    Default Do all mk2 novas have rear speaker wiring

    Evening all, not long got a new nova and it is a 'Baghdad' spec 1.2 expression.

    Was wondering if these models had wiring avaliable for rear speakers, before i start taking the trim apart and running wires, also is the wiring present for the cigarette lighter?

    Thanks Scott

    Not 100% but the expression did not have as standard
    Rear parcel shelf supports
    So no rear speakers so can't see them adding wiring

    Depends if it was the same loom fitted in every model
    Electric windows had a separate loom added

    Cheers lads, yeah i had a quick poke about and coudn't see anything. Bit of a difference from my last gsi which had all the gadgets, although on the upside this one has a floor in it, which was is nice.

    Aye the fag lighter should be taped up somewhere in the area of the heaterbox behind the dash, and no if its poverty spec then it wont have the wiring for rear speakers!

    My mk2 spin didnt have and rear wiring, it didnt even have a parcel shelf nor supports for one!

    I'm lucky enough to have a shelf and supports, so it would appear i have the second worst speced Nova ever made .

    It staggers me how stingy vaux were with the spec of the cars in the 90's. I had a 98 Corsa merit that didn't even have a glovebox lid , are the overall savings worth it?

    i suppose the lack of glovebox lid would save weight
