Took the Nova out for a photo shoot!(speedline pics pg3)

[SRimon]

My mate came over earlier as it was a nice day polishing of the cars was in order, and gave me a good chance to take some proper pictures of the Nova with leather and the interior all trimmed up. Now just need some sodding wheels! :evil: Also got some new mods, clear rear lights and Astra Mk4 Side Repeaters.

Oooo very shiney. nice mate! :D

[dunova]

Looks excellent mate, love that colour. A set of wheels will really finish it off. Looks like you had some good weather aswell, i've been out all day in the rain, fun :roll:

[SRimon]

I'm on the hunt for wheels, money is burning in my pocket, I want 17s, it's just finding some that fit first :cry:

[ANDYRACER]

u need an exhaust aswell wats the colour called looks nice and is it a b reg or a private plate

[dunova]

I should be getting rid of my Venoms soon (although most peeps on here don't like them lol). They're 17 ET40, fit fine with rolled arch's. PM me if you're interested :wink: Have been abit curbed though-it's really hard not too because the spokes stick out quite a lot :roll:

How did u get ET40 inside ur front arches? are they rolled as well?

[SRimon]

u need an exhaust aswell wats the colour called looks nice and is it a b reg or a private plate

I have a Full GTE engine, with a Full magnex exhaust waiting to go in, next on the list...

Ummmm its a J reg? :? :?

Its Porsche Iris Blue Metallic

[dunova]

Well they don't really go 'in' the front arch as such lol, but lowered 60mm they only rubbed when cornering down hill, so i rolled them myself (only slightly) and they were fine.

[Mike.]

looks very nice mate

[NickWalliams]

Very nice, You know it makes sense...

[SRimon]

hmmm softstars...mmmmm

If they weren't so blimming expesnive i would have a set!!

dunova - did the tyre sorta sit flush with the arch then? i don't mind a little bit of chaffage, but its an MOT failure when they sit right outside the arch isn't it.

[dunova]

Yeah they kind of sat flush, but stuck out a little bit. It went through the MOT fine how it was, but i have been told that officially it's an MOT failure.

Sorry, but i think softstars are horrible!! I wouldn't mind a set of MO's, but they wouldn't suit my car. I currently have some Astra gsi alloys-i quite like them and are fine on the arch's lowered 80mm :D

[gazmorgan1985]

dunova what set up do u have to get it that low m8 :lol:

[SRimon]

With the work done on my rear arches i could happily see 100mm at the back i reckon :lol:

i'm prob gonna go 60-80 tho tbh

[Jack]

Very very very nice.... good shots too.

Always thought the MkIV Astra repeaters suit Novas too :)

[5_door owner]

:o that looks spankin mate.

but i thought you werent meant to polish new paint for about 9-10 weeks+-???

may be wrong tho.

deffo need some wheels, and an exhaust then it'll be top notch.

[NovaNickHead]

ive got 2 sets of 17"s for sale but if you have rear passengers they scrub as offset is et35! :|

run fine on mine with no rear seats etc... check the for sale section

[Chris_W]

Get some Dare V1s if your getting 17". Had some fitted to my Turbo and never had any catching problems. The way your car looks though I think softstars would look mint on it.

Chris

[SRimon]

Been offered a set of 16" speedline allessios locally, for ?400 in mint condition, i'm thinking these may make a proper job :D

[Riggy]

looking good mate

speedlines would look ace :D

[srs1]

get some nice 17" chrome blue wheels.
and a big roof spoiler, and have 4 women crash into you.
that should do it.


car looks good, if you do the above. i will drive down there and set your car alight. simple as that!

[m.d.]

as i said on csw, please dont get speedlines. although they may look good. itll just be another nova on speedlines at the end of the day. do something individual. get some 17s that look good on the car but not everyone has done before

[raza]

i could of brought some Rip speed Multi stud ones today for ?100 16" ones .. was 195/50/ forgot what last one was :$ but they was scrubbing on the back :( so had to say no wasnt happy

If you want 17s then the Dare V1 and V5 are a very nice wheel, and not too expensive from what I can remember.

How about Cav Cesaro wheels? Although they're only 15"...

[SRimon]

should *should be picking up some speedlines toniggght! :D

[jkhilton]

[nathan.]

Thats better! looks awesome mate

[Fester]

Wow looks fucking smart!!

It's hard to get the vision from the first pics without decent wheels but that really is sweet.

ps. you need a tripod/wall for night mode :wink: try this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000WXD16/qid=1107889032/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-5914381-0459868)

[elsey197]

Now it looks mint, the wheels have totally transformed the look of the car, reminds me of Chris Ts old shell

[Hughsie II]

Looks real good mate.
But you could of been a little more daring with the rim choice, but still looks mint. nice one :P

[nova ian]

:o that looks well good, the colours mint and i am really liking speedlnies now, never used to, but its cars like yours that change my mind! :lol:

well done man, very nice nova :D

[SRimon]

But you could of been a little more daring with the rim choice, but still looks mint. nice one :P

You're right I coulda been, but the whole idea from the start with this nova was to be subtle, and speedlines must be the mooost subtle wheel for a nova other than softstars, and i've always preffered speedlines over softstars...

As subtle styling goes, its spot on imo

[Mike.]

looks great, those wheels really make a difference

nice car

[Riggy]

car looks fabulous with the speedlines :lol:

[dan-hipgrave]

VERY nice mate, i like it a lot :D

[SRimon]

Cheers guys...

I'm hoping to have it with something that resembles an engine in it soon, sort out the interior finally and do some ice in time for the shows this year!

[scott.parker]

Its looking good mate,like the look on speedies(but i would lol)

i recon to finish the look on the outside you just need a nice tail pipe now,as the standard one lets it don slightly.. :wink:

Keep it going mate.

Scott

[NovaloadedAgain]

Smart mate, Id love some in Black or grey.

[SRimon]

i recon to finish the look on the outside you just need a nice tail pipe now,as the standard one lets it don slightly.. :wink:


lol slightly.....massively, i hate it, although my mate who is good at exhaust welding has hurt is back, so as soon as its better i've got a 3" round tail pipe to go on :wink:

[MattNova]

lovely nova mate, very smart :+:

[LukeManic]

simon, that is stunning! :o

[raza]

love the wheels :D

[dan_mk1]

Looks mint mate!!! just needs the engine to go with the looks now. Oh, and coilovers will go down a treat :wink:

[Aamir]
