[monty_trials]

Hay PNG peeps

I bought my nova only less than a week ago, it was the one advertised on here and was on ebay. I am sure you will recognize it!!!

Was owned by Glen Langridge, known as shorty249 on here, also a VERY trustworthy seller!!! So if you see him selling on here or ebay, you wont go wrong!!!!!!

Well guys let me tell you!!! Its a car and a half!!!! I drove it over 100 miles back from mid Wales to North Wales, and it didnt miss a beat!! Ive been driving it everyday, and I have not touched my other car once!!! I am a bit scared that I am going to wear it out :(
It drives sweet as a nut!!! Starts first time, and omg does it fly!!! As its a 1.4 it actually drives more like a fast astra 1.6, or on the similar lines!!

Its had a lot of work done to the body, and a full respray. Looks loads better in real life, as the pics don't do it any justice!!

I want to make it a bit more original looking, as I am thinking of doing is the following.......So this is where I need your opinions :)
Put the original blue SRI seats in. <as it just has standard blue was at the mo, nothing wrong with them just want it original>
Original Nova 3 spoke alloys. <as its on Corsa sports now>
SRI decals on both doors. What color do I get for white? Is it black or the gray??
The "Nova, Vauxhall, 1.4, and SRI" on the tail gate. Anyone have these for sale???
The original Vauxhall badge on the bonnet, again does anyone have one for sale?
Oh it needs a rear window wiper arm, not important but again its to make look original.

Now this is the part I am not sure on??????? Do I or dont I put the vinyls and door strips back on? Ive got the door strips, but will need to get all the bottom half vinyls and window pillars etc.

So guys tell me your thoughts please please

Oh and I will add my png sticker when I join in a few days time lol :)

back to factory standard best , sri hard to get now and having a white one be nice, you need to get grey/blue vinyl's all round, original sr/sri blue seats not be hard to get if you have standard blue in all you will need is the front seats , even if you get second hand bonnet badge for now new badges hard to get , check ebay making sure you get the correct badges to suit your car ,

My opinion, make it look just like this..

I think factory can just be a bit boring. Unless you go down the mega mint concourse route.. Which hardly anyone does.

Just do a few choice mods to make it nice and then drive it and enjoy it.

woooooow I like the idea of both, Ie like the SRI badge on the front....But ye the 3 spoke alloys are a DEFO!!!
Do I get the side skirts or not? Plus are the vinyls hard to fit? I am fairly mechanical minded etc, never fitted vinyls before tho.....Is it hard to do? Or is it like a big sticker that you only get one chance at? lol Ye the blue bumper strips are a defo!!!!

Keep the opinions and pics coming guys!!!!! :) :)

[kbnova]

no skirts for sure, a local graphic shop maybe make you a set of vinyl up, check on ebay theres a guy selling mk1 , email him see if he can make the newer blue/grey vinyl, sri door badge easy to get, from dealer or opel classic parts. keep as standard as you can, everyone fit the same alloy making all novas look similar speedlines etc

Personally i would get the lower section painted, have a matting agant added to the mix to look like vynal.

[raymond]

put the original steel wheels on if your going back standard root

Best way, We're just done Sharon SR's Nova the same, the painted grey looks so much better and you can wax it to look after it.
