sorry to break the trend but i'd leave it off.
I like them smooth looking and all one colour but whatever you do it'll look nice anyways as you've got a nice car and both suit it.
just my opinion to have it off.
cheers

Dave
Just to throw another option in for you
Keep the vinyl and smooth the gate :D
i did it with my Old Gte and it came out spot on
http://members.aol.com/daz9124/blackdog1.jpg
I should have stuck the Gte sticker back on but i never got round to it
Vinyl gets my vote :D
cant decide. i think it depends on the colour of the car. think it looks rubbish left on white but good on red.
who's car is it for dave and colour, pic would help more.
i personally dont like it..unless its on a black nova lol
but, its up to you, if you like it, then keep it, modding is all about individuality after all :D

23-01-04, 09:03 PM
^^ dont see the point in that darren.
its a black car/black vynil
why didnt you just paint it because from that picture you cant tell its vynil
dave.gsi
23-01-04, 09:04 PM
not for anyones car in particular sean.
just a general discussion :wink:
Aye it's a bad pic but the only one ive got from the rear
The Vinyl wasn't jet black it just looks like that in the pic, the plan was to be different as at the time id not seen another done in that way (Smoothed with Vinyl)
then if thats the case...........
no answer!

i would say it definately depends on the colour, i mean you would'nt keep the vynal if you had flip paint. If its a standard vaux colour then i say keep it as thats how it was meant to be, but if you hav a different colour then definately remove it.
But then again.......oh fcukit i don't know :lol:

Would you believe the vinyl came from MSPORT in cock-ermouth (Malcolm wilson) The guy who puts the stickers on the WRC cars done it for me, only charged me 8 Stella :lol:
Any GOOD sign wrighter's will be able to sort you out at a reasonable price, dont pay Vaux prices as im shure i heared they wanted ?80 and abouve just for the vinyl...........

Well i was gonna say keep it on, but u used my car as an example of it off! lol
But i was thinking of putting it onto mine? But i'd need to get a new grab handle as mines colour coded.
But i think i'll love, keep it on the GSI's to keep them original. But depends on the colour of other Novas if you choose to fit ;)

id say keep it! but with a smooth gate, like this photoshop i did a while ago
http://img2.photobucket.com/albums/v11/gary_white/photoshops/mod1redgtemmodsmodsmoothslam.jpg
i luv it. will be puttin the vinal back on the purple one.
Didnt pepe have a smooth tailgate with vinal on??
?Marty?
24-01-04, 04:50 PM
the ACTUAL answer IS it DEPENDS on what the rest of the car is.
Would look stupid in some cases and good in others.
Are there any other (dark) bits that it will complement/match?
Stanton
24-01-04, 04:51 PM
nope.
was jus dewipered i think
Looks good on the red one but looks well good without it on the blue one

to de-vynal a nova is like to de-respect it.
i say on. especially on light coloured models.
its a phase; vynal will be back and it'll stay. period mod it is. the book of epo says a de-vynalled nova will be worth aproximately ?300-?500 less than a nova with it on.
oh and...
'epo for president'..
Stanton
24-01-04, 08:24 PM
^^^^ well sed.
if u want a new lookin car get a saxo. if not, get a vinaled 80s box - a nova
to me thats part of wot the car is, but its down to your own opinion (keep it on) :lol:
dave.gsi
24-01-04, 09:32 PM

25-01-04, 02:11 AM
I think that the vynal shuld stay as it sets the gsi appart from the rest of the nova models. that is unless you are going down the lines of big bumpers etc.
ON
IMO It depends on the colour of the car. If it's a standard colour, it looks better with it ON..............
But if it's a fangled respray, definitely OFF (see K ROBINSON'S FOR AN EXAMPLE!)
lol, you cant even spell president :lol:
:oops:
id had a bit 2 drink by then :lol:

25-01-04, 02:34 PM
Im stuck on this 1 but i think it makes the car look smarter by taking the vinyl off! I like the nova with vinyl on but i think they look better without it in some cases-depends on the colour i suppose and the styling.
Voted OFF! lol
