Pic request-Nova with Cav Expression/Astra GTE champion wheels

[Edd]

Got some Cav Expression alloys lined up

Thinking I'll paint the rim bit of the wheels silver and the centre spinet bits a mat gray colour to match the lock surrounds, door handles and sill stripes

Opinions please, will they suit a Sport ?

Think most people will say more so than the polished 14's lol

So has any one got pics of Nova's with Cav Expressions/ astra gte champion wheels on ?

Prefer mk1's but any will do :)

Off current topic, I've tried for a few days to try and start the Sport up with no joy :( hopefully when I get home tonight :roll:

That is a genuine Nova Sport, its Andy Hills old one and I think John H has it now.
They are Irmscher wheels Andy got when they were clearing out stock at Pentagon Vauxhall.
I had the black version I bought new from Germany. They were meant for the Sport but I stupidly sold them when I got the Sprint kit

Are you sure as this was a C20xe car wasnt it? Always wanted to own that car, looked awsome:d

[Novasport]

Yes it was definitely a genuine Sport. It was converted to a C20XE though :(
When he first had the car it had the early nineties Astra GSi rally car decals on it. It was the red, blue and yellow flying chips all up the side, looked good aswell.

[dan16v]

Wonder if he wants to sell it lol

[mk1nova_rich]

Cav Expressions are different to Champion alloys...the Champion wheels have a deeper dish so to speak. I knew a lad who had a black Mk1 Astra with them on - black centres and a polished rim, looked very good. So I imagine if you have a fairly subtle grey/anthracite for the centres it would work very well

[Novasport]

Yes, the Champion and Irmscher cross spokes are a different casting to the Expression ones. The spokes finish further away from the rim on the Champ/Irmscher rims to enable to rims to be diamond cut.

Andy took the engine and box out for his mk2 astracab, he kept the wheels and some other bits and i bought what was left.

[KDB]

Good looking wheels, how easy are they to find?

[Pistol Pete]

Not very IIRC.

[SRimon]

I've still got your old set Edd.
