I used normal just one can of plastikote, super gloss black but the trick is to wash it with biological washing powder/water mix, then rinse with hot water, then wipe over with thinmers/white spirit let dry then use a heatgun to warm the original vynal overlay so whem you spray the first coat it adheres well, but just apply very very light layers to keep the surface flexible, if it looks wet when spraying, you will be putting too much on at once, just use lots of light coatings, then finish off with some clear coat protector to make it last, beware of plastikote orange tho, its like water when it comes out!

still looks cool, wish i thought of that! Whats it like at night?
i like the new corsa steering wheel they a staright fit?
its ok, but not brilliant, tbh i have white smd led's in the dash which light it up more than the old standard pygmy bulbs, which helps just that little more
lmfao, simply put, NO
it took 3 hours at work whereby i had re-poured baseplate to fill the new wheels spline fixing (as the original spline was too small on the standard rack) then on a 5 axis CNC machine at work to make it fit the original spline, and after spending all that time, a guy at work said "wouldnt it be a shame if the airbag did nothing" so i then spent another 2 weeks of weekends to source and fit an airbag control unit with sensors from a tigra and even made the airbag work, but i highly doubt NCAP will score the nova any higher than normal as a result
edit* im now toying with the idea of fitting pretensioners.... but as the nova is so frigging small and that ive fitted veccy seats, theres no spare room near the buckles/handbrake for them
