Opioions please

[Jim Mcrae]

Right I have had an idea, my nova as it stands looks a bit like this, minus the skirts, it is a mk2 on a K plate

Im now tempted to Mk1 it, as it has and old mk1 boot, i have the wrap around spoiler in the shed and Mk1s are far superior anyway.

Discuss

[rednova]

go for it dont see why you shouldnt - mk1s look ultra cool and retro done right

[Ernie]

is it a mrk1 or a mrk 2.
Which ever it is keep it to it imho.

[Pistol Pete]

...and Mk1s are far superior anyway...

So you'll also be changing the front and rear bumpers, the dash....

Why bother. Leave it as a mk2 IMO.

[Gashgusher]

must say i well pref the mk2, but you could have the styling cues of the mk1. Dont mind the look of them but they just remind me of my mums G reg exploding on the drive thats all lol

[Jim Mcrae]

The dash would be staying lol

[jayme taylor]

1 of my old novas lol

bloody hated the brakes on it !

Leave it as it should be a mk2 imo

[bmw156]

i say mk1 it, am biased tho. and yeh mk1 do look more retro if done right.

and i have never liked the mk2 grill

keep the mk2 as its uber cool

[Lynsey]

I think you should leave it as a mk2. This mk1 phase everyone is going through will pass soon lol

Plus, the added cost of a respray etc you might as well just save yourself the hassle and buy a mk1. Not that it's difficult to convert, just that mk2s are cool in their own way too.

[Southie]

Please keep it mk2 as I am beginning to dislike mine more and more now as mk1 are common as muck, especially with snowploughs. :cry:

[Lynsey]

That's because everyone copied me. Poofs. I have new valance now anyways :D

Mk2s rock anyway, get the styling right and add a few trick parts and you're away.

[Jim Mcrae]

I agree on the snow plough thing

[mowgli]

I voted burgo...

reason is this... why should you mk2 owners keep building mk1 replicas, when the mk1 is superior, & thus you are in fact cheapening the blood line of the mk1........

Handbags at ten paces!

[Jim Mcrae]

Because i plan to rid the world of the Mk2

[muzzy]

Please keep it mk2 as I am beginning to dislike mine more and more now as mk1 are common as muck, especially with snowploughs. :cry:

Thats why i got rid of my snowplough bumper, used to be a stand out thing and now everyone does it!

IMO if its a mk2 keep it mk2, i just think it looks weird seeing a K plate as a MK1 or vise versa

[Jack]

Mk2.

[edit] I'm keeping my 'plough til everyone hates them again :D

[nova_saloon]

gotta love mk1's v. retro but all the brackets that hold on side on, on the mk1 bumpers are different to the mk2 so thats gunna be a paint doing that at the back. but do what ever you think looks better.

[Spudly]

Mk2 - I love spudly.




my nova as it stands looks a bit like this, minus the skirts

Ummm jack :roll:



Id definately say keep it mk2 as i think it would look epic badong being a mk1 on a K reg, the same way as i dont think A-H reg novas with mk2 kit look right either!

[Jack]

Hush, thats our secret love lol

Keep it Mk2.

[Jim Mcrae]

Knew someone would get their knickers in a twist about that lol

[Spudly]

I hate to disappoint lol

[Dod]

Its not a Mk1, so dont make it a Mk1. At a time it was cool to convert your Mk1 to a Mk2, then briefly it was heroc to Mk1 a Mk2 but IMO its a Nova, leave it as it is, but please, loose the Skirts.

[Jim Mcrae]

skirts went ages ago, soon after i bought the car, its an old pic.

[16xe_chris]

I thought we were having a poll about onions when i first read the titlelol

I voted burgo:thumb:

[Sloth]

spud, i had a factory h reg mk2, and a j reg mk1....

[Jack]

spud, i had a factory h reg mk2
H is the crossover so its not uncommon to find both Mk1 and Mk2 on a H plate.

Me & Ash saw a scrapped Mk1 J reg in a local yard a little while ago. Was a 5dr, appeared to have early Mk1 trim as well

[Spudly]

Cant see a J reg mk1 but having said that there are L reg'rs so ya never know and ive also had an H-reg mk2 and know of another local mk2 on an H:thumb:

[dj_wudgey]

mk1 is the way forward matey!!

[novasrikev]

keep it has a mk2 dude

[Spudly]

mk1 is the way forward matey!!


If its already a mk1 then yes it is but if its a mk2 then no its not:roll:
