Hey all, just thought i would post some pics of my nova let me know what you think, needs different rims in my opinion and lowered more but thats about it. Maybe gsi bumpers but pretty pleased the way it is, some ideas would be nice, Thanks Matt

that looks really clean, nice car. i think new wheels and lowered would do it keep it the way it is..

looks clean but i think if you lowered it and didnt change the wheels then they might rub.

It looks very clean and solid :)

I'm not overly struck on the body-coloured brake drums, but a subtle lowering would make that car look peachy :cool:

i need a nova in my life :(

my first thought's were...gloss black bumpers+colour coded doors....

very nice nova though buddy ;)

yes change the rims and drop it some more and if you want mudflaps on put some better ones on lol :thumb:

Connor
21-01-10, 02:16 PM
agreed with the different wheel choice and lowering,
once done that will be a little gem :thumb:

N.I_Nova
21-01-10, 03:07 PM
yeah i tottally agree not fond of the rims myself lol i was thinkin maybe drop it onto sr rims,speedlines or maybe cesaros i think white rims would be nice but maybe to much so might stick with silver, its only lowered 30mm at the mo and it rubs when someone is in the back so i dont take passengers lol only my girlfriend in the front :D, and yeah it is lagoon blue, GTEJOE yeah that was me with it advertised wasnt actually selling it just seeing if there was interest lol, not a chance of me selling it :) love it and i am from kilkeel in county down

Looks nice mate :)

N.I_Nova
21-01-10, 03:18 PM
cheers, when i found it i thought will this is defiantly a keeper, my first one was useless, it was a semi faded 1.0 spin lol, not the most stunning and not in great nick and broke down every mile lol seemed like it anyway, but sure done me rightly :)

Grey
21-01-10, 03:24 PM
nice one very like the one i picked up for my donar car. very clean! :)

What's the engine bay/slam panel been done with ?

N.I_Nova
21-01-10, 03:29 PM
seems to be wax oiled

I actually wouldnt change a thing, GSi bumpers are done to death. Maybe go a tad lower & I wouldnt blame you for changing the rims but it looks sweet IMO.

N.I_Nova
21-01-10, 03:39 PM
cheers mate, yeah the rims HAVE to go defianatly, wandering weither to get coilovers or just springs and shocks, not 100%

Connor
21-01-10, 03:42 PM
depends on what your budget is, as i would rather some half decent shocks and springs, than cheapy coilovers

N.I_Nova
21-01-10, 03:46 PM
yeah supose so and depending on what wheels i get the rear coilovers could rub

Zildjian
21-01-10, 03:51 PM
depends on what your budget is, as i would rather some half decent shocks and springs, than cheapy coilovers

Agreed.

Preferably a proper researched matched-set.

21-01-10, 04:28 PM
novaload1992 i am always in banbridge cause my girlfriend lives there, infact thats where i am right now lol, were abouts you live at, yeah we dont have that many novas over here good job really the less the better lol, then when it comes to selling theres more people that want them, its all about the money :), yeah have to get a good matched set of springs would be well worth it, though its not bad they way it sits at the mo, but still, i will never be happy i will probably keep changing rims :), my girlfriend is always like leave it the way it is but i cant do that lol

21-01-10, 09:19 PM
saturday night good job, what time you wanna meet? every one usually starts firing about the town at about 8 so any time after 8 really would be best for showing of purposes of course, have to give a wash now so it looks well and maybe another wax and polish if i feel like it tomorrow, or more like if it isnt raining

N.I_Nova
21-01-10, 09:27 PM

22-01-10, 09:08 AM
Looks well, always liked that colour!!

I think a set of Speedlines would set it off nicely, they're common for a perfectly good reason!

I've no Novas on the road at the minute, all garaged until April time when hopefully the good weather comes again!

N.I_Nova
22-01-10, 02:36 PM
cheers mate, someone that agrees on speedlines :) . . . I like you lol, i always wanted them, yes a lot of people have them, but that is the simple reason they look great, you have speedlines dont you??? yeah well hopefully the good weather will come very unpredictable being northern ireland like lol, we never really get a summer its just rain with a bit of sun lol, i want to see your novas cause they look gorgeous :thumb: the world wouldn't be the same without novas lol

amggsi
22-01-10, 04:46 PM
Yeah, I've 2 sets of Speedlines, one silver, and a grey set.
Have Softstars as well, can't beat a bit of variety!!

Not much to see of the Novas at the minute, they are all buried in the shed, but call up in the better weather again if you want!

N.I_Nova
22-01-10, 04:49 PM
defianlty will have to see them in the better weather, you wouldn't sell any of your rims trying to find a decent set at the mo, just gonna sell mine first though

amggsi
22-01-10, 04:52 PM
Don't really want to sell them, usually a few sets of Speedlines in Ads for Free though.

N.I_Nova
22-01-10, 04:59 PM
ah yes forgot about that good old book of wonders been a while since i bought an adds for free, shall have to have a look, sofstars might look well on my car not sure, was thinking i might buy a new set of them cause speedlines are pretty dear brand new, will probably end up getting second handers
