im looking to buy a new car and ive seen a white nova with a wierd black roof.does anyone know why or what it is and how you would make it white again??

[belly257]

spray it white

[1.6 8v turbo nova]

Haha, quality. Has it been sprayed black? or as in black when you leave it stood under a tree for 7 years?

[Ben]

Someone obviously wanted a mini but couldnt afford it so sprayed the roof black.

[Andy]

Thats usually green

[Ben]

Thats usually green

Never seen mini with green contrast roof, loads of black though.

[L14MNP]

[Andy]

if this is the one you are on about it turned me right off it

[walshc]

That would look better if the bumpers, mirrors and rubstrips were the same shade :cool:

Not all roofs are green because theyve been under a tree :p lol
Mines been attacked with the rattle cans of doom :thumb: rattle rides FTW :)

[turbojolt]

still what the hel is it lo

[Spudly]

Looks like a normal nova with a leatherette roof to me, theres a B plate four door round here with one somewhere albeit very very poorly thses days though lol

[SKoob]

could be a new roofskin?

[mikey14sr]

Thats a vinyl roof cover on that autotrader link, it'll be glued on, probably very well too. It'll need warming up with a heat gun and peeling off, then all the glue cleaned off, and probably spraying as those vinyl covers tend to make the metal underneath rust like crazy due to the sweating effect.

[ianb90]

yeah it was that nova on autotrader. how rusty do u reckon it will be and you think it will look alright if i took it off?? cheers

[mayhem]

if its a vinyl cover.. it will be rusty. opel manta's andso had it to, 9 out of 10 arent pretty under it.
