what colour you having it fella? just an idea and somthing different, why not the top of the arches a different colour...to make the arches look even wider :)

flashbang
27-02-07, 09:19 PM
yeah like all car white on arch tops black

Jack
27-02-07, 09:22 PM
No, if you want to make the arches look wider you should put a lighter colour on the arch tops.

Not my cup of tea tbh but fair play for the effort! What size wheels are those?

sri_boi
27-02-07, 09:22 PM
exactly...also the other way round....and maybe flip paint of the main body colour in the arches aswell...or keep it blocky... :)

i think the arch tops would look good in a slightly lighter version of the original colour too, not my kind of nova but it looks good from the side, no offence but i bet it looks like a shed at the front and back

imo the sideskirts are to small compared to the the rest of the car. still looks fat though.

Personally, I'm more fond of the 'standard' or 'sleeper' type look, but that thing is f*cking beastly. Kind of ott, but at the same time really appealing. Hands down to you for work put into it, look forward to seeing the finished product.:thumb:

Bet it won't be speedbump friendly though, lol.

Not my sort of thing mate, but its looking great!

Quality of the door card / speaker pods looks excellent!

Top marks!

13-07-07, 05:51 PM
Again not my sort of thing but i must agree it looks gd for a kitted nova just keep it looking like a nova

EdnovaScooby
15-07-07, 06:18 PM
Wow I love it already!
Is it me or do nova's seem to just bounce back a never die????
My local cruise in MK for example, they just keep popping up, new a different cars. This makes me think that there is a revival I don't know about??

Hay but then it is us older chaps that seem to be driving them too! I now wonder thats it's because we can't be ****d to learn new tricks! I know most of my newer rides get played with by mates and worringly their younger!

Food for thought???? or ???

how hard is it to put the wide arch kit on? or is it more the time?

15-07-07, 08:35 PM
how hard is it to put the wide arch kit on? or is it more the time?

not actually that hard really apart from gettin the door to shut wen the skirt has been fitted needs a bit of cuting and moulding for it to clear. but over all its fair time consuming to get perfect but you know what they say its all in the preparation

novait
15-07-07, 08:41 PM

knukkles
16-07-07, 11:04 PM
all the gray vinyl that is on the dash is gonna be retrimmed its gonna be hard to do to get it right but its got to be done

knukkles
