I have seen them sell for that much before, although unused/unpainted ones. I'd expect around the £50 for a good nick one though like in that ebay listing.

Not a real great deal between the rear standard and gsi ones,
just a small cut out for the exhaust, you could cut one out yourself and save your self some money. Just my opinion

Don't the rear GSi ones flair down and out a little bit more?

That's what I thought, but I'm by no means a Nova veteran so I could be wrong.

I do believe that the only difference is the cutout as i cant see any other difference

Do the standard bumpers have a smooth of textured feel?

Nova_Sean
08-05-10, 12:56 AM
std's are textured

bazil

There's your difference aswell, if you look at the paint finnish on my pic you see there is no texture whatsoever.

Jack

I believe all are textured, just GSi ones are painted which fills in the surface.

And yeas, only difference is the exhaust cutout.

Got a fiberglass one here, but would only really suit a track car. Held onto it cos it is rare, but dont need it now as my next one will be a coupe lol

Lee, which tailgate is that? That's the style I want for the SR, numberplate recess sized like an early mk1, rather than mk2 with grab handle missing lol

Lee
08-05-10, 08:09 PM
Tis fiberglass Mark, but it is styled on an early MK1 tailgate yes :)

MK999
08-05-10, 08:20 PM
I realised that, few different people do them though, and I've only seen the mk2 based ones so far lol

Lee
08-05-10, 08:24 PM
Sorry mate lol. They came from Eurorallye

Hmm expensive, shame no one else thinks to use a more correct looking mould lol Something else to add to the list of stuff I can't afford yet I guess :p

Yeah, they're not cheap BUT they are beautifully moulded. All the bracing on the bonnet and the inner skin on the tailgate is perfect. Not seen an equivelent as good IMO

Fair enough, I know what to ask for now if any second hand ones appear anyway, cheers :d
