    with the car looking soo so differnet now............wheel choice will be vital wether the whole car works visually or not.

    personally i'm not a fan of kitted cars.....but i doo like this......and all the effort thats went in is second to none imo.

    it'll certainly need 16's or 17's on it.........but im not even sure if the old faithful speedlines would do the car justice.

    i would be going through alot of photoshopped pictures of differnet wheels on the car ....before making any decisions ade

    great work though........i love this thread

    I'd have some new style Vauxhall wheels on there - Astra SXi wheels or Tigra wheels, something like that

    Looks brilliant mate! is it going to be done on the outside by PV show? going to take some doing! it is really coming together now and it looks all connected now if you know what i mean? as for wheels how about the renault wheels which i suggested a few pages back? sprayed anthracite with yellow paintwork would look ace, or sprayed black with white pearl paintwork would also look stunning, they look really modern and would look grate with the rest of the cars looks imo, but it's obviously upto you, glad you have decided on some bigger wheels than 15's though, they would have been swallowed by the car.

    not going to be done by PV and I doubt it'll be done by the end of the year - wife's just been told shes got a new job over the other side of Scotland (Fife way) so we'll probably be moving in the next few months...

    We're currently looking at taking on a renovation project with land and a HUGE barn. there's a garage (of sorts) with a work shop but it's really run down and I wouldnt put anything in it incase it falls down!

    god knows what and where I'm gonna put the nova!

    You have remembered the weight of the engine and gearbox will bring the front down arund 2 inches haven't you?

    I dont think I've ever seen a nova without a twisted/warped boot lid, give it a bit of the old heave-ho, new hinge pins might help a bit too.
