[elsey197]

no probs :)

Remember when they started developing it, a while back now.

Bonnet looks good in my opinion, but dont like the overall look of that last car.

Also, how strong is the bonnet skin? Since you'd be putting force on the 'bad-boy' extension whilst opening it.

Hmmm, might get one. lol

[olly55]

i like that last car, the bonent looks good too,

the lad that built that last car, john did the bonnet himsefl using quad conversions ka vent n that and the ydecided to take a mould of his bonnet as it was so suited,

mind u his best m8 owns QC as it is lol

i like it but cant work out if im 100% on the vent or not

Comes down too far for me. I prefer more subtle badboy bonnets.

to me the QC bonnet skin doesn't look smooth in that picture. It looks patchy (the reflections are all distorted). Or is it just me?

[Dpnova]

^^^^ Does look a bit odd

Anyone know what headlights these are?

[dave.gsi]

vw polo i think.

could also be bora

[dave.gsi]

must admit it looks O.K on the mk1 and with the polo? lights.

but on a mk2. :o its the crapest piece of pap in the world (behind led jets)

[Mark]

That does not look good!
:(

[Dpnova]

Sorry if thats anyones car but that looks poo

[olly55]

yea they r new polo lights on that

dave - that car above is a mk2 also m8

[dave.gsi]

i know its a mk2. re-read what i wrote :wink:

[Hardie]

Doesn't look to bad imho, does come down a good bit but dif people have dif opinions

personally i wouldn't put it on my nova

[dave.gsi]

i'd hate to drive that nova down a dark country lane :o

there bad enough on light produced without covering up most of the headlamp. :roll:

it'd take a fair bit of cutting down b4 one of them came near my car.

suppose thats the good thing though, theres plenty of material you can play around with to get different shapes and height of bad boy

[Hardie]

True

Would make a very interesting one off bad boy look if you played around with it a lil


I member seeing one in maxy p ages ago, a abad boy btw, which was cut so it was kinda wavy, didnt take my fancy

[?Marty?]

It does look shite on the white one! Looks A LOT lower than on the others!?

edited to add: the flip one would look better if the wheels were not white. Doesn't suit the paint or the look of the car at all.

[Hardie]

The flipped one would look good with massive rims on it, the bodywork is....well....different but the wheels need to be summit special to match

[djp_y2k]

from owing a the quad conversions kit in the past (not the bonnet though)

I always thought the quality was really high. Alot better than most other companies out there.

As for the bonnet. Love cool on Mk1's, but on a mk2 it just doesnt work. covers up way to much of the lights.

The wide arched nova with mk5 polo lights :o :o

I like that loads. If any one has anymore pics of it could they send some to me.

[olly55]

dave i wasnt talking about the white one withthe bonnet skin i ment the flip one it s a mk2 aswell

[Nova_Rz]

dave i wasnt talking about the white one withthe bonnet skin i ment the flip one it s a mk2 aswell

mk2 facelift :?:

[rob_wilkinson]

bonnet looks alright but the wide arch kit and wheels are crap. the angles on the wide arch are to sharp and need to be more smooth.

[?Marty?]

LOVE the fact it's got a huge courtenay sticker on windscreen! lmao

[LARA26]

it has been a nightmare, doesnt fit right and is too close to headlights, better to get bad boy bonnet welded on rather than the skin

[blingmachine]

cant stand the bonet skin, just looks evil

would'nt mind a set of thoes new lights though :D (the one's in the ad)

[Ben3042]

That was on a mk2 astra, looked shite imo

[Hardie]

Yeah that was the one, horrible

[dave.gsi]

spot the (not so) deliberate mistake.


how do you spell courtenay???

[NovaNeil]

I think it looks awesome :twisted: .......... Well I would say that because i've just ordered one to go on my Silver GSi im rebuilding.

[red_devil]

which widearched one u on about lads... mines the one with the front view someone put up... not the one with polo lights...

Do not buy that bonnet skin... it doesn't come wide enough for the bonnet so u still need to blend the edges which crack so i'm having a complete mould making for a bolt on carbon bonnet to be made out of it...

Think they look shite on mild cars but when i fitted mine i admitt it made a nice difference to it...

Don't know if its just my taste but if its preped properly and not just put on and painted then it can look good

_________________

For your information the deliberate mistake isn't a mistake after all, this is my car and the courtney sticker is there because a close friend owns a bodyshop called COURTNEY BODYWORKS, look hard and you might be able to see the rest. as for the bonnet, the comments are harsh but you are right, the bonnet skin form QC is absolutely rubbish, it was warped and completely out of shape. It didn't fit properly and before we cut the bonnet down and bonded it using fibre galss resin we stuck it on using stickerflex as they said to and would you believe it, I hit 60mph and the fooker flew off and landed in the road. It was funny but also annoying bearing in mind that it came from a reputable company and the quality and fit was terrible. any suggestion on what I should possibly do with the bad boy part because it is to deep. oh it doesn't effect the lights that much by the way.

[olly55]

leave it as is if the lights r ok m8, the bad boy is very sevre but i iant never seen another bad boy on a nova like it,

if u mod it at all do it like sum of the fiesta boys do and make the slope smaller / more gentle but keep the length to the extended part if u get me?

[NovaNeil]

I think you just need to change the bumper mate for something a little more aggressive and deeper. I think thats whats making it look dodgey.

[Hardie]

Agree with Neil here, a mean bumper would make its look so much better

[adeyprude]

The plan was to big mouth the front bumper and fabricate some sort of additional part like a splitter for the bottom but I just haven't got round to it yet.

Cheers lads.

[fearless]

Not a lover of badboy extensions - but this one could change my mind

[Hardie]

[Neil.]
