I have a standard grey but it has had two switches drilled in it
Almost forgot this. I bought this a few years back and left it in the back of the garage and then couldn't find it when I needed it. This is the bigger rear anti rollbar as fitted to GTE/GSi models....
Thanks, I know novas are rare now days but I haven't seen another van on the road for at least 10+ years
Looks like Millworm the South East events organiser is sorting a date out unless his busy with the VW boys lol
I went for 195/45 tyres and they fit the arches spot on as she's lowered but not slammed to the floor. I do have the center caps for the wheels but they wouldn't fit on the rear so I used spacers. I...
And nearside:

I stole the cav slabs off the van for my other nova so it was sitting on 14" steels. Now I know its been done thousands of times before but I couldn't resist fitting Speedline Alessios

To have it matching I also fitted smoked side repeaters, again with orange bulbs. Not very exciting but here's a before and after shot

Thanks mate, I might even get round to fitting your single wiper one day!
After fitting I found all the lights show white when you brake, indicate etc so I fitted coloured bulbs to solve it

The van had clear rear lights on but after a lot of searching I tracked down some smoked ones. These are the ones Demon Tweeks used to sell back in the day, not ones that somebody has sprayed...

Got round to changing the cambelt and gave it another full service.
PM'ed you Charlie
I know what you mean but its just really on there for show. The nova never gets driven in the rain. The only time I use the wipers is when I use the screen wash :d
Im sure I have a relay in the garage, il have a look
Anyone know if you can still buy these new? They are listed on their website but I've phoned them like a dozen or so times and the phone just keeps ringing :confused:
Theres still loads I want to do to the van but most of them are cosmetic now. If I don't get it back on the road now I never will so I took it for an MOT. I was expecting it to fail as its been SORN...
A couple of other NOS parts I bought
Boot handle as one on there had been sprayed black and paint was coming off

While I was doing the nearside rear I noticed the rubber exhaust hanger was perishing so I changed all 3 for poly ones

I fitted the front suspension back with new top mounts, support bearings and bump stops

I also wired brushed under the wheel...
The van had been lowered before I bought it (not sure how much, looks about 30mm) I wanted it sitting lower though and the shocks looked old so I bought a Bilstein suspension kit (shocks and...
Started tinkering with this again. Made a shelf up in MDF, glossed it black and fitted it in with blue carpet tiles to match the rest of the back of the van.
