They will need sized down so Andy can you help please?

[Dare-devil]

Looks good. :wink:

[linzTDI]

why thankyou

i think it looks a different car now compared to the pics in my feature

[Dare-devil]

Yeah totally..!!


Is that rust in your inner arch, and has your grill been broken..???

[linzTDI]

yip grill is broken sent for new one of that FInlay but that came broken and i never got a refund so i had to try and mesh and fix that one.

Its a total rust bucket so yeah that probably is rust :lol:

[Dare-devil]

Ok crap..


Then maby you should rename your Nova "Rusty" insted of "baby Beast" :P

Only joking. Looks good. Keep it up :wink:

[linzTDI]

ok thanks

[Dpnova]

Linz That look really good, im actually suprised how good it looks :D

[linzTDI]

oh thats well what did u expect it to look like

[Dpnova]

I didnt expect such a god colour match and i dont think ive seen a abyis (SP?) in white, it looks really good :D

[linzTDI]

there is a slight difference in the colour match as my car has went lightly yellow with itme but its got all condensation on there so you cant tell much well you cant really tell anyways

[Dpnova]

Still looks good though

[wisewood]

just needs some nice smoothed skirts - and some wheels with the correct fitment ;)

// images resized now linz

[Ste_Nova]

is that a front bumper like ians?

[linzTDI]

whos ian?

[dave.gsi]

yes, its a rip off version of the bat bumper

[linzTDI]

no its not :x

[dave.gsi]

so you got it from bat?

[linzTDI]

no its a fushion bumper you can get them from a few places but i got mine from supernovas

[dave.gsi]

so i was right then?
the fusion front bumper is a rip off bat bumper

[linzTDI]

look am not gonna get into an argument with you about it i dont see why u have to be so negative why not just say looks like a bat bumper rather than the rip off version i paid ?175 for that and i am proud of it and everyone else seems to like it so i would appriciate it if you would keep your negative comments to yourself

[Dpnova]

Whats the quality like linz and whats the difference in price :?:

[linzTDI]

i dont know what the difference is i never seen a bat bumper.
The quality is quite good better than the abyss which was damaged when i recieved it but body shop repaired it. I've had a couple of scrapes when going down multi stories or over speed bumps but its held out fine

[dave.gsi]

i didnt say i didnt like it and if something 'looks like a bat bumper' then its a 'rip off bat bumper' just a different way of saying things

i wasnt trying to put you down for buying the cheap version (i would myself), i was just answering stes question from the previous page

[linzTDI]

well whats a bat bumper and how much is it

[dave.gsi]

heres a geniune (and ridiculusly expensive) batsport 1 bumper

http://www.batmotorsport.co.uk/nova_front.jpg

[Dpnova]

I just got that pic to upload it, you beat me to it. Do you know how much that one costs

[wisewood]

he is right linz - sorry... but it is a rip off of the bat bumper.
an almost exact copy in fact.
actually at first i thought it was (hence the email asking what it was)

[linzTDI]

that dont look like its sittng properly as the distance from the front of the bumper to the floor and the end where the wheel arch is looks different so how much is one of those

[dave.gsi]

dont know, from what i remember its cracking on ?300 :o

[Dpnova]

300 for that or 175 for the copy, hmmmm

[linzTDI]

well mines better :lol: :lol:

[dave.gsi]

well mines better

no its not. would you rather wear gola trainers or reebok. even if they were identical. i know what i'd pick












only messin, id buy the fusion one over the bat too :wink:

[wisewood]

you cant really compare the branding of trainers to buying a bumper :lol:
its like with adidas and "addastripes" you wouldnt touch the ones with 4 stripes over the adidas ones...

but with the bumpers there is no branding.

[Ste_Nova]

whos ian?

Classic 8)

[Ste_Nova]

[linzTDI]

[Dpnova]

Thats ians

[Will]

ians, lmfao, u ian storey, admin etc etc, pay attention :P

p.s. thats the proper bumper, pmsl

p.p.s im only mucking abt car looks good, get some skirts on and lower it a bit more

will

[Ben]

We has a bumper the same as that on a pink car we had, it was a AB styling one wich cost ?155 as we had the recipt for it. Was excellent quality.

I belive Bat stopped making the Bat1 bumper anyhow.

And there only a cut and shut mould of another manufacturers bumper anyhow.

[linzTDI]

its never been lowered and cant with those wheels on i do want skirts if i keep it.
I dont know who ian is sorry

[Tilly]

Yeah Bat 1 has stopped being made. Bat 2 is available still


and i'm sure Bat 3 is being designed as we speak.


Doesnt look to bad linz not keen on the abyss rear though but thats MY OPINION

[linzTDI]

i didnt like any of the other rears the fushion is too plain and dont like the novadose so it had to be that one

[Jim]

Linz, dont get so upset. When you post pictures of your car asking people what they think, you have to be prepared for some negative comments. Naturally your car isn't going to be to everyones taste, so dont be surprised when people make comments.

It looks ok. The front bumper does look alot like the BAT bumper, theres nothing you can say or do to change that fact.

Personnaly I'd look at lowering the car. If you can't because the Alloys are the wrong offset then my advice is to sell the aLloys as soon as possible and get some with the correct offset. I've been in this predicament before and the wrong offset alloys from a styling point of view cause nothing but hassle. They stop you from lowering the car and taking passengers. My rear tyres use to catch on the rear arches if i was in the car on my own and went along a piece of road that might have had a small dip in it. It's very annoying and in the long run caused me a lot of grief.

At the end of the day, it's your car, so do what makes you happy.

Jim

[Will]

get the right offset rims, 60mm drop and skirts lovely :P :D

bat 1 is no longer made as the mould was broken and they never made a new one, no clue abt bat 3 bumper but will be interesting to see it :D

will

[linzTDI]

yeah i know what your saying.
i am still unsure about me keeping the car so i dont want to be spending alot more money on it for new wheels. I aint got no intensions on doing anything else to it until after xams and i have my house

[Tilly]

My wheels are the wrong offset aswell, but ive been told they look alright so im gonna leave mine.
What are the offset linz?

[linzTDI]

i have no idea at all the wheels havent even got a make :o I was told off the garage i would need spacer to sort them but i would need them speaically made with the wheels being unknown

[wisewood]

Bat 3 bumper will probably show up in its one of a kind prototype form on ians latest nova adventure.

[Ben]

lol @ bat portotype Ians car.

[krobinson]

Its almost like partners in chrime... only its for the good of the Nova...

lol

I'm quite looking forward to seeing Ian's/bats latest creation! I've always liked the previous car's!

Keith

[?Marty?]

[dave.gsi]

[SupaNovaBoyRacer]

[Jules]

[linzTDI]

lookin sweet...only thing i will say is that bumper mesh is lookin like tin foil,put sum tidy mesh in ther and it will look tidy as f**k

That mesh cost me a bomb and is great quality looks funny from different angles but i am pleased with it and i wouldnt want to be taking it off to mesh it again for sure

[Biaggi]

Good work!

[linzTDI]

[jkhilton]

I've been in this predicament before and the wrong offset alloys from a styling point of view cause nothing but hassle.

John

[Nova-Boy]

[Nova-Boy]
