    option 1 for me, i like an uprated OEM type of car only change wot needs to change to make the car handle/perform/look better with still keeping it sort of standard looking to wer it looks similar to another bt has its own twist......cnt do with the fiberglass monsters and chrome wipers an washer jets and daft aeroplane spoilers
    Just bring me Tea & Biscuits an a ciggarette............ nothing more....

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    yeah i think everyone agrees cavys should be left as they are no massive kits nice stuble mods mabe sri gsi or tubby reps

    cavs dont look right with aftermarket kits

    and the usual tweeking under the bonnet

    people on here sell engines from time to time so keep your eyes out. if your not familiar with these engines my advice would be to go with the c20xe before you go into let territory as they can be very difficult sometimes

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    Modified engine but keep the styling standard/subtle

    I just like to tidy up the bodywork make it look respectable. A few tweaks under the bonnet never hurt anyone

    Vectra GSi & GTE 16V

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    It depends on the car I think
    The Vectra was kept standard in terms of power and external looks but has alot of engine bling.
    My GTE when I get one will probably have a few choice power upgrades and suspension work with a few subtle body mods and some decent ICE so a combination of options 1 and 2 for me

    Nova / Fabia vRS

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    First option for me really although I'm impartial to some exterior styling if it has some function, for intance some wide arches to house wide track suspension (i.e. done properly!)

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    It depends on the car. I love standard Cav GSi's and Turbo's as well as Astra MK1 and 2 GTE's, but my cabby just looked crap with 14" wheel trims and sky high suspension, as well as being extremely underpowered with its 1.6 engine.

    I hate Fibreglass, but have gone for nice wheels, colour coding and leather in the styling front, keeping it nice but not lairy. I've saved that bit for the engine...

    Most modern cars all just look the same anyway.

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    i like the idea of moding but not to stupid levels, all of the mods on my car are genuine gm parts ie calibra turbo wheels, cavalier v6 brakes front and rear, cavalier gsi engine, i try to have small touches but not to removed the genuine looks of that car by moding it badly
