I have just recently purchased a 1.2 merit, the only problem is, is that it has just standard features, i am looking for a decent bodykit that i can put on it, easily, does anyone have any suggestions on what is the best bodykit at the moment, or which combination of bodykits are the best!!
I have only just got this nova about a week ago, so just need suggestions!!
Hope you can help me on my quest!!
Cheers

What mechanical mods do you recommend? i have had a R5 before this, and i only did exterior mods, so not certain what to get first!!

cheers

Well of course he cant keep it as a stardard 1.2merit!! :oops:

But i'd say keep it nice & simple, as nice an simple is also nice an easy! :lol:

This is MY opinion anyway, alot of others my tell u different;
If u got a mk1, get a full GTE kit & interior. They go on simple & there cheap.

If u got a MK2, get a GSI kit & interior, same again, easy to fit and pretty cheap 2nd hand.

Get all bumpers & little bits like mirrors colour coded, lower it 40mm or 60mm, on a set of 15's(so no major arch mod's required) & then u got urs self a nice little nova to be gettin on with..... 8)

Also little things like cleaning the car PROPERLY, gettin rid of rust spots(if u got any) also it a good idea aswell when u get a new nova.

post sum piccies when u get it going. :)
