Your first.........

[jatinder]

MOD on your car

mine was K&N 57i kit

we done everything else just wanted too know hows your went did u cock up like i did coz i didnt tighten the clip up properly and it fell off and got mangled by the altenater belt!

[ade]

1st "proper" mod was simply adding a set of 14" GSi alloys (bought for ?80) and a garish flourescent green strip sticker on both bumpers and down the side :x

And the following month as I was tidying up the bodywork (touch up paint on a few scratches) lost the plot and in a week completely resprayed whole car with cans including bumpers!

:o

Have to say it looked mint after it was polished and lasted for 3 HARD years worth of motorway driving (average 120miles a day for 8 months!)
no lacquer or owt!

But the stone chips took their toll - hense rebuild last July

Biggest mod disaster - prob the garish sticky bumper strips! Several disasters during rebuild last year - not major ones though - more stumbling into stuff that hindered me more than anything else (rusted bolts on suspension, rusted arches etc etc)

you can't get nova rear guides..... and if you fit nova front ones they sit too high

[Ric 16v]

my first mod was a 16v digital dash, about a year down the line it still works fine, been through one bulb for it and have changed the colours :D :D :D :D nice

[jkhilton]

first mod I did was to replace all the rusty bits of chrome on my old orange beetle with nice shiny bits of chrome, oh and for shows I had some hub caps that were orange and fuzzy and had smiley faces on!!!!<-- I know it was a mistake, but I was young, it was my first car and there were loads of beetles with crazy paintjobs and fluffy bits!!!! :) that was all in 96/97, can't remember exactly!!!

[Tilly]

:o you ordered in belmont rear guides??

youll have to find out from nova-x he did mine for me cause hes clever lol

[brian]

my first mod was back in "98 on my first Nova. a GTE which i owned for 4 months before we flared out all the arches, fitted 17's, smoothed bumpers, delocked, and full respray! My modding history got off to a good start :o

[Jim]

My first mod was either a K&N Air filter or some 15"smith multispoke Alloys, can't remember which one i did first.

My first ever car modification was putting some pepperpots onto a Mk2 Fiesta. That was back in 1995. Saying that, 1995 doesn't sound all that long ago.

Jim

[jatinder]

jim i was 13 when u put alloys on ur car!!!!

[Chris LR]

For most of 1995 I was only 10

[Jim]

LOL @ how young most of the members are these days, or is it just that I'm an old man? Hmmm, maybe I should trade the Nova in for a more reliable, sophisticated, comfortable, luxurious car...

Jim

[1389cc sri]

15" alloys, but if i was honest it would have to be the air freshener i put in straight after i bought it, it smelt like cabbage!



:eating:

[?Marty?]

Yea but an airfreshener is a 'max power' mod only. :lol:

[Euan]

i never got chance :cry:
