it is logged a 2.0,the owner is 27 lol,can assure you guys with a f20 box and no real diff the tyres are lighting in every gear,it is a bit mad ! running around 280bhp but i have no proof of this,204bhp feels quick in a nova !

Not a bad looking car TBH. But IMO the plug cover needs to be a different colour!

Looks nice, even the bodykit doesn't offend me :tard: lol

But I'm sure that inexperience + 280bhp Nova = tears lol

Have to say ive never seen this car before, either online or at the shows etc. Where abouts in scotland are you?

I love the bigmough front, but find there was never a sideskirt that suited it. Not keen on the rear bumper or backbox, but nice car none the less.

Oh and your keen valeting a car in this weather, when the water is freezing on as your washing it, you know its a loosing battle!!

Way up north mate,john o groats!

To be honest mate i;m a professional detailer,i didn't want to mention this as i know some forums take a dim view of posting up paid work,however i took this exception to show of what i think is a nice nova and won't be mentioning anything more about my work,jusy showing of the enthusiasts car.

I agree with the backbox and rear bumper to be fair!
