Me and my my share MY car, and ive had enough. Ive found a saloon going cheap round the corner from me, and i need to know the major differences in the saloon and hatchback. Just things like rear lights, bumpers, sideskirts etc.
Saloon has a boot sticking out of the back, bumpers are the same fitments, exhaust system will be different (a bit longer i would imagine), rear lights same. apart from that i think its all the same, other people may have other differneces, more details to add.
Also there are not many nice saloons, an oppurtunity to make a one off nova. As long as it doesn't involve big bumpers and neons.

well the exhaust is different but only at the tail pipe i think!! just bit longer.
as for the cavi gsi spoiler then it wil go one but the contours of the nova boot and spoiler are different so needs abit of work!! will look smart though.
and its 25 kg heavyer!! we on 1.0 shell. i think :?:

i fitted a renault 19 spoiler onto my saloon. I didnt need to cut any of the spoiler, just screwed it into place.
I even screwed a small higher brake lighter to the spoiler (from tmc) and channeled the wires into the spoiler by cutting a groove. I then filled the groove with filler.
Thats a bit harsh, Cambridge
