[vaughanmc]

Quite like the Astra GTE ones :)

[Graeme]

They look ten times better if you fit the recesses

[vaughanmc]

How'd you mean mate ?

[Graeme]

The astra bonnet has a recess for the vents, when the recesses are cut out of the bonnet and fitted into a nova bonnet the vents sit at the right height, rather than looking proud on the bonnet

[vaughanmc]

Ahh right :) I like the Astra GSi ones as well

[Graeme]

I prefer the gte ones the gsi ones have been done to death

[vaughanmc]

I just want something to feed the 40's on the Mk1 - Maybe a Trooper scoop :thumb:

[mowgli]

trouper scoops are soo ten years ago, along with bee sting aerials..

[moffat]

trouper scoops are soo ten years ago, along with bee sting aerials..

still look good imo.. kinda old skool

[sparkie1401]

trouper scoops are soo ten years ago, along with bee sting aerials..

well thats when they were around imo they look great an that was the in vent when i fell in love with the babay vauxhall hence i have one on mine:thumb:

it would be a dull world if we all liked the same

i thought about swapping it for a grand vitara vent but it would be more work to fit, be easiest to weld the vitara section it to do it correctly

actually b sting arials are used as OE ariels by most manufacturers

wish my evo had a b sting cos whatever ariel it has it poo (think its in rear window)

[vaughanmc]

I'll just need to keep a lookout at scrappys and see if theres anything about

[vaughanmc]

Anyone know what bonnet bulge is on Karl Rowntree's Nova ?

[let_nova]

Here you go matey

lol i remember that,

GTE side vents or saphire cozzie, and subaru in the middle.

[vaughanmc]

I was thinking of GTE vents on the side and maybe a Trooper scoop in the middle to feed the carbs...?

Might be a bit much but everything was back then lol

[Benn]

I fancy pressed in vents in mine... Dont do gte vents dude.

[let_nova]

buy my bonnet lol

[vaughanmc]

Nope lol

Hmm I like louvres as well (If that's how you spell it)

[craig green]

karls is an Ecosse Peugeot vent, ts a non functioning vent iirc. It took ages to fit he told me, an utter pain. Its inspired by the Integrale vented bonnet & the grp-A Renault 21 turbo had a similar thing. Personally I think the Trooper/Monteray vent suits any Nova really, It's OE & square enough to match the boxy styling.

Louvres can look OK. Obv choice though.

[bazil]

sorry let but the trooper scooper is a half measure, you either have a big manly scoop or none at'tall lol

[let_nova]

lol i dont have a trooper scoop.

[bazil]

aye but you looking for one,

vaughan, do you remember the grey gsi on sbd throttle boddies in the mags a good few years ago? it was the only nova i seen with a scoop done right and it was a scooby one, i think from a bugeye, iirc the motor was from airdrie, defo a scottish motor, i see if i still ave the feature up my workshop tommorrow

[vaughanmc]

Hmm I don't know if I know that one - I might do but not sure

Ever been in TV ?
