Personally for me the wheels don't suit it somehow.

What sort of look are you aiming for and have you Novas in mind that you'd like it to be similar to?

[Davidn]

It's cause it sets too high, I think i'll lower it 60 mm it's only 40 mm the now.

[novadave24]

if was mine I would do sr / gte rep mate :thumb:

[mowgli]

apart from a rear hatch spoiler, i don't think i'd change too much

[Davidn]

I've already got a SR front end on it :)

[meritlover]

what a lovely car with horrible wheels you have.

[Davidn]

I'm not sure if I want to put a spoiler on it , I like the wheels I just need it lower lol

[novadave24]

Sr rep then does need a sr /gte spoiler

[novadave24]

and a 3inch exhaust with a rolled lip ;)

[Davidn]

I could get a SR/GTE spoiler easily but I'm not sure lol

[bazzap8389]

I like the car I'm just not a fan of the wheels mate

[Davidn]

i like the wheels :) but i think it needs to be lower though tbh

[turbojolt]

needs slamming on some new gaz ultra low coilovers......................................... ...ohhh hang on I have some for sale ;)

[Davidn]

I think i'll go 60mm soon

[millworm]

Get a wrap around mk1 spoiler and buy my coilovers and wheels ;)

[Davidn]

was wanting it to look something like this http://www.justopelvauxhall.com/album.php?albumid=94&attachmentid=728

[millworm]

Can't see for some reason I was banned for jov for no reason lol

[Davidn]

i'll try and find another photo for u

[jimbob-mcgrew]

the intra lux alloys you have there at the side, are seriously cool in my opinion.
id be fitting those back on, and getting some amber indicators, and thats about all id do personally.

in addition : if you wanna go fast : upgrade the brakes, upgrade the suspension, upgrade the tyres, upgrade the engine and gearbox, upgrade the exhaust, fit anti-roll bars..... (basically spend a shed-load of cash)

[Kev Turbo]

Get those wheels propped up against the wall fitted!

[Nutty Nova]

If it was mine i would go for wrap around spoiler, do wheels in a gun metal grey, drop it on coilovers.
Think the tyre profile is too high thats what make them look so big.

[Benn]

For me,

I'd lower it more, debadge it, Clear/smoked repeters, remove that sh*te sticker in the window.
Mk1 rear spoiler and a nice exhaust.

Not a fan of the wheels, but went lowered it will look better.

[Davidn]

Thanks for the feed back guys, I know a lot of people don't like the wheels but I do lol . I defo going to get it lower and debadge it. Still not sure if I should buy a spoiler or not.

[Iain]

SR wraparound would look pretty sweet once it's lowered

[Davidn]

Anyone think it looks better now?

[jimbob-mcgrew]

looks the same ?

[bazzap8389]

The vauxhall badge is gone. Tell you what though, it looks really clean mate.

[Davidn]

the first pictures were from when I was trying them on and had only two of the fan blade alloys on it, the wheels now have new tyres fiited and it looks a bit lower at the front I think now

[Davidn]

Thanks Bazzap8389 :) I'm going to put the Vauxhall badge back on as the paint is too faded and even when u polish it it's no different :(

[bighed]

Wheels are always a personal style imoh. I just can't understand why they would fit wheels that only look right (in your case) on the passenger side as the drivers side will spin backwards if you know what I mean.


oh, nice car btw!!!

[Davidn]

I like the wheels and I know others don't, I wanted to be a bit different from other novas as will quite a lot of them have speedlines and 3 spoke sr alloys. I get what u mean when ones side looks like they are spinning backwards lolol

[millworm]

Get a de wiper on the back and wheels work just maybe not in that colour

[Southie]

Sometimes different won't always be better, the alloys on a nova are always a nightmare due to the crÃ*p offset.

[Davidn]

Tbh they look a lot better when u see in real life lol

[Southie]

Tbh they look a lot better when u see in real life lol
I've seen them on Astras, they look better lol

[Davidn]

They were on my dads pal mk3 astra van and its looked minted but he sold the van and took the wheels off it to keep incase he bought another vauxhall, but managed to convince him to sell me them lol. I agree they do look better on astras!

[blue_peg_16v]

Big block

[Davidn]

Nah staying a 1.2 lol, I like it's a 1.2 with a 5 speed gearbox

[Davidn]

took some photos last night at my work, it sits better now it's not on the drive way which is uneven lol

Very nice clean example you got there, crying out for a let/xe and some nicer wheels though.
