hi all im trying to decide (once again) what colour todo my nova mk2 3dr hatch its flame pink as standard but ive always hated flame pink but its an opition just to get the car done, anywho the colours me and my mrs have agreed on are red, straight black, vxr arden blue or arden blue with a blue pearl over as advised by a vauxhall painter.
also the cars going tobe std look standard mk2 bumpers, no side skirts just nice sills, no spoiler etc, just lowerd, wheels and an exhaust on the exterior.
let me know what you think.

I don't think black suits a Nova with basic spec bumpers, even if painted to match (upgrading a to a GSi front bumper and smoothing the rear one out will do the trick though). I would go either red or blue, with red being my favourite - probably due to the fact a red MK2 was the first car I bought myself, but I do think red suits the grey bumpers well.

I've always had a soft spot for Red Nova's

I really like Audi Misano Red. It's got a nice pearl to it but you can't really tell until you are up close! Very bright and subtle.

The new flame red you get one Corsa VXR is very nice.

Feel free to add pics people,
Oh and the bumpers will be painted either colour coded or a nice grey but that's dependant on the colour of the car.
Cheers rick

I just said full spec not a stickered up replica, can't fault the look of Wardy's car imo
