I've just had my alloys refurbished, so at the weekend I re-fitted them, and gave the old girl a bit of a clean up....

A few pics... (if some can jig it so that you don't have to click on the links, that would be great!! Thumbs Up!

Is your Father in Law having a bit of a crisis - the GSI's are a nice bit of kit - a bit firm on the cheeks - but a bit of a wolf in sheeps if you ask me .. Cheers Ian.

Thanks for you comments Ian! He's had the GSi from nearly new, and still loves it! He's always had quick Vauxhalls! You're right about it being a bit hard over the bumps though.... he drives it pretty hard, and I have to admit, I do look forward to getting back in the Elite... You'd think I was the older one, wouldn't you!! Roll Eyes

That was to have them acid dipped, bead blasted, powder coated, painted (in original vxl silver) and laquered. The pics don't really do them justice... I'm well pleased!

Very nice indeed Twiglet! Impressed with the engine shot - you've done a cracking job there matey Thumbs Up!

What mileage has your Omega done? It's looking super-clean is that.

Loving your Cav too, especially with those GSi slabs on Wink

Cav's are my first love - my first motor was a Mk3 Cav SRi, with the 2.0 SEH lump in it. Always wanted a GSi (one day... Roll Eyes

), but the SRi cost enough to insure as it was Shocked

She's just clicked over the 100k now. The bodywork is comming up nicely. I started detailing it last year, and hope to have it all finished before Billing this year! Thumbs Up!

I've always been a Cavalier man too. I've had 12 or more now, including SRi's, V6's and a 4x4 Turbo, which can be seen in the following link... Thumbs Up!

Exactly the same problem for me! I do know that vxl make these caps in lots of different lengths though... I remember buying some silver ones for my cav turbo years ago, and the were loads of different lengths to choose from! Undecided

Oooohh, now that Turbo is a minter! Did you ever have any hassle with the TxB at all? That's the only thing that put me off getting one, seeing as a recon TxB was around the £1700 when I was looking at getting one about 5yrs ago... Shocked

In fact, come to think of it... That reg no. seems to ring a bell - has it been in Total Vauxhall at all??
