You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Curtoise again.

:p

[Curtoise]

LOL, cheerz, how much do snow plows float about for these days?

[vaughanmc]

Just needs that front number plate raised so it's covering the yellow stripe and it'd look awsome :)

[Southie]

Depends on condition, mine was £30 for the lower valance about 3 years ago but I've seen full fronts going for about £150 :roll:

Personally I think they look tacky now as too many people decided to buy them and tried to make there MK1 "retro".

[Southie]

Just needs that front number plate raised so it's covering the yellow stripe and it'd look awsome :)

It's been like that since 1987 so until I get some new plates it can stay like that lol

[vaughanmc]

Ahhh right fair play mate :) :thumb:

[Curtoise]

yeh i think they should be only sold to people with pre 1989 novas lol, the one i should be getting is 1987 :D

[Curtoise]

and show me some pics of the back of it lol

[vaughanmc]

I'm trying to source one for my 1990 G reg ;)

[Curtoise]

what are the 1.0l pushrod engines like then lol?

[vaughanmc]

No idea mate never drove one lol But I have a 1.2i which is about the same power lol

SLOW

[Curtoise]

yeh i have a 1.2i aswell, just a pushrod engine lmfao, did mk1's ever get the ohc 1ltrs?

[vaughanmc]

Nope, all OHV I think

[Curtoise]

bollocks!
i want to 1.3sr engine it :)
but how do you go about doing all the paperwork for the change, im lost with it all.

[vaughanmc]

No idea - I'll sort that out when I come to log my 1.0 as a 1.4 ;)

[Curtoise]

are you driving it as a 1.4 atm?

[vaughanmc]

Nope not on the road yet mate - Still a WIP

[Curtoise]

i seee, looks good tho :D, i will want to do a change because 1.0l will suck bad.

[Jack]

bollocks!
i want to 1.3sr engine it :)
but how do you go about doing all the paperwork for the change, im lost with it all.
See the articles section, I did a guide on how to log an engine change.

If you're staying under 1.5, its easier as you don't need to re-apply for tax. Just fill out the new info on the V5C (engine code and cylinder capacity), get some form of evidence of the change (DVLA may not request this, but just in case they do... also, insurance might ask for it too), then post to the DVLA. I think the address is on the V5C.

I'll go get a pic of my 'plough. Its straddling the rafters of my garage, brand new direct from Opel and never used :d

[Curtoise]

ur gonna make me want a plow, cheerz for the info jack i will have a read through it, how do you get evidence of the change?
also what was that stuff about it needing to be carried out by a garage ?

edit: +rep jack and vaughan

[mowgli]

the dvla want to know that it was done safely, so photographic evidence & an engineers report will suffice.

if you want a 1.3 sr, just go & buy one

[Jack]

They won't give a toss about seeing it, just that its been done to a decent standard. I don't have the letter they sent me to hand, but iirc it was a) receipt of the engine swap from the mechanic/garage that carried out the work, b) confirmation of the engine number and capacity from a mechanic/garage, c) independent vehicle inspection report (from RAC, AA etc), or d) written evidence from the manufacturer

[Curtoise]

i see, mowgli because sr's these days are silly money!

[mayhem]

snowploughs used to be cool...

[mowgli]

snowploughs used to be cool...lol lol

BLOODY GLOBAL WARNING:(

[mayhem]

lol the where great, untill the came as common as gsi front bumpers.
and people realise it, and now the all want the Zender front valance.. in 3 years where back with the Type K front bumpers.

[vaughanmc]

lol the where great, untill the came as common as gsi front

No where near as common as GSi bumpers - Every Tom, Dick & Harry wants a GSi or GSi styled Nova

Snowplough's IMO are still quite scarce - Most people don't even know what a Snowplough is lol They all want GSi because it's 'the best' :roll:

Snowplough FTW

agreed, one reason i never got a front gsi bumper for my mk2, red mk2 black bumpers gsi skirts, on speedlines ! too common

[vaughanmc]

I personally don't like a GSi bumper unless it's on a proper GSi but that's just my opinion...Hence why I kept my base model Mk2 Bumper...Don't see as many lol

[bai1ey]

southie sir your car is awsomeness in all its glory

[Rysee]

what are the 1.0l pushrod engines like then lol?

I can run faster, I somedays think hmm it'd be nice if this just blew up

[Curtoise]

LMFAO rysee
great, keep for a project then lol

[Southie]

southie sir your car is awsomeness in all its glory
It's a loner by the looks of it lol

[grooge]

need to get my snowplough back on, want it done for if I make it to total vauxhall at crail. might need a new one though as almost all my clips have snapped off, will need to take a look at it it. not seen a good one for sale for a while though.

and to compare a plough to a gsi bumper in terms of popularity, hahaha, plough is way less popular and so much cooler(its mk1 after all).

[Nova_Tek]

Is this the snowplough turbo?

[Eck]

Still an XE there.

(note mk1 Astra Recaros) now replaced with Manta GTE burberry.

[Nova_Tek]

Anymore pics of the Recaros in there?

[Eck]

TBH I hardly have any pics of the car.

Original colour was 67L BTW.

[Nova_Tek]

67L? That some type of gold?

If he hadn't painted it blue I'd have kept the colour.

[Nova_Tek]

Mine says 87L on the plate next to the VIN plate but on the VIN plate itself it has E421. That colour does look very similar but the only way to tell would be the code on the VIN plate.

[Eck]

VIN says E 467

[Nova_Tek]

E467 is BarytBraun meaning 'something'Brown. Mine is 427 which is WeissGold (WhiteGold). They're close but not the same.
