not amazingly keen on kitted novas, but i have to say that just the amount of work that has gone into that deserves major praise, it looks really good....what paint you gonna use....

i think that looks quality cos it kinda still has the nova arch effect, lookin nice and smooth and the roof scoop looks sweet! only the spoiler i wld change but as you said each to their own :)

just a hint mate. get a hacksaw blade or an air saw and cut a neat line between the bumpers and the wings before you paint it. it looks good for show perposes but practically smoothed in bumpers will never work. with them cut seperate you will also be able to do engine mods or transplants later where it makes it much easier to remove the bumper,

looks good tho mate. have you thaught of getting different rear lights so they fill the gap where the escort ones would normally.

Very nice mate, Im very impressed and i think thats the first time the kingdom spoiler has suited a nova. Keep us updated. And what engine is going to be in it?

Looks Awesome!!! The only bit i'd change is the spoiler.... Not for another one... i'd just lower it a little, it just looks like it sits too high off the roof line of the car.... just my opinion.

Not to keen on the rear bumper or spoiler myself, but still big praise for the work thats gone into it. Also very much liking the arches and front end!

jesus, thats had some serious work done to it, well done mate. i like it, i like the way the arches are different but still look nova-ish. will look loads better painted up and some nice rims.

what colour is it going to be??

not trying to sound horrible, but it looks like a model from ade has made before casting it.

it does look like there has been a lot of work gone into it.

hope it comes out really nice for you

thats lookin quality but please do not spray it white i rekon u should go with the mica blue ive not actually seen a nova with the side scoops like the clio v6 b4 nor the roof scoop but irekon those wheels in the computer model and the car done in the blue would look cushty.
