    Default 1.3 sr Need a few opinions

    Hi, I bought this last July with 52K on the clock! was really happy with it. Because it is in mint condition (part from the boot and battery tray, But please dont make me go in to that)

    I really need opinions on what to do with it.

    I was thinking of two options. I could take all the decals off and door bumper strips and put gsi sideskirts with gsi front and back bumper and have them all black with either the standard sr spoiler or a gsi one.

    Or.... Keep it all standard as it is and paint the bumpers and decals in a nice black including the spoiler!
    What you think? here are some pictures

    if ur gonna destroy it (GTE/GSi whatever)- then sell it. They are a sort after car.. Ide leave alone -or paint it up so its tidyier. Get rid of those 'fan'blade wheels and the v grille thing..

    Sort your battery tray and boot out..?

    Leave the vinyl on unless its got a load of rust under it that needs sorting. Take that Vauxhall V off the grill, they look crap on nova's. And sort out your battery tray and boot before worrying about anything else.

    Thanks! That deffinatly given me a head up, the V-grill came with the car unfortunatly but i did the alloys, i always thought they were quite tidy on there! What would you say i do with the alloys then? Ive still got the original SR ones but there scratched to ****e and ive put ATE Brakes on there so the now wont fit on!

    Yup, take the grill and throw it at whoever put it on. Leave the car as it is aside from that. Give it a real good clean and fit some GTE Skirts.
    I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    Do not change the colour! Get rid of the grill, wheels arent too bad, better than sticking some shocking aftermarkets ones on with too low an offset.

    nice car
