View Full Version : Nova Mudflaps!
Any of you lot bid on these?
Saw these on ebay last week, thought hmmm, they'd be nice for the Ski. Waited until dismoring to put a bid in (knowing they'd go for a fair bit), but was horrified to see them rocket from £50 to £120+ in the last 10 seconds!

For a set of mudflaps, that's crazy sh!t :eek:
That's nuts, what about the ones with vaux, gm and opel on them, i got 2 sets for £20 new
Probably lucky you never got them, its for the right hand side only.

Yeah I bid on them and won them, had been looking six years for the ones with the correct square griffin for my 1989 GTE and as I am in Northern Ireland I dont get to attend the big vauxhall shows in england.
They arrived today and i am well pleased with them, yes i paid double what the vauxhall ones for a say an astra g would be, but they would not be period for my totally standard nova gte as it only as 15,000 dry miles on the clock from new i dont want to fit just anything to it. It has to be right, its all about the detail.
I had a full set with the later round griffin from a mark 2 but they would not look right on a standard earlier car in my opinion.
i was in england last month and the local vauxhall dealer had taken in a nova under the government scrapage scheme and he wouldnt even remove the mudflaps for me, so when i seen my chance i had to have them.
Im not that mad as someone else was still biding against me right up till the end time.
also pathetic!
Get ****ed wide boi. :p

That is just nuts, the scheme stipulates the bodyshells or engines must not go back on the road/get destroyed. We have had loads of nova parts from scrappage scheme vehicles from our local yard, Edd totally stripped the interior of a Swing right down to the dash & seat runners. lol
As for the mudflaps, the later ones (Astra G type) don't fit the rear bumper properly either, they hang at a funny angle because of the return lip on the bumper. Small details as you say..........
Pics of said car????????????
