the bump strips shud be stuck on wiv glue get a heat gun or hair dryer on it and peel it off then get rid of the glue wiv some autoglym tar and glue remover
:D

what stick ons are on the car?

'vauxhall' and 'nova 1.2i' in the boot?
strips along the side of the doors?
vauxhall badge on the bonnet?

youll need some t-cut as well to tidy it up!

vauxhall badge on the bonnet?

I think on mk2s this badge is also held on with two pins that locate in holes on the bonnet...?

[supernova1200]

check haynes manual max power one

they have 2 pins and you stick 2 coins from under neath and maskin tape
the top then filler it and cut the excess of wit a stanley blade and touch up the filler wit paint

[epo]

easier to get a mk1 nova bonnet as they have no badges

[Tazzy]

true, but for some ppl, it might work out cheaper and/or easier for ppl who know what tey are doing, to fill in two tiny holes!

after all, if you do get another bonnet, you have to get it sprayed the same colour, but if you plan to fit a bonet vent to it, i dont spose it matters!

The one in the picture above went for ?150 on Ebay and needed repairing at the corner.
But they don't normally come with the lamps, they are ?195 new from Carisma:-http://www.carismastyle.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

i like the evo bumper, but i dont like the spot lamps, theyre too big! maybe if a plate could be fitted instead which smaller spots would sit in!

like the scooby P1 i think!

[NovaRed1.2i]

cheers dont look to bad not to sure on the lamps but u dont have to have them that big do u?

thing is i need skirts and a rear bumper b4 i fit it look wierd otherwise

:o i've only lowered it and fitted front tints and done the bumper and thats it so far!

[NovaRed1.2i]

yeh wot i mean is its comin along nicely

how long it take to do the front bumper?

[cooper_nova]

it took me somewhere between 46-56hrs in all

[NovaRed1.2i]

wot does a nova look like with sideskirts is it ok or does it look abit crap

be helpful if uve got pics of it

cheers shaun

[Tazzy]

depends what side skirts

ive got some m3's waiting to go on, the novadose ones look good as well, the factory skirts are as common on novas than speedline alesio's!

[epo]

theres always calibra ones they come in 3 pieces just cut em down to fit and there not common on nova's either

[Nath]

lol on that pic it looks as if the bushes behind are on fire :lol:

ive just been given some novadose (i think) sideskirts. dunno wetha to fit them or not.
