Nova GSi ?

[vaughanmc]

Just a wee General question - Not sure if this is the correct place though

Did the Nova GSi's come with a black parcel shelf ?

i dont think so, they came with the same grey carpet

[vaughanmc]

Hmm I have the full Nova GSi interior and put an original Grey parcel shelf in - Looked pants lol

I done the old Wheeler Dealers trick and painted it Matt Black

Looks much better now - Only wanted to see if the originals were black or grey

Mines is a really dark grey

[RSTChris]

my 3 are all black/dark grey

i remember that wheeler dealer trick, well i would i only watched it yesterday.

[vaughanmc]

lol It works well - Done it twice before

My 1st parcel shelf was a Fibre-glass jobby and the paint burned off in the sun light

But my new one is an original so should work better

Cheers Mike and Edd for the tip lol

[NASTYNOVA]

thought it would have gone solid tbh!!

[vaughanmc]

No mines is fine - Still has the standard texture

The 1st one I done turned into something wooden haha it was solid

EG GSI parcel shelf.

Any pics of it beside say a base model shelf to see the colour difference ?

My GSi has a dark gret parcel shelf. There is a light grey shelf for mk2's.

There has never been a factory Nova with black parcel shelf or black carpet.

GSi's use a darker grey than other models.

I first painted a Nova parcel shelf black way back in 1990. It works a treat.

[Ben]

Ive painted more car parcel shelfs than i care to remember! not always black either lol

[NASTYNOVA]

im just makin a wooden one!!

[vaughanmc]

My dad tried to make a wooden one - Said it was a pain in the a*se so he stuck the fibre-glass jobby back in

Got an original now though :D
