get that stupid bloody bonnet bra OFF RIGHT NOW!could the paint work still possibly be fresh?:)
agree - remove the boob tube - it doesnt have t1tties!
Also - theyre p1sh - the stones bounce up off it and into your windscreen!
Looks nice though!
where did you get the bonnet bra?

gte grill badge os on there now mate, and it sits on 60mm gmax shocks and springs, altho i think the rear might be a little lower then 60mm. i have a full topend rebuild planned with kent cam pulley and valve springs that i already have waiting to go on!

put the bonnet protector back on! looks ace!!!
where did you get it?:D
Wish my brothers had Novas too :(
I love the GTE, looks well smart :D well done.
those pics are porn - quite literally seeing as it not wearing its bra!
lol
Looks minted matey!
i love the wheels !!! they suit the car perfectly
Good work looks amazing !!!
Looking as good as always dude, although personally I prefer the plate in the middle, and the bonnet bra, just looks weird.
youve left your shammy on ya bonnet
White GTE, absolute sex. I love this car.
Those pics look awesome mate definately like it, but not a fan of the bra as they chaife (sp?) on the paintwork and fcuk it up, a mate of mine has now had hers on her 51 plate golf gttdi for 3 days and there is a scuff line aallll the way across the bonnet, albeit tha cars black so it shows more but one the muck gets into the scratches it will show on white too!

Hate the square fr plate.
I'll forgive you for the bonnet bra as it will come off & is preserving your paint.
Lovely looking car, sits perfect. Get a normal plate in the middle of the bumper though imo!
Keep the bonnet bra on, looks like its being used for its purpose, plus its the first non-euro car I've seen that suits it!
i have them wheels for mine i just need to take mine to the auto spark and then the body shop ive got a mk2 spoiler also did you get your bumpers painted where did you get the black trim from thanks
P.S the one in the pic is my old nova i have a mk1 now

the black on my bumpers is gloss black pained on after the bumpers was painted glacier white same as my car, and i put the little black stripe in the bumper recess bit where its supposed to be. the black part of the tailgate is also done gloss too and makes it look fresh as, wheras its usually matt
You need some euro wheels to pull of the bonnet bra.
Like it bar the black skirts and bottom of bumpers.
