Lovely but im no fan of the wheels. I like the smoked repeaters, would loose the turbo badge at front and loose the outdated badges on the rear.
Exhaust is a little OTT but it kinda works, im not a fan of std looking cavs, they need 18"s. Just like calibras. The old wheels look nice, and i can appreciate them but would be first thing i changed!

Exhaust and cheap wheels wreck an otherwise nice car.

I don't understand this either  imo they look old, out dated and heavy
I dont get it either
I must have square eyes of something because to me that resembles a skip with a length of 5" Drain pipe sticking out of it

Jambo, you can't put facelift badges onto pre-facelift cars. It's naughty

i dont mind the exhaust? but the wheels......they should never be changed from the original car.
im getting more and more fond of cav's actually. they will all be old and ugly by the time i want one though

I'm not disputing peoples opinions I'm wanting to know why they swoon over the cav

i saw an astra mark 3 gte the other day, surely they're mega rare too?
has anyone ever used the engine, gearbox and 4x4 linkage in any other car? or is it just the engines people use, making the rest of the car redundant?

They look better with 18" technomag jobbies on.
I kind of get it but wouldn't own one.

Very nice, but please remove the wheels, tail pipe and silly ''turbo'' badges, attach them to a long range missile with extra fuel for the journey, and fire it at the sun.
Then put Vauxhall wheels back on and a sensible tailpipe.
