Ah right i thought you ment a proper cossie bumper lol

Well imo the full magnam kit would be best. but what is the car for? Any track days ralling? If so why not go for a proper wide arch kit thats a gsi front and rear bumper. Ive got this kit and it looks awsome!

the nova im hoping to get will be rough riding round the island of corfu next year, so i want to make it have some rally looks with some performance aswell,so what do you suggest, any links to decent looking kits?

One sec il get a link to the one ive got and post pics of the full kit as you get it! Its a better kit aswell because its wide arched the front wings just bolt on and are all fiberglass. Good weight saving :D

ok, the ideal kit for me would not have a front bumper with foglight holes, cuz im going to put a couple of spot lights in the grill
BIGS
08-05-09, 06:41 PM
Well the one ive got has no holes. the bumper and grill is all in one. With just a hole where the grill is

This is the kit

is there anything else that i should know about?
BIGS

whats good for improving at 1.2 engine, since there is no need for a big engine on such a small island! haha
BIGS
08-05-09, 07:09 PM
Well for the 1.2 here is a guild that may help

But loads you can get just up to your taste. Then you name in the back/side window. Mud flaps, bonnet pins maybe a roof vent

Either paint them yourself or have them powdercoated
