tbh you'd be hard pushed to find a nova body kit nowadays. In fact at all the shows I went to this year I only saw 2 (a Novadose one and a Bat motorsport one).

Novadose one is decent - the rear end looks smart and if you fit the fogs in the front it looks good.

Bat motorsport ones are okay but thats about as big as I'd go on the front end before you turn into a snow ploough.

Kits to avoid (IMO) - Delta ones - always reminded me of a lass I knew who tucked her skirt into her pants after going to the bog and any Kingdom ones - way too big for a Nova (eg the Scooby style front ends)

The old style Magnum ones werent bad but theyre pretty dates now (as are most).

Theres a lot to be said for designing your own kit. Its actually not that difficult and if you use an existing bumper to model if off you could make a master to take a mold from easily enough...

Here's my front end wip for Puntova - a little beyond the "standard" modded kit I'll grant you but not beyond most people who have used fibreglass and know their way about a sander...

i don't actually mind kitted up novas if the job is done well enough. i would go for novadose rear and skirts but not sure about the front bumper, it all depends on which wheels you go for i think.

the car above works well, just a shame most people now will disagree with it.

iv got a magnum kit from my old nova not to ott but need to use different skirts as it looks like freddie kruger attacked them lol

Too OTT for ya!lol

[napalm_27]

back bumper is the only bit i like

[craig green]

It look like a Vectra! (Ade).

IMO the Fibresports Novadose kit has stod the test of time a little. I never thought I would think that tbh. Back 10 years ago I absolutely loathed it beyond comprehension, but seeing as there is barely any cars in the club with the kit, it would go down pretty well & be individual IMO.

Thats not to say the whole kit needs to be fitted, the skirts were a bit 'naff' IMO.

[Jim]

I used a combination of the Novadose kit and Gsi kit when I had mine.

[novalicous]

any pics of yours jim

[craig green]

Jims. Worthy of a photo, so not that criminal.

Another Novadose. Totally wrong colour IMO, but has potential.

Not bad for a kitted nova really, yeah colour is ghey though

[craig green]

The bumper has been smoothed of the fog lamp holes etc, the Laguna/Espace splitter helps too.

Not a fan of the mesh grill, brings down the look

Here's a few pics from my collection.

Not sure what rear bumper this if, if off the shelf at all:

I quite like this one although rear arch looks a bit odd:

Suppose this is classed as a bodykit too!

Seeing that pic of mine that you posted Craig is making me wonder if I should go for white wheels again.

[brainsnova]

novadose kit looks okay imo but gte / gsi better

[Rysee]

Some awful kits there

[craig green]

novadose kit looks okay imo but gte / gsi better

I dont think there is any doubt, but if you want to stand out amongst all the GSi's, GSi reps & mk1 SR reps that will be in abundance next year, A subtle kitted Nova could be the ticket to turning a few heads at a show or 2. :thumb:

[General Baxter]

it will be snowploughs next year lol

or there will be 20 cavs on the stand lol

[craig green]

Aye, snowploughs galore.

I am going to put all my GSi kit in the loft, no one wants it but I reckon it will come back in fashion one day.

[Andy]

or there will be 20 cavs on the stand lol
All bellowing inferno like smoke because running at 20+psi lol

[Rysee]

^^^^^^ Awesome

[Dan]

i just wish i still had the orange one :( , but with an 11/12 year gap between those two particular builds noone would ever manage that, esp with the 2 or 3 builds in the middle when i was more sensible lol

[auzzy-b]

Were abouts did you buy the orange one from/sell it to? i lad i new had one just like that..

[auzzy-b]

is it wrong i think this is ok?

Noooo.. i think its kinda cool:) i also like the abyss style bumpers, dont think there too wild and can look smart:thumb:

[Dan]

i built the orange one in late 1997, sold it circa 2000/2001 to someone within 10 miles of me and was never seen again, was totalled as far as i know within 18mths of being sold

[auzzy-b]

Arrrr so you built it yourself.. couldnt of been that one then, plus it was never as clean at that lookslol

[Jack]

it will be snowploughs next year lol
Reckon? I thought the snowplough phase was dying out a bit. Might try and sell mine then lol
