide what to do next in thinking front grille get one from ebay and debage smotth and mesh it toyuing with the idea of matt black to match the spoiler but cant fully visualise it opinions with this would be nice please

[A-J]

debadge the boot and put it in the weeds, nice and simple

[piercedrab]

ok well i wanted a difrent grille i got a facelift one but it was missing the lower locating bits so had a look about and saw a pre facelift one from the lower spec cavvys and heres the results what do yous think


before



after with new grille



im thinking a set of light brows woudl set it off nicley

[Squig]

I like that... really nice and clean... eyebrows would ruin the stockish look there

[humbucker]

looks great colour coded, not the usual gsi mod. i've got a couple of different grilles for mine (including the turbo one) and i like the idea of a 'different' look... well done

[Robsey]

Yes looks nice....glad to see you haven't gone the Chav route!

Not mad on the brows thing, unless you get them exactly colour coded maybe

[piercedrab]

well sadly the car failed its mot and the subframe is knackered and a few other bits wrong so sadly its off to the scrappy on tueesday

[Martin_TD]

Really :\

You should break it first... o.o

[piercedrab]

i dont have teh space to do that or i would have

[Deeksin]

Very clean mate first time av seen that spoiler

that looks mental!

[Gray16v]

looks kinda old skool

[Stoater85]

loving that grill painted, never seen that approach before....looks superb!!!

[Envoy CDX]

What did it fail on? Subframes knackered? did it rot out or have you hit something with it? They take a fair bit of pounding to be honest.
