Before/After - Flame Red Nova

[vaughanmc]

Found this picture on my laptop

The J reg Nova beside mine is a before, un-loved and unpolished Flame Red and mine beside it is one that gets regularly polished and waxed etc

An amazing difference:

LOL, i prefer the darker colour but it just isnt as shiny.

But what a difference in the 2 colours.

[vaughanmc]

Both the same colour - One faded...One isn't lol

[LEWI007]

Oh you dont understand me again ffs lol

I mean, i know they are both the same colour, i prefer the darker shade that wasnt looked after but it just isnt shiny, and what an interesting difference between the 2 colours that should be the same.

[vaughanmc]

Ahh right, I thought you meant Carmine Red as opposed to Flame...

[AlexW]

Its so boring and tedious to polish it all etc. Not getting out and use it like you always say...

[corsa1.4sport]

prefer the E reg sr out of all them, mk2 is just **** :L

[daverobson]

mk1 van? havnt seen one before

mk1 van? havnt seen one before

Looks like a J reg, so possibly not originally a mk1.

When you don't have a license you can polish and polish away but when you have a license you use it :thumb:

Which is exactly what I done - Car's not been polished since about August but been regularly washed

[loggyboy]

Looks like a late registered Mk1 with a mk2 bumper. (alot of older shape vans get sold off after the normal cars are facelifted) - Meaning the colour difference will be the fact its Carmine Red, not an unpolished Flame red!

[Benn]

^ But you get mk1s in flame red too. I had one. Carmine is much darker red.

[Graeme]

Carmine is nice imo doesn't fade to pink either looks more orange when the two are together

[craig green]

/\ As Graeme says, I've always thought Carmine Red is more Orangey than Flame Red, unless the flame Red in question is horrendously oxidised & looking more Pinky white.

Great pic though Vaughan.

The same difference can be seen here, a 1998 S reg astra parked behind my 1993 late K reg cav.....

/\ Both look Pink!

My Bros old mk4 Astra was same as that one, turned out one of my old clients got it as a trade-in & the next day it was the brightest Flame Red I'd ever seen. Proper polish session FTW!

[Spudly]

Cheeky sod lol


Its far 'redder' than the disastra is though:thumb:

[Bubba]

cav looks sooooooo much better :D

[LEWI007]

Thats a NICE Cav !

[Graeme]

My old hatch had gone beyond pink but my mate flatted it and machine polished it and it always lasted for a month, then I just colour magic'd it before shows etc

Mk2 Van with Mk1 wings and lights :thumb:

[thegingerwhinger]

yous are all wrong, the nova van was actually painted in ford radiant red, and was originally a mk2 but the guy i bought it off changed it to mk1. lol lol
