MY CAR IS SLOWLY TURNING INTO A 2L 16V. ITS GOT BODYKIT ON AT MOMENT BUT I HAVE THIS ON GOING THOUGHT IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD OF GETTING RID OF KIT AND WHEELS AND JUST PUTTING GSI KIT ON WITH 16'S. DUNNO IF THE COLORS ARE GONNA WORK WITH IT THO. I THINK I PREFER THE CLEAN TIDY STANDARD LOOK. SUBTLE. I GOT EXCITED ABOUT THE KIT UNTILL I FOUND OUT WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS THRY ARE TO DRIVE. WAT DO U LOT THINK

I really like the look of your car, I don think the colours would suit a standard gsi though.

nah mate keep the bodykit
i know im probably gunna get ranted at for this but
i think that too many people are going for the clean a tidy look
even thow im going that way my self your car is nicely modded
not OTT like the kingdom or bad boys kit & at the end of the day
your car is unique and aint that what moding's about......

I ALSO HAVE A THING ABOU THE EURO LOOK. I HAVE SOLD MY CHEVETTE AND BOUGHT A MINI I PARK IT BESIDE MY NOVA AND THE WHEELS ARE ASKING TO BE SWAPPED IF ONLY THE STUD PATTERN WAS THE SAME. a NOVA WITH 12 INCH REVELUTIONS ON IT
AND A MINI WITH 17'S ON IT

LAST ONE IS A BIT UNLIKELY BUT I COULD MAKE THEM FIT :twisted:

at least agree the back bumper has to go unless anyone wants to buy it suggest a price

Keep it mate, the whole car works. Although alot of people are against big body kits, yours looks real good and is unique.

I say keep it as it is. And the back bumper. Your car is realy nice, would be a shame to rip it to bits.

sling the rear bumper...but the rest of the car looks ok from what i can see in your sig.

don't think the colour(s) would suit the standard look either...

all the best

On the contrary, i think the colours WOULD suit a standard (smoothed) Gsi look.

I would only not do it as it'd be a waste of the money you already spent. I also have gone the big kit way, and even tho it doesn't look like it's been stuck on with velcro, if my car gets vandalised/rusts/is fucked up, i will probably ditch the kit and fit standard gsi stuff before i re-spary it. But only if i keep it. Otherwise, i'll keep the kit as it would sell easier. People read MxP and want to follow the trends and etc.

if we talking smooth then maybe it would...that aint really standard tho IMO.

tbh its hard to 'guess' isn't it

keep the kit mate, your car has a good orginal vibe, putting a gsi kit on it would make it look lik every other gsi around. maybe change rear bumper though

Tidy nova's are the only way... Kill all aftermarket bodykits...
