I live in kettering, northamptonshire and yes you will see lots of american cars in my pics a I run a american / hot rod car club and buy and sell cars from time to time.
I also own a 1988 pontiac bonnevile se but the auto box has lost 2nd and 3rd gear and it is very hard to buy big parts like auto boxes for lhd american cars over here.
I only got the kalos as it was a chevy lol but I like it and its alot cheaper to run than my v6 or v8 cars.
I am a member of a rat look car club ( rat-look.com ) and all my cars end up looking sh:t so now I have owned my kalos for over a year now its time to get it looking better so I am going for the satin black body with gloss black bits here and there.

you guys want the uk front end as you can not get them there so it will make your car stand out from all the other aveo's
so thats why I want a amrican front end so it makes my kalos stand out
there you go thats why lol
the only prob I have with swoping front ends with anyone is that I need to use my car most days so I could not go with out my front end. I would have to do the swop over a weekend and then send my parts over to your side of the pond. if you get me ?
