yeah, i was looking through my m8s redline mag he had lying around and it had a 2.5 V6 nova with the fuel cap relocated to in to door shut, might give that ago on mine 8)

Wanted it done to mine but the funds ran out before Redline took pics. Think I may go for it in the rear window and a fuel cell in the boot now. Haven't fully decided. :?:

Are you going to do it or are you just playing with ideas?

SKoob
20-07-04, 02:37 PM
well i'm playing with ideas atm, i'm deciding wether to delock and handle it or fit calibra handles as they sit flush with the door. I'm decidng on wheel sizes aswell, i really like the look of 17s on novas but know the big handling and performance hit they produce :|

both good ideas but what about this i saw a car once with the full filler cap on the roof it looked gr8 because its a complete one off ' would look even better on a nova

like those wheels sweet, does n e 1 wot they r?? (or even will tht fit nova??)

i would say roof
but thats my opinion
some petrol stations are sometimes strict when the car door is left open when filling up thats the only reason why i would have the filler cap on the roof insted of the door shut

and it was a orange pug 205 you were right al

Yep they are Fondmetal 5800s they do fit novas, i know this because i have a set on my car at present thy are only 14s atm :oops: but i'm deciding on wether i should go all out and get 17s or keep it simple and go 15s :wink:

Mate imo go for the 15's or 16's. Had the big wheels put on mine for the mags but its totally impractical as a daily driver. And ?120 a tyre is not great either. :(

wot size r on the photoshop car???

SKoob
20-07-04, 03:12 PM
they came on my old 1.2 I had. Only place i found them online is
http://www.wheelmadness.co.uk/fondmetal.htm. The more i think about it the more I'm considering 15s, think it will be for the best especially with me coilovers 8)

SKoob
20-07-04, 03:13 PM
I reckon they are about 17s in my photoshop

Handling will be superb.

i like the smooth look also.

Put 15's on, rather than 17's. 15's (or 16's) look good on a nova.

looks good that jim, must say i prefer the alloys silver and i'm not keen on flush tailgates. Like the have the vinyl on the back telling them what it is. 8) Oh and I think the pink idea is a bit of a non starter i'm afraid benji :lol:
