My nova is white, currently with standerd bumpers, laguna spliter and gsi skirts, at the moment there all satin black except spliter which is standerd, i need to re-paint them for PVS, do i keep them satin black or colour code them?

they need painting will just do it the same, got to get it looking good for PV to make up for still being a 1.2

Looks good as-is to me, and there could be anything under the bonnet - no-one will know til you open it / start it!

Imo it doesnt matter whats under the bonnet, as long as its clean, well looked after and there are no bodge jobs its fine. Its hard to find a nova like that these days lol

i agree it looks spot on as it is, and the standard front bumper does look cheap an tacky when colour coded.

Shes clean enogh, few small dings but nothing that cant be sorted, plus bottoms of rear quarters gone abit under skirts, and bit of rust under header tank and washer bottle under the bonnet but hasn't gone past surface yet. But im starting a welding course soon so cant wait to sort things out
