well! ok its come to a stage now where im getting bored with the nova, recently fitted a walbro, bleed valve and fpr so running 1 bar now, its quick enough for me now a think but im getting bored with how it looks, i drive the car every day so having it looking like a show car isnt really an optionlol i have a new gsi bumper two new wings a bonnet and grill here, so i was thinking of getting a smaller intercooler and redoing the front end, most people hate the intercooler at the mo i love it but it draws abit too much attention! anyways, whats should i do? i was thinking black wheels? or maybe black bumpers and wheels? or go mad and fit a wide arch kit and wide track? im totaly confused to be honest! not driving it much at the mo as driving a minty calibra LE:D which i have total fallen in love with! anyways few piccies for inspiration!
first piccie of the LE!

It doesent look that bad with the big intercooler, Black bumpers and wheels sound good thought.

i love the look. New wheels will always change a car, its like buying a new pair of trainers makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol

Id keep the current look tbh, and wouldn't do the bumpers black. Could maybe try dark/black wheels.
How about a smooth rear wiper, manta mirrors???

I like the car as it sits, I like the wheels too, but if you fancy a change then Compmotive mo's would look good.

You could change the intercooler but it's alot of work to get it hidden. A Frontera one can be made to look subtle?

@keith i was thinking of going for a smaller fmic, like cut out the bit of the gsi bumper and fit it in there, but most let's are done that way thats why i went mad the first timelol wanted something different!

Your Nova looks class as it is m8, I finally got my Nova Turbo back after a year having it done at a Tuning place. Only had it back for 2 weeks now and I noticed it seems a bit twitchy when at high speeds. Do u need an anti-roll bar cos the place I had it done at reckons you dont need one as it eliminates torque steer? Is this right?
