Newbie with a 1.0. Help!

[BoiledEgg]

Hi,
This is my first Nova, it's a G Reg 1.0 Base Model with 65,000 miles on the clock. I only paid ?100 for it, probably they are only worth that much!

Anyhow, few questions:

The interior looks s**t. Its all grey plastic and ugly. Whats the best way to change this - where do I get new ones from?

The dashboard too, I would like a nice one, maybe a digi one - but not sure as I think I have a Mk 1? (How do you tell the difference between mk1 and 2?) Could I put in a different model cars dash in?

The interior is what I want to change first.
Please be gentle with me if you answer :oops: :D

[Ben]

you are 99% going to have a Mk1, you can fit a digi dash but its harder than the MK2's.

Get a GTE interior for ?25-30 or a top of the range GSi one from ?120+.

Look in the for sale section on here.

you can pick up an sr interor cheap and it will just brigten it all up a bit

Whoa! Replies already :D 8) Thanks!

So, I can only have a Nova Interior? You know the side panels where that fabric is, can you change that into something better? Or even make some more with fabric?

Please don't laugh at my ignorace :oops:

Nicola

Hiya 8) , so I can trim the sides in a cow print fabric, to match the cow print seat covers, thats cool. I was thinking about a black and white interior and a blue and white on the outside. Its white at the moment with some grey (bumper etc) I like the 'clean' look. I don't these shopping trolley spoilers :evil: I;ve seen someones on here which looks good, practically all white on the outside.

[Ben]

Wooooo

Wait for the 3 page thread coming up!!!

Oh yeah, welcome.

[srs1]

as already said, you can retrim the side panels in your own fabric.
or you can use gte/gsi/sr and sri ones as they have material on them.

as for the dash, you can put a corsa one in, but its a lot of work to get it to fit.
probably the simplest thing to do to the inerior is, use one of those dash sprays. you can change the colour to what you want then.

[srs1]

oh yes.

and welcome to the site.

what made you chose that name by the way?

[epo]

i was gonna ask about the name too

and how do and welcome

[BoiledEgg]

Thanks for the welcome :D

I chose this name ages ago on an online gaming forum so the young boys ;) wouldn't know if I was male or female! And it's just kinda stuck with me :lol:

[srs1]

interesting, i thought it was cause you wanted your eggs un-firtilised. lmao

[Spud]

if you dont wanna spend mega bucks on getting a gsi internals, get yourself down to halfords or similar and have a look at he seat covers. got mine from there about 25 quid and it looks alright

[BoiledEgg]

Thanks for that info, but I've seen some in Argos :oops: that I like - cow print, I'm going to do the door cards to match!

[scott.parker]

Im sorry i know your a girl,but do you really want to do it in cow print?

hi and welcome to NL

"cowprint" its the future! :D

are you sure you really want to cover the seats in that pattern?

[Riggy]

:D hi and welsome to NL

but i think it would lok better if you got an sri interior with the door cards and for the dash you could have a mk2 dash fitted then fit the digi dials :D
