Plans are!!!!!!!!!

Get GTE Front and Rear Bumpers
Get arches back to standard (removal of the little fake vent things), debadge it, possibly de-wiper, get some softstar alloys. Either standar rear lights or spray these myself just to soften the whiteness of them lol :cool:
Then before fitting the softstars, have them powdercoated white, and the car sprayed metallic or gloss black - and i mean BLACK lol.

What you lot think?

bought the nova for ?2180
has a mk2 astra gte engine - 2 litre 8v, full gte suspension lowered 60 mil, front upper strut brace, fresh cambelt 10k ago, flushed engine with 14500 miles on it. TSW alloys, kenwood headunit with full new speakers, sub and amp, irmscher front quad grill and all that malarky - i dont think its too steep! No rust anywhere apart from just a lil bit under the bonnet that i'll sand down and hammerite black so it doesnt look silly just having one blob of black.

Some people say it was a bit steep of a price to pay but it is a minter with full alarm, immobiliser and delocked handles so meh! Im think of it as an advanced base to start on :P haha!

Is running aparantly at 133bhp at the moment. Going to get a viper or bmc carbon induction kit but as im new to the astra gte engine - any ways i can squeeze more power out of it and where can i find things to buy as ive looked but cant find anything!!!!!! Pics will be slapped on here saturday after ive picked it up tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
