Hmmm, i personally think the grey against that blue/green colour look good. Grey mirrors, door handles and bumpers and skirts FTW IMO!!
Ooo they look nice on there, i did wonder who was having them from dan.
Have you changed the tyres?
Personally i think it'd look better without the splitter, and an unpainted gsi front bumper.
Meh, sprayed the door handles black not long ago :L, think im gunna dig the skirts out, there in need of a respray any idea of a good colour? Also im going to need some new Skirt clips anywhere good to get them?
have you lowered the nova by 40mm?
what i would do is fit some gsi side skirts,
paint bumpers, door handles, side skirts in metalic grey
and colour code door mirror covers
done/sorted

Clips from Vauxhall. I'd leave them grey TBH.

Splitter was done when i first bought it as a budget thing, I have been on the lookout for a painted gsi bumper, let alone an unpainted one!

Ah was gonna say the cav tyres where hugggeee!
Shame i didnt get to see ya nova tho.
Hmm i'm sure someone on here found a brand new one recently. May have been mc.

Yes they were a tad on the large side. Used the dads laguna didnt want to put 150 miles on my clocks lol

Yep, and pussy lol

If i was going to paint the bumpers they'd be Gsi ones..
well yes i have to agree,
thats got to be next on list gsi bumpers :thumb:

;) And color code mirrors, and fit my gsi spoiler
ive got a set of 16" soft stars as my summer wheels and a set of ceseros

Cheers for the comments people. :thumb:

Being that they are only painted why do you have winter wheels?
Im thinking of getting my Cav gsi wheels Professionally polished i no someone who can do them and i have seen his work and its very good, and the price isnt too bad either....
Why not get the cerseros polish, much better looking rim.
Hmmm only just got them, good idea though... :)
I know, cav gsi rims are............ well just poo.
Being that they are only painted why do you have winter wheels?
as my wife know if i see something i want i buy it,
i liked both wheels so i bought both,
the soft stars were brand new, and the ceseroes
i had refurbed so its my way of getting round her!!!!!!
Also Benn can you pm me the price you payed to get your turbo rims done, just to compare where i am thinking of getting mine done.
Hard one, as mine where done for me price, then i re did bits i wasnt happy with..lol but will do.
sounds silly, but paint the screws for the center caps silver
makes a hell of a difference :thumb:
Personally I think it would look alot better with an unpainted gsi front bumper but thats about it

Piffle, cav tyres aren't that big :D
I like that how it is tbh. I reckon a flying chips or cesaro badge on the front wing would look spot on though...

Leave the bumpers grey. That is a nice colour, and the grey against it looks good.
Grey skirts and a GSi boot spoiler, job done!

my thoughts exactly. Keep it different, less is more
colour code the mirrors and gsi spoiler, job done! maybe gsi skirts.

Thats tidy, if it were me as said, lose the spliter, save for a gsi bumper and lose the passenager side mirror or colour code, leave the side skirts off, and a little armoural tyre foam ! LOL It goes to show how good taste is really all you need to make a nova look SUPERB ! Well done! Have you lowered it? If so, how much?
Have got fully adjustable coilys up front and just 60 mm springs on shortaned shocks out back.

Did you have to modify any of the arches so that it didn't rub?
