[Stanton]

[Ben]

They dont work at all.

[Stanton]

y not, nethin fits m8, jus down to time.

[Stanton]

or is it the look?

[olly55]

i think its the look bens reffering too the rears wud look abit odd, abit ugly if u like,

sum1 on here was trying to do it ages ago but it never came to much i dont think

[DazK]

just found this pic on my PC.., anyone got any better pics of GTT arches fitted to a nova :?:

all depends on the whole styling package u go for with the car, i personally think it "could" look good :|

[Stanton]

cant see a pic m8

[Stanton]

lol i can now :?

[Neil.]

it could look ok but you'll need wheels that fill the arches other wise they'll just make the wing look too wide.

[olly55]

do u mean fil lthe arches as in size like 17/18 or do u mean fill it as in how much it sits out in the arch liek a higher offset / spacer sprta thing?

looks ok, but the rear might look gash, i was looking into using saxo arch trims at one stage b4 i had me mind blowing idea i choopd sum to fit the front and it lookd rude, sorta rounded square

i may have something to that description for sale lol

as for the gt arches, it could look good but i'd be scepticle of ruining the standard nova arches by slapping something over the top :?

it'd be like having two different style arches on one wing

[olly55]

and the first thing that catches most nova owners eye wen the ybrought there 1st one was the shape of the arhces

[Neil.]

i meant as in width, like there is no point doing a wide arch kit if ur not having a wide track kit aswell, looks stupid.

[Stanton]

didnt sumone manage it on a white car? has anyone got ne pics of that car?

how much u rekon a set of gtt arches will set me bak?

[Jim]

Personnaly I think altering the Nova arches is a crime! The Nova arches is one of the main styling features to the car and what makes the Nova distinguishable from other hatches of that era. At the end of the day, it's up to you though.

I think it looks cool. 8)

Would love to se a Nova with those arches on. :D

And as NOva said, get some wide wheels or just some wide spacers, to fill out the arches. :wink:

[Ste_Nova]

there was a car at trax 1996 with a full gtt arch kit on... think it was red with black chequers

[Jules]

Front arches look OK, but the rears would look a right mess.

[dangermousegsi]

kinda wondering off topic slightly but didnt dawsons put nova arches on a 5 turbo? if they did it it then it could work

[dave.gsi]

nova arches on an R5.

have also seen rear nova arches on a citroen AX

[Mark]

Is it just me or does that just look wrong? Don't like it.

[wisewood]

i reckon that renault looks better with the nova arches than without.
but then again, i love those arches.

[Ian]

pete r of fmig has put nova arches on the rear of his mk2 astra

[olly55]

there was a 205 in southend that had nova arches fitted to it

[Jim]

Is it just me or does that just look wrong? Don't like it.

Agreed.

Thats the Ruggeri kit for 205s.

[?Marty?]

^^^ yeah was going to say that too.

Think it'd look shit with GTT arches on a Nova, especially if fitted to the 'quatro' style wings. If you fitted 'flat' wings, then it'd look better.

[olly55]

nope i dont mean the ruggeri kit that used to b o na pink 205 doin the rounds rhese r gen GM arches as it was doen at the bodyshop that i use,

the ruggeri r really slight nova arches but longer these r bonafidey gm arches as i saw it bein created!

lookd odd tho liek the r5

[Philsutton]

I think its wrong to try an make a nova look like anything the french made.

[Dpnova]

Thats r5 doesnt look that bad with nova arches :roll:
