Maybe real, maybe not.

No one even saw work in progress pics of it tho.

The 'Bomex bumper' (not actually a bomex one tho) was a photoshopped version. He was supposed to be selling copies of a mould he was supposed to take of it once it was cut 'n' shut and modified to fit the Nova to people. Was taking orders in advance, for February or something. Did anyone actualy buy it!? I remember there was a LOT of interest in it, and he was going to limit the number to 8 pieces.

Interesting ideas neverless.

I was first to put my name down

never heard any thing this side of 2002. Although some one on RB spoke to him a month or so ago to buy his R5 Nova arches

With a picture of them as proof

IIRC the R5 arches he made he did take a pic of but they never went on the car as he changed his mind about them.

Like i said to Will the other day - someone working here knows him and confirmed the story of it being mangled by a forklift truck ripping its forks through the car including the engine block. Must have hit it at some speed to do that damage though. I never prompted the guy to tell me all this info, he just noticed i was into nova's and started talking about this lad he knew called Matt who spent months modifying one really nicely only to have it scrapped.

there was only ever a picture of one arch compleated, but i know he had changed his mind about fitting them

Cant see why you would lie about it. IT always seemed above board even though no pictures were never posted.

Would of really liked to have seen it though, as it looked wicked (unless it was K in disguise coz he is building a soft top :?: :?: ) or maybe not :lol:

according to the guy i work with it was shown at something to do with max power just before it was mangled by the FLT, so ther emay be a pic of it somewhere.
