Well I had said a while ago about wrapping nova parts and a few people said they don't think anyone had wrapped alot, I know there's alot of real CF on nova's, but I'm not that rich :)

Anyway, bought a big roll off someone that does vehicle graphics, so today I started wrapping a few things, did the wing mirrors and started on the dash, which looks cack at the moment... So need some more heat and stretching to get all the creases out, must admit it's alot harder than I first thought.

Anyway, only thing I took a picture off today was the drivers mirror, yes I know I got a crease in it, it's from were I assembled it back together.

Opinions please?
And what else do you think would look good, so far I've done, mirrors, door Handles, filler cap, and the dash

That would look awesome if it wasn't for the wrinkles, nice work. Is it just a totally fake pattern then?

I did think about doing it John, but the role would of been £640 +VAT, and the bloke reckoned I wouldn't have been able to do it myself, his fitting fees were also £160, expensive!!

And Iain I'll be re-doing that one tomorrow, I rushed it as I needed to be somewhere, the other one looks spot on tho,

Ive been debating what else to wrap, I bought 1.5m x 20m, I'm thinking about bonnet and roof lol and also the sr wrap around spoilers :)

Window surrounds would look cool, an the 1/4 window bars, maybe do the boot where it would have vinyl on if it was a GTE/GSi?

Not a bad go though mate.

Cheers Scott, you know the boot idea, do you reckon just a strip across or get something cut out, like "Nova 1.6" like the SR's have it on kinda thing?

Was thinking of tedious things like the rubber bits around the door locks, window handles etc.

As yours is a mk1 i would do it like they have (as in full) but then get some graphics made to put on it in the same style as the lettering/words/numbers, i would cut it out mate.

And I defiantly like the idea of that Scott, when I have the time and patience to do it, then that'll be a job to do.

Rear view looks quite cool, like that idea, freshens it up a bit!

wrapping is a right pain in the ass but looks cool, keep up the good work mate, it's going to all look great when finished, any pics of the dash ???
