Hi all,

does anyone on here know who the manufacturer of the air intake that sits at the front of the bonnet on this nova pic is? it directs air alongside the underside on the bonnet at releases it into the vasinity of the intake. i have seen it fitted to Bogies nova and the red 1400 nova that is often out in the north east on rallies, any info greatly appreciated ;)

There for a Corsa, never actually designed for a Nova. I got mine from HHMS & it certainly was not cheap either :/

If you run throttle bodies, to make the most of the intake kit, get a sealed airfilter box as the intake is designed so that when the bonnet is closed it mates upto said air box giving in effect a ram air intake.

Ive got lots of parts awaiting replication. Just cant be bothered at the minute as busy doing other stuff lol had a rather hefty over haul through out christmas though & got lots of new parts to introduce into sale so we'll see what happens.

I would certainly be interested in one of these kits and if you could do it half the price of HHMS then im sure you would be able to sell a few, how much are you after for your bonnet mike and would it be difficult to literally hack it out or you done a proper job??
