    Default The replacement for my Nova

    Didn't intend buying another heavily modified car to replace my Nova but that lasted all of a month or so.

    Had a weekend down Essex way picking up my new car from a little island I never knew existed, Mersea.

    Just totted up the receipts for this thing and it makes my Nova look cheap, car has had one owner from new and the receipts for mods come to more than £25k on top of the £18k purchase price. Couldn't resist buying something that someone else has wasted money on this time so I shouldn't need to do much.

    There are a few things I want to do including putting a standard bonnet on to replace the carbon one and maybe getting the wheels done black but other than that I'm happy with it. I appreciate the kit and spoiler are an acquired taste.















    Power is at the wheels.

    Long drive back today and have realised the car is far too loud, must be getting old. Good fun though.

    That spoiler looks similar to the one I have ordered for the nova

    Nice buy, charger must give it a awesome kick! Not a fan of the kit, like the spoiler tho. Nice brakes too.
