started to make a cold air intake in the grille like a zender mk3 astra grille- used a section of an astra mk3 morette twin headlight grille and bonded it on to a mk2 nova grille, took ages but worth it i rekon....

1/2 of the mattig (FIBERGLASS!?!?) splitter that had to mate to the much squarer GTE front bumper.

wuda bin fine if it was abs plastic, but cos it was fglass took ages to manipulate......years later managed to get it to fit ok (needs finishing)- pictured with the grille

now to cut the bumper and bigmouth the centre and put a small square plate in the right hand side as the tape shows, mite try a bonnet mounted sticky number plate
