Washed and polished the GTE (Loads of pics)

[GTE TURBZ]

Decided to wash and polish the car after the disappointing England game. Also finished applying the wurth dye on the kit, really brought it up.
Hope you enjoy

Might have gone abit OTT this time.

Nonetheless thanks for looking

[Nick J]

Looks lovely! With its standard/period look I think the car would possibly be well suited to some standard wheel trims though, Just an idea. :)

Looks very nice. I even think the wheels suit it aswell to my surprise.

It's funny you say that, I have the standard original GTE steelies and hub caps sitting in the garage. Was actually gonna put them on on the same day, then decided not to coz couldn't be bothered.

Might in the next few weeks.

[Tommy_nova]

This Gte id stunning the wheels look like they are standard which makes it look awsome love it matie

[Derick-Sport]

gorgeous mate the wheels look very well on

[GTE TURBZ]

I'm in two minds whether to put a red stripe in the bumper indentation both front and back which it originally came with or even possibly black, to give it that detailed look.

What you guys recon?

[7ova]

your nova looks great mate,
was electric windows an option on the GTE or was it not standard
before G reg/1990????????????

Cheers very much buddy

No think your right there, leccy windows was an option, even up to G as my last one didn't have them.

[16v Nova Kev]

that looks very good indeed.

cheers
i wasnt quite sure,
i'd seen a g reg with electric windows
and then saw the photo's of yours with no switches in the center
under the tape holders and window winders on the door cards.
i'm more of a mk2 man my self, still learning about mk1 lol

[Novasport]

Nice to see a standard tidy GTE. Getting rare to see an original unmodified one.

[novalovingned]

Very nice example there :d

[mk1nova_rich]

lovely car mate, and the wheels definitely do suit it. Keep them on and keep the steelies and trims for shows etc :d rep given

[shanemc]

Thats gorgeous, a credit to you. The slabs suit it down to the ground

[Brodie_Sri]

Very nice mate stunning car:thumb:

[Mazz]

That's gorgeous - imo it just needs a black bumper stripe and period wheels..

[Nova_Tek]

Looking clean and mint there fella. Although the wheels are not standard, keeping them silver and clean does actually suit well and it does look factory.

:thumb:

[GRUNT 16V]

I always wanted a red GTE looks gurt lush !

[Edd]

You don't see many standard Gte's in that condition anymore.

Awesome, can't believe you wanted to sell it.

[GDN16v]

Very nice car:thumb: Wanted one like this when i was younger!:cry:GTE seats are comfy as fook!!!!!

[GTE TURBZ]

Thank you all very much for your lovely comments, yeah heard that a few times that the wheels look factory. I think its coz i got the griffin painted in red, which is also the same paint as on the car.

Anyway, have decided to put the steelies back on with or without the hub caps depending on how it looks, bit of variety as im bored. There was a lazer blue gte forsale on PH and got the idea from there, think the owner was on here too. Havent had the steelies on since it was lowered so looking forward to it.

Oh and going for a red bumper stripe, as was factory.

Pics will follow when i get round to doing it.

Cheers all

Something like this.........
