what kind of mods do you have to do to the bumper then?

Well, no other bumper is going to just bolt on.
Will need brackets and stuff made to fit, and if the cars wider than a nova it'll need chopping.

Pointless imo......

Can imagine some bumpers would look quite tasty...think Integrale!

Bit large though I'm thinking.

absolutley any bumper you want will go on, it's just a matter of how much time, skill and patience you have, with many it's not worth the hassle because it'll look awful imo, however it may be worth it with certain bumpers. all personal taste i guess.

I've often wondered what a Nova would look like with 70's style chrome bumpers on

In my eyes the nova, like the 205 GTI does not suit aftermarket bodykits well.

Dont bother wasting your time, the lines of a nova dont need spoiling!

original standard looking novas are the best eg: sr gte gsi dont spoil them with bumpers that dont fit perfect
