    Hi,
    We all Have our opinions and I disagrre but thought id see what everyone thinks and let others see how it looks then they can decide if they would want to do the Same.

    Thanks For Your Input though.

    The different colour of the lights and car,will make a huge difference.

    Sorry m8 but your jus asking for cheek and sarky comments WHY??

    1. Lexus lights
    2. Vemons
    3. Fuel cap
    4. YOUR ON MIG AKA "STANDARD IS BEST"

    I learn my lesson with threads like this

    "How can i get my car to spit flames"
    "What do people think of neons"
    "What bonnet vent for my turbo"

    ETC ETC
    My mate reckons e only way at Santa gets all them presents delivered in one night is "cos hes got a 360bhp C20LET nova"
    Thought it might be true untill i remembered it SNOWS at Christmas , "MUST BE STILL IN A CAV"
    4X4 RULES!!!!!

    Sorry but i think you are Wrong.

    Q1. Lexus Lights.
    A1. The look 100 Times better than the Standard Vauxhall Ones.

    Q2. Vemons
    A2. Lmfao I thought they Were Venoms_ They were fitted to the car before i bought the car.

    Q3. Fuel Cap
    A3. It was also Fitted before i bought the Car, and as it is bonded on. i am going to replace it with a Dimma Cap which looks Sweet. and much better than the Plastic Vauxhall one (At least in my opinion that is.)

    4. YOUR ON MIG AKA "STANDARD IS BEST"

    MIG = STANDARD IS BEST?
    How many mig members have a Standard Car Now i ask you to be honest here, and do not forget A standard car will be just as it was the day it came out the factory right down to the Standard radio cassette. The Standard Wheels, The Standard Exhaust.

    The fact is the majority of Mig members have a Mod of one king or another Be it Stereo, Exhaust, Wheels, Superchip, that drilled airbox. That Rear spoiler, that Laguna Splitter. That Bee Sting arial. All ar Modifications From Standard and for anyone to Say otherwise is a Big Lie.

    Their was also a post on Mig just before the Crash asking which is better looking Cav or Cally?
    the Majority said Cav in standard Form but a Kitted Cally beats a Kitted cav any Day.

    There for suggesting that people Like Modified Calibra's.

    On top of that here is a Quote taken from a Post by Mike Warner, Of all People.

    Quote Originally Posted by MikeWarner

    I have a set now and they took about 45 minutes to fit - and that included time to clean and fit perfectly. Once fitted they look better than Lockwood dials during the day. I wanted white dials for ages but I don't like Lockwoods as they can be tatty and they have "Lockwood" written on them. These new dials have no advertising - they even have no claibration number. They are very tidy!

    At night it's another story. These things are seriously impressive. Very clear to read and look way cool. They even dim using the standard dimmer switch.

    Buy some now!
    Obviously with Mods to His car. so this is a contradiction to what you said.

    And wanting your car to Spit Flames Ouch thats Hot.
    I know it is a big no no with Insurance Companies A mate bought a Rs Turbo with a Flamer kit Fitted and called the Insurance Companies in Max etc and they did not want to insure them. Eventually he found one but he was told he Must carry a Fire Extinguisher. But advised that a Fire caused by the device would not be covered.

    Neons they look Great have not fitted the set i bought 12 months ago. after my mate with his Rs got 12 Points and a £300 3 points for each neon he had on. After an apeal he had 9 points removed but still had to pay the fine. Some C**P about red Lights only beig shown from the rear of the car.

    I am looking for a decent Vent right now for the Bonnet of My Calibra Turbo.

    It all helps with keeping down those under Bonnet temperatures. Why Vauxhall Fitted Vents on the Astra Gte and Gsi But not on the Cav/Cally Turbo ill never Know.

    Any way Thanks For your Feedback.

    Erm, not a fan of them in the slightest. But on a silver car they look the best. Ideal colour for them I guess.

    Lowering it is OK as long as you do it properlly, get a camber correction kit from www.cav16.co.uk or www.wallaceperformance.co.uk, cav 16 gives you a good description of why it`s needed and how its fine as long as the camber is sorted!

    im not normally a fan of lexus lights,think they look as if theres too much going on.
    but would say they do suit the colour of your car possibly more than any other ive seen.
