Evenin butt munchers! Can't believe this is the first time I've posted here!

Anyway, if your lookin for some inspiration on a Euro style Nova, have a look at my one, the original work was done by Type K Styling, altho it will be being finished off else were (and it will be changing colour again)......

Lower? :lol: Its already down 80mm! Do you know how difficult it is to get arch cleareance on 9" wide wheels?? :lol: Well, its staying as it is for the moment!

The alloys on that came from Germany, a company called Keskin, and they arn't that much more expensive than normal, just gettin them shipped can be a pain! (Glad I didn't have to do it! :lol: )

Yeah, If you're in europe.

Fuck all this labelling crap. Do a Nova (or any car) in any way YOU like. There are no limits/guidelines.

Corsa's are wank, so try and do a nova proper euro style. Sorry to any corsa owners, but i think they look like birds cars. Just my personal opinion.

U what??

Last time i looked the UK Was in Europe? Correct me if im wrong Marty.

If i choose to do a "Euro" Nova because i like the look of 9" wide split rims n flared arches aint that because thats the way id LIKE my nova?, It's naff all to do with guidlines ect ect It's a look thats common in Germany/Holland which folk call Euro nothing else nothing more

Taity

Yeh I misread that post and I did know that Nova's were called Corsa A's in the rest of Europe. But Darren, u probably don't kno why, so I'll enlighten you. To keep costs down, Vauxhall chose to use standardised design on the corsa a or nova's to keep costs low they used the name NOVA in the UK, however it was named corsa in the rest of europe, not corsa a as vauxhall did not know they were going to be producing corsa b or corsa c. The reason it was called corsa in the rest of europe is because nova in Spainish means 'Won't Go'.

because nova in Spainish means 'Won't Go'

Never said it wasn't.

By 'guidelines' i mean people who look at the magazines who 'label' stuff and then modify their car to fit a label. What the fuck is a 'euro' nova? It's what the british mags call the look of the cars in Germany/Holland and etc, but the majority of British cars don't look like that, and they are too 'euro'.

Now, any car that doesn't fit into the categories already used, is referred to as nu-custom. wtf!?

Marty, for the first and hopefully Last time I AGREE with you.

hopefully Last time I AGREE

Why? :lol:

It's funny, as i think most of what i said in the above two posts (and prob in most of my posts :lol: ) was a load of bollocks. But some of it made a point. What that is, i don't know. :lol: :roll:
