Check out the mud and snow tyres

[LEWI007]

There was a POV Spec white MK1 aswell that didnt come with the snowplough and wrap around spoiler lol

You have to fit the mirrors yourself also, i noticed they dont have any indicators

[Andy]

That isnt full of lads with baseball caps on though,so nowt like yours

[LEWI007]

Im thinking about taking it to bits and changing it, maybe a bit of painting,gluing and make a replica of mine and putting it on the dashboard, but im unsure if i should do anything to it because its a bit of a collectors item ?

[Spudly]

And its got windows too lol




Some cnuts had your mirrors though:p

[pie]

looks good dude

they got the yellow sr out now to :thumb:

[Pistol Pete]

Didn't think it was possible, but those tyres look fatter than Jacks lol

[LEWI007]

There was a Jamaican yellow SR there but i got the red one as mines red, and you get the mirrors seperatley Spud incase they brake off.

This was the last red one they had, it was on display in the window so i got lucky lol

[LEWI007]

Another thing i noticed was the yellow one was on a D Reg and this ones on a J wtf ??

Is it an SR Look-a-like, or a ringer ? lol lol

[pie]

[Spudly]

Oh you silly boy its a Y reg, i explained this to you a year or so back when you told me your reg was an L :p

[LEWI007]

[pie]

did you take it apart :lol:

[L14MNP]

Same chance of acheiving full lock and the rears constantly scrubbing as your 1:1 scale. lol

[LEWI007]

Yes i took it apart, theres a little plastic bit on the bottom that pops off and then 1 screw holding everything together, little bit of re arraging things and it was lowered.

PMSL at Liam lol

[pie]

did you have to glue or break any thing :lol:

[Keif]

did you take it apart :lol:

Looks like he stood on it. lol

Nova wise I have the McRae "Sport" and the Harry Hockley/Nicky Grist two.

Then there's the rest of the collection.

[pie]

:lol: keif

[LEWI007]

did you have glue or break any thing :lol:

I put a tiny screwdriver on the spoiler to try and pop it off but the spoiler is built in with the boot and the back lights so the whole thing popped off but it clips back in and just needs re-gluing.

If your thinking about doing it to yours dont touch the boot, the bumpers come off aswell and the snowplough, and the seats inside tilt backwards and forwards lol

[mowgli]

i reckon you stood on it to lower it...

[pie]

:lol:

[Jack]

LOL that looks broken now

and also lol @ J reg

[mk1nova_rich]

Edd - Never knew they did a harry hockley one, how come they make a harry hockley one when not that many people have heard of him, but they didnt even do a GSi,GTE..

mine getting a yellow sr for crimbo

[mk1nova_rich]

the quality and detailing of some of these 1:43 models looks utter shoite IMO, especially for the price you're paying

[LEWI007]

:roll:

Look at how many people have heard of a nova GTE and a GSi.

Then look at how many people have heard of harry hockley, im sure theres a big difference.

[Danny s-p]

but it a sport so that y peeps will get it

[MattBrown]

but it a sport so that y peeps will get it


I thought hockleys was an Sr? Decaled up?

[MattBrown]

Im thinking about taking it to bits and changing it, maybe a bit of painting,gluing and make a replica of mine and putting it on the dashboard, but im unsure if i should do anything to it because its a bit of a collectors item ?


Wrong, anything limited edition will never be rare (depending on numbers made)

As 99% of people think "it's rare, I'll keep it, will be worth loads"

It's stuff people buy then bin (novas, old bikes, cars, old computers (some))

Etc, I bought one, because I liked it, not because it's a collectors item.

[LEWI007]

Found a nova saloon on german ebay

http://i.ebayimg.com/23/!C!(qUcw!2k~$(KGrHqN,!mEEz+2VpU04BNCpQK1YGw~~_12.J PG

Matt - i also bought one because i liked it, just wondering if its a good or bad idea to customize it when there isnt soo many nova toys around.

[Danny s-p]

nope

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx20/dannys-p08/IMG00107-20101218-1233.jpg

[LEWI007]
