dont put the quadconversions bonnet on. it looks crap

[dan_mk1]

get rid of the 17's, get a set of 15's and lower it humanly possible!
sounds good mate!

If you want to go "euro" then you must have 13/14's wheel's and lowered about 80/60mm ( 80mm in the front and 60mm in th rear ), and everything smoothed ( handels, locks and bumpers ).. And no splitter on. :wink:

agreed loose the 17's .


look a few posts back at the flairing arches post (or sumthin) some good pics in it. you want to consider sumthin like that?

Stick 16"s on, don't fit a Quad bonnet or splitter (It'll look at odds with the styling of the rest of the car), fit one of those grille and headlight eyebrow thingys but remove the bits that go over the headlight so it just goes over the grille.


And why is it "Half Euro style"? How about calling it "UK style"?
:roll:

i speak to james a bit and what he wants to do is just really a smooth and different styled nova,not a proper euro,so yeah you can say it will be a "jamesuk" styeld nova..from what he's been sayin it will look smart! :D keep us posted m8

could remove the side indicators too and relocate the filler cap for ultra smoothness :wink:

[badnova]

must be hard aint it to move the filler cap or is it a easy job

[scott.parker]

i looked into the filler cap thing but there is a chance it will fail on mot's all the while till you can finde somewhere that will pass it..oh and thats if you relocate it into the door close piller. :)

[elsey197]

why will if fail the mot?

[scott.parker]

because if you have an accident i may leak into the car,and if you wer knocked out cold by the crash,you could stay out could from the petrol fumes,and it may catch fire easy...but it is just another one of them things,depends on who mot's the car...but they do look really smart inthe door piller,but due to the mot prob when doing mine i just made a smooth cap out of steel,i think it looks smart,but then i would! :P

If you're gonna go euro, you need a full respray as well. They don't look any good in standard colour, they look like "poverty spec" 1.0 trip. Wheels must be wide enoughh for a 50 profile tyer to look stretched or they look shit. Best bet is a 7x14" wheel with a slight dish and a 185/50/14" tyre. They are not fucking cheap!
For euro wheels check. Smmooth tailgate is old hat now and will age your car. Try a fiesa rear plate recess off a mk 2 xr2.

DTM mirrors will only look good if they are the mattig ones, not the auto-plas ones that look "melted" I have a contact in germany for these mirrors and a contact who will make you a par in carbon but they will NOT BE CHEAP!

If you go euro you MUST remove all badges/decals from the outside of the car and consider some tasteful (?!?) airbrushing. Instead of removint your fuel filler, have a piece of metal cut the same size (round) with a hole for your key, have it bonded onto your filler cap and airbrushed with a pic (opel badge looks good)

For wheels check out styledynamix.co.uk

All wheels are 20-38mm offsets so be prepared for some work!

If you fit a splitter to that GTB bumper it won't sit right.

Interior should be spartan with cage and no rear seat
