Sounds good to me.

The engines - go for the XE if you want quick/easy power. But the 1.6 16valver is better for being less weight, and can be tuned up to give as much power as the bigger XE lump.

Also, it would have been better to provide a link to the pictures and this prob should really be in the styling section of the forum.
But i guess you're still new to the site, and i dont know how it literate you are, so i'll let you off. Coz i'm nice like that.

Apart from the yellow teeth, but doc lock has helped me out with that.

If your on about the yellow nova that was in the album yesterday with dark alessio's, I would say leave the outside as it is, that is one of my most favorite nova's around, saw it at the national day last year and loved it!!! Just tried to find it in the album again and the album's have gone!!!! Got some pics of it at home i think...

As for engine stick a C20let turbo engine in it, you know you wanna!!!

Nice leather re-trim would look nice in it, or go for the stripped out and cage'd look...

I rekon leave the outside as it is because your can looks mint and a nice dark leather retrim would really finish it off :D

Raaah thats really nice! Just how they should be :D

Plleeeease don't do a facelift or put 17's on it.. I'm begging you!

Nice retrim would be cool though and an engine conversion.. Id be tempted to keep the 8v and mod that on a car like that.

Yeah Jamaica yellow was like custard and the other colour was like mustard. I really like the phase 1 lower bumper spoiler on a saloon upper bumper with a GTE grille. Anthracite wheels set these off a treat. I like andys ideas are the best. StRipped, cage n LET.

Love that Nova, saw it at the shows this year (and last) and it's sweet, not sure about the plates though, think they'd look better with motorbike sized letters on a plain car plate but that's just my opinion, also don't stick 17"s on it or facelift it - It looks nice as it is (Again that's just my opinion!!)
:D
