hey micky,
yer i know i did cut a bit off, i cant remember which bit, but i cut the corner off i was told to. no, some lil toe-rags decided they would kick my rear light in and scratch the paint work, because i'd caught them trying to steal a neighbours car a few days earlier, but thankfully i caught them in the act.

still, il have it all finished and sorted to totalvaux this year. be good to finally go there, ive missed it last 2 years lol.

hi,
yup defo kahn's, got the kahn logo on centre caps and stamped on the alloys themselves. theres loads of alloys that look like the kahn's, theres masitaly's that look practically the same apart from a slightly diff centre.

these are becoming quite rare the old mk3 pre facelift cav's. i hardly see them on ebay anymore. when i bought mine i had 100's to choose from. now theres about 4 or 5 and the rest are all n-reg 1.8i ls cavs!

also its sad to see the amount of cav gsi's constantly being bought and broken for parts. drive me mad that
