The Nova's life.

1983; Opel/Vauxhall's first (succesful) attempt at making a supermini

Late 80's-90's; Spoiled by kids with too much money and love of body kits and filler

Late 90's - Present time; Rarely seen with standard engines and trim

Future; Scrap yard ornament/Hidden in garages for those who still live in the past.

i like it btw, theres a blue 1.2i in my local area with one on, hes a window cleaner though!

[Rysee]

Doesn't Mogli's have a roof rack?

[andy_017]

I personally don't like it but it's in keeping with the style of the car!

[Sloth]

dude its the dogs danglies!!! i've just ordered a period chrome one for the cav, and im after s surf board.... you jus need uber slammage now martin!!!!

[Jack]

Hrrm..

[Martin]

doesnt tie in with the res tof the car IMO..

why's every1 jumping on the bandwagon with roof racks..

[mowgli]

Doesn't Mowgli's have a roof rack?

i took my kid's bikes to billing so they'd ride round the site & i could talk novas. it was a paddy hopkirk one with halfords bikey bits. and i removed it when i got home

[floydy13]

im glad i didnt buy that for my 83 project off ebay! no offence like, what ever floats your boat i guess!!

[Novaboi_1991]

i got one of those, lol, dad gave it to me along wit the saloon,

FASHION STATEMENT!

[Asa-James]

err....

[jimbob-mcgrew]

not keen on it myself, but im really liking the standardness of your wagon :thumb:

[Ernie]

so you want to waste some more fuel then.

[Count Vaux Alot]

Mine was better lol

[bmw156]

lol mixed reactions then, thanks. i personally love it.

some people says it doesnt go with the car, but i like it and i drive it lol.

and wwmnw (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/member.php?u=38564) thats all very well what you said but whats your point lol.

[bmw156]

Mine was better lol

theres always one

and spudly, the gutter trims are fine, there is rubber protecting the brackets :)

[draper]

good job you have a quick rack imo

what with the extra ballast ant sudden side wind would need uberprecision to correct, i like the fact you upgraded the reast of the car to cope first :thumb:

Proof above ;)

[bmw156]

wan*er lol

[draper]

count vauxs 'fits' with the car tho, yours doesnt unless your an 80yr old going to cornwall

[bmw156]

lol draper, you say it doesnt fit with the car but i think it does. if it was one like count's which is silver etc etc then yeh it deffo would fit. but mine is more modern looking...

[draper]

lol draper, you say it doesnt fit with the car but i think it does. if it was one like count's which is silver etc etc then yeh it deffo would fit. but mine is more modern looking...

FAIL on a nova :p

[bmw156]

FAIL on a nova :p

lol, hence why i said "more" as its not completely modern looking, just more then counts old one :)

[Graeme]

Imo it looks hideous, not my cup of tea, I'd rather drive somewhere with the car full than have loads of stuff on the roof

[Curtoise]

one word bant. but nice one for trying

[Rysee]

Love the car

[Jack]

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg167/Count85/FCRC0409.jpg
I remember seeing that in the blue library and exclaiming "wtf, a brown Nova has centre page whilst a V8 stag is stuck down the bottom?!" lol

[ade]

it just looks weird - its almost like youve started to think about ratting it (which if you ever did we'd remove your eyes with rusty spoons!)

[Lynsey]

I...I...I... I like rusty spoons :p

[ade]

lol your just one twisted gurl!

[Lynsey]

I like to touch them...

Dude don't you watch Salad Fingers?

That is the most random vid i've ever seen on youtube

[Jack]

Aaaannnd.... CAT FACE omfg I love cat face.

[Rysee]

Roofrack...

watched 1-3 and will watch the rest this week, seriously good, reminds me of a cool animated sketch show that used to be on itv that was weird and slightly disturbing, can't remember the name though, maybe 5-6 years ago

[ade]

man thats fecking WEIRD!

lol hed spunk his load is he touched a nova rear arch!

[MK999]

it's setting a new standard in car modifying, the modern-rat scene maybe to be known as modrat.


Which will not last much longer than that first pic, where it died a horrible death of non confirming to any kind of style lol

[Leeboo]

I think it looks fine. It makes your Nova look more purposeful and a bit more european, I don't mean euro style but like something you might see in a side street in Spain, if that makes sense.

But please don't ruin it by putting on euro style wheels and bonnet bras etc - no offense to anyone with those but its not my cup of tea.

[J4MES]

Not a massive fan, but like you say its yours..

[burgo]

ITS NOT A ****ING VW AND EVEN IF IT WAS IT WOULD STILL LOOK FOOKING STUPID

and yes mowgli had one but his is to take his kids bikes which is kool

[G-nova]

yep good - i would chrome it up tho and move it a little bk. like ur grill i nearly bought 1 on ebay but never did, thinking i should ov now it looks good

[brainsnova]

an empty roof rack wastes fuel :D

[wwmnw]

Salad fingers is truly awesome in many respects!

[bmw156]

yeh i agree with all what you said. dont worry im not gonna get a bonnet bra as thats a totally different style all together

ade. yeh i know what your saying and kinda agree. i dont wanna hit "rat" style on the head, but i just liked this roof rack and i think it looks cool. setting new trends etc etc

Burgo, are you stating all cars with roof racks are trying to be Vw's as thats quite a wide claim.

[GRUNT 16V]

It Looks Gayer Than Gay

[AlexW]

Burgo, are you stating all cars with roof racks are trying to be Vw's as thats quite a wide claim.

LMFAO Burgo is saying that cars that have roofracks for NO reason are trying to copy the VW scene.

Oh and it looks ****.

[GDN16v]

setting new trends etc etc


Not exactly setting new trends, merely dragging up the very bad, old past of roof racks from yesteryear!


Pointless addition in my eyes, even if it is GM!:(

Car looks better without! ;)!

[bmw156]

LMFAO Burgo is saying that cars that have roofracks for NO reason are trying to copy the VW scene.

Oh and it looks ****.

even if you have somthing to say then dont say it. as i dont like under age, lieing, fake, gay ****s commenting on my posts...

[L14MNP]

Looks to$$. You may think it suits it, but will look 10 times better with it removed. That's what I tend to think of the majority of cars with graphics.

I hate 'scene' butt yours isn't even that lol. Looks like you're going to the tip with some old cane furniture and a filing cabinet IMO.

[stevie-p]

:thumb:
even if you have somthing to say then dont say it. as i dont like under age, lieing, fake, gay ****s commenting on my posts...

were you not asking peoples opinions?
i'm not going to knock it i wouldent do it but i dont think it looks that bad and as been said before it's your car if your happy with it then thats all that matters:thumb:

[L14MNP]

lol @ the 'if you don't agree with my post then leave comments'

Killing MPG and style in one swift move with zero gains. Kudos. :)

[AlexW]

Why ask opinions if you cant take the people who know it makes it look ****?

[sport]

Taking the list of factory optional extras to a new high or should that be low point lol

[L14MNP]

The roof is about the only part that doesn't rust on a Nova lol. Clamp those feet down and maybe we will see some well cool rat holes/rotten gutters. lol

[AlexW]

Ive seen a nova rust around the sunroof lol, and started to rot along the gutters.

[Nova_Sean]

Massive backfire on bmw156.

http://rofl.wheresthebeef.co.uk/Gun%20Backfire.gif

[L14MNP]

lol no panel is safe! Factory sunroof too?

[AlexW]

Yep it was lol

Factory SR with tilt and slide roof lol

[AlexW]

lol Thats a good reason to have a roof rack... And the only good reason lol

[Southie]

This is my input on the matter. :d

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p379/SOUTHIE01/PNGBMW186-snowscene.jpg

[Hobbit]

Dont like to jump on tha bashing band wagon but its for carrying stuff when your boot is full/wont fit in the boot. Its not a fashion accessory.

[hybridturbo]

****ing ****

[stevie-p]

im just waition for the poor fellow to get back

IT'S GONNA BE ****ING WAR

[L14MNP]

LOL @ NBC.

Looks like I have been edited? lol

[G-nova]

i think poeple are being a bit harsh here like but thats my opinion dont want poeple jumping down my neck anall lol

[AlexW]

Deserves to be harsh.

Hes also got a towbar.... should add that to the list of LOL's, A towbar on a nova, pointless without a trailer and a nova can tow **** all.

[AlexW]

Its not a fashion accessory.

Is for him lol

[petrolhead99]

dear jesus the roof rack and the 3-spoke wheels oh lord i personally think ya ruined yer nova rite ther but if ur happy with it good for you

[Jack]

Hobbit has a point. Who gives a fcuk what it looks like if you want to carry more stuff.

I don't give a shat what my nova looks like

[L14MNP]

Handy to carry stuff. Remove when not in use IMO.

Jack, can use your moderat0r powaz and find where my motivational pics went? Was trying to link a mate and they're gone. :/ lol

[bmw156]

AW06, the tow bar has gone now if you check out the pics !!!!!!!!!! baxter has it.

and what about if i wanna carry something long and i dont have the roof rack fitted.

it has a very good practical element, and i think it looks cool.

as people said i can remove it, if i like... it was cheap, so it doesnt bother me, i like it, and that is all that matters.

lol to NBC for the pic

cheers RJ, this is my daily runner, it is useful for carrying extra things.

and petrol head99, you think i have ruined it with the 3 spokes....... your wrong my friend, very wrong IMO

[stevie-p]

:thumb: check out his project you will see why lol

[djshaggeh]

I actually quite like the grandad look tbh and I think that would make a really cool sleeper, get the tow bar back and drop a redtop in lol

If you like it bmw156 then thats all that matters, at the end of the day its your car.

[mayhem]

roofracks can be cool, but you missed the boat lol

i really love this one

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c341/mayhem22/6l11gyg.jpg

c20ne turbo too

[kelbelle]

Wow I hope that bandwagon is big enough to carry you all, when it breaks down give us a call and you can sit on our roof rack!

AW06 - I think you'll find the towbar was fitted because he was going to tow things! Wow what a revelation! He bought a motorbike trailer after all!

I like it. That is all.

[mayhem]

Wow I hope that bandwagon is big enough to carry you all, when it breaks down give us a call and you can sit on our roof rack!
.

roof of a nova is allowed to carry about 25 kilo... ;)

[Lynsey]

Hahahaha +rep :thumb: damn, would if I could but I can't :(

[bmw156]

LOL to lynz, and mayhem the roof rack has a weight limit of 80kg, i already checked lol

and i agree kelbelle. :)

[Jack]

Hahahaha +rep :thumb: damn, would if I could but I can't :(
Rep'd on behalf of the lynz

Feck, 80Kgs. There goes my urban surfing plans lol

[mayhem]

LOL to lynz, and mayhem the roof rack has a weight limit of 80kg, i already checked lol

and i agree kelbelle. :)

lol, no offence, but imo you have the wrong type of roofrack, thats all.

its not the reck i'm worried about when sitting on it, its the roof of the nova.

iirc the roof of a nova cant carry more than 25-50 kilo.
a corsa D has a max of 75 kilo.

there's a word for it, but i dont know it lmfao

[boyle_46]

hmm what ever floats your boat man i personally wouldnt have one near either of my cars im sure you could pull pff some retro euro thing with it thow

[Jack]

there's a word for it, but i dont know it lmfao
Sh!tty-tin-can-vauxhall-crapbox? :)

[bmw156]

[Joe Richardson]

[Richie_B]

Just needs a set of ladders on the roof now and will look like a window cleaners runabout

[kelbelle]

Just needs a set of ladders on the roof now and will look like a window cleaners runabout
