Ive loved my Nova ever since i got it, ive treated her well, but when i bought it, it came with the stupid V-Grille in it. And ive always wanted to get an SR grille and they always seem to go for 50quid on ebay, which i am not paying, but i recently made a payment of £25 inc. postage to get a good condition one (yay) but its been over a week and it hasnt come and he doesnt know where it is :S so now im upset. ugly with it isnt it? (oh and yes the bonnet is an off colour because the **** at the store sold be a 2l can of the wrong paint because he was lazy with his mixing!

Nice SR - the v grill looks like a dodgy tash! Youre right to ditch! I'd just remove it and leave a gaping hole until you get a replacement - if it ever turns up!

Mustard Yellow perchance?

Unforutnatly i went down the route of removing it the first day i got it and unfortuantly all the slates are cut and flap around :( with a big hole. is tempting to have a gaping whole. and its a loverly SR few dents were a bunch of kids kicked it :'( yeh got to love that mustard yellow.

unfortuantly i didnt, i hated the day i walked outside and saw it, i almost died, because its double skinned there behind the petrol cap were it was kicked i cant do much with it at the moment! but i think what caused it was the clifford being to sensitive one day and started croaking at every thing that was within a 50 mile raidas! and they got irratated

theres a special glue gun that you use on body work to pull dents out my mate told me about it the other day have a look into one mate
what they do is stick well enough to the bodywork but not enough to pull the paint off when removed

you wont use the glue gun if its double skinned u need the miracle puller on that but then will require a light skim and paint
