If it was originally silk violet I could live with the colour, but to reprint a black gsi in metallic pink is just wrong! Lol

Interesting approach to have totally plated over the box sections on the floor covering the drainage holes. Wish I had totally stripped mine and put it on a spit, looks so much easier than lying under the car on axle stands.

Chay84
07-09-12, 09:25 AM
I'm happy with it apart from the few mechanical faults,

hardly pink Will (maybe you were the person at school that coloured in Santa with a brown pen)lol

Don't think they're drainage holes mate.

Nice build, reminds me of mine(minus the spit), fook doing that again! don't beat yourself up over the small issues, they are small at the end of the day!

does the sunroof drainage pipes not drain into them box sections though?

imo it would look better if you loose the front splitter and put the sideskirts back to stock grey colour

iirc the colour is slightly off being Silk Violet as when the previous owner got the paintmix it reacted with another colour that was left over :(

I hope you got some extra paint for touching up the Nova :eek:

I think they are piped down the c pillar and out the floor behind the rear lights mate.

I agree about the splitter and skirts but if you like it, that's all that matters.

1. Fit new headlights and indicators
2. Fit gutter trim
3.Get to the bottom of oil leak
4. Get skirts painted black??
5. Hopefully get some new suspension

02-01-13, 11:22 AM
Thats a mint GSi lad.
Would definitely do the skirts in oem grey finish, would also put on a set of astra mk4 mudflaps. Also needs a GSi grill badge. But there only small things haha really nice car though.
What happened the GSi front seats? Looked mint

Chay84
02-01-13, 02:37 PM
Cheers baz aye no prob mate anytime,

Murph I'm on the case at getting the skirts painted but would prefer to get a set that's not been painted,

a gsi badge would be nice but can't fine one anywhere which is a pain in the ****,

front seats are in the Shetlands there was no room in car when it came over in the ferry

bazzap8389

We used to go to college at LAGTA, bumped into him once at Crail since we finished our apprenticeships.

Stuart Fulcher, used to speak occasionaly on Bebo/MSN but no one uses either anymore, dont think i've seen him on Facebook.

When we were at college he worked for Mackie motors at the time.

I think it was a 'it'll never be for sale' scenario, might have changed over time.

Have you tried vauxhall for the skirts? Would be worth a shot.

Have tried mate and have looked all over net

Finders crossed some will pop up soon was gonna get the ones on car painted but would look better unpainted IMO

Looks much better on the comps mate, have you thought about painting the skirts in Upol mid grey ? It's a good match for standard grey vauxhall plastic and is pretty hard wearing and easy to use mate

Weren't this the one that was up for sale for about 6k?
Imo massive mistake to change the colour, that's a none vauxhall colour, looks more like a bmw on Nissan colour.
Don't get me wrong I love silk violet as I use to have one, but it would of been better in original black, shame.

Nice car though.

Is is a shame mate I love a black gsi but I'm not fussed I just wanted another nova that was solid, I have just had the roof repainted cause the paint reacted , next time I will have to get whole car painted cause I will struggle for a colour match,

I had a 1/4 tin left mate and it was more than enough got enough to paint up one side again next time I think I will just get a full respray with a off the shelf colour lol

The painter was superb tho he's a busy guy restoring old jags but he managed to fit me in :)
