[SRimon]

Great finish!

[Balley]

That looks lovely!

[novaa]

I have the car finished now put yellow trim around bumpers fitted cd player and new mats. I would like it a little lower at the back, will put up some better pictures later in the week

[Subtle modder]

Looks damn nice and quite questionably one of the best colours they came in but maybe ive read wrong, youve reshelled your genuine GSi into a 1.2 shell and logbook and therefore ran out all the value? :(

[Rab]

[NathanKirkpatrick]

When you thinking of letting this loose? Who owns the GTE never seen that about or this before. Looks nice

[novaa]

The GTE has no mot and will not be out this year. Should I leave the centres blue or change the colour? and what about putting GSI stickers on the doors?

[NathanKirkpatrick]

[NathanKirkpatrick]

I didn't leave the hotel till 6.00 this evening. I would have popped over to get a look at your nova.. My Nova is still sitting in the garage awaiting a day to get booked in with the sprayer. Have to call him tomorrow and see what date he wants the car dropped to him so I'm praying some time this week. I'll try get some pictures of her tomorrow but she's sitting the all stripped out sitting on a set of crappy wheels lol...

[jafanan]
