Well, i got some new interior this weekend, It's Only the GSi stuff, but i think it's the nicest nova interior. As you can see from the pics, it's very very very good condition, but i paid alot for it !

I have also got all the black interior trim panels, minus the dash ! which i might get round to fitting sometime !



This is the splitter i also got, it is a Golf VR6 splitter, A bit big, but it looks really good from the front (if fitted properly, i've seen a few badly done ones)

here it is Kinda Wegded under the front bumper using a Spoiler and a Brush :-P, sorry about the Darkness !

Although, i kinda like the GSi front on it's own ! (meshed Grill is going soon i think) So i may be open to offers on the splitter if i change my mind.

I havn't got the dash, just all the other bits, i think it looks perfectly fine as it is tho (mix of grey and black, just like the dash)

i think i'm gonna take the splitter to a bodyshop and get them to have a crack at it properly... see what it comes out like. I had a laguna one, and i've been trying to get hold of one for a while now, with no luck !

Thanks riggy :D

There are pics of it up there, it's very deep and i don't know how well it'l work.

i've seen a few, but done badly, with friends holding it up to the bumper properly, it looks good (in theory)

It's perfectly cutt, and the corners are perfect, just fitting it flush is a bugger, so i'm gonna get someone else to do it i think, see how it turns out !

yep thanks mel, The Chap very kindly fitted the seats on collection, but you have to take the seatbelts off to get all the black trim on, so i'l do that sometime soon - Excellent guy called Alan, breaking a Mint Silk Violet GSi if anyone wants anything ! top guy

Thanks mate, it was interesting fitting my old interior, all the trim panels, the splitter e.t.c in the boot :-) then had to drive 80 miles home on kinda country main roads :|

He's breaking a Mint Silk violet Gsi incase you wanted anything !? doors ? bonnet ? Tailgate ? Arches ?

The photo's don't do it justice, it really looks brand new when sitting inside

It's Only the BEST interior in the world

:lol: Nice one mate, looks well tidy. All looks excellent condition, mine has the usual wear in the bolster :roll: Looking into getting it repaired........

Well, he drove into a kirb, and it somehow buckled the rear arch, so i presume the chassis is bent.

He sold the engine for ?250, only done 50k miles. Apart from that, most of it's there.

Tailgate + Spoiler with the original vynal, bonnet, Arches (maybe) Front panels, Mint Doors with GSi Graphics, black Dash, Digi Clocks, Gsi Front and Rear.

he even has a couple of speedlines i think (bent 2 of them) good for a spare wheel ?

PM me if you would like his Email, he's up near Carlisle, that's the only problem !

I fitted this VR6 splitter to a lads nova many many years ago (In fact its so long ago - my 'Rusty Rocket' was even parked next to it - on show !!!) - one of the first to be fitted properly I believe !!!

Absolute nightmare to fit and get looking factory fit - but woth it in the end

See now thats what i like the way the shape,or cut in/out part of the vr6 splitter emulates the mk1 bumper shape/cut out etc,you get this same look when fitting a astra mk4 splitter to the bottom of a mk1 bumper also.

i agree scott properly lined up vents make the job 100 times better

Yep it all fitted in Mystic burgo.... Although you were right about the journey home, the Fuel pump is about to pack in, and it was a bit hairy !

Yep, the vent in the VR6 splitter does mirror the Nova bumpers very well.

Although, when you line it up, and fixings along the top of the splitter are a different angle to the front bumper, so when fitted quickly, there'l be a gap where they don't fit flush.

I think the only way to do it is to get some heat on the fixings part, and try and bend it all to the same angle as the front bumper. So i think i'l leave it to a bodyshop
