I have just bought a new drivers side front wing for my Nova, & Ive put it on, But im not happy! It isnt joining at the bottom to the crossmember. Its well out! Even If I was to leave that unbolted!-Which is not an option the bumper wont clip on properly anway! Why?

I ordered it from Just Nova's, And also it doesnt have an indicator hole for the side either! I would assume these are ex-GM stock???

Which bolts should be put on first? I started with the top bolts lining the engine bay.

would the wing be a copy from just novas??? (like not a GM part)
because apparently some copied wings dont fit right but some do.... :?

not sure though, thats all i can think of :lol:

im guessing its a copy then, these never seem to fit right, it will take a bit of messing around to get it to fit right. The GM ones are a lot moer expensive though.

PM sent! I have my ariel mounted on the roof at the back in the middle. So just the indicator slot is required.

Phil- It went on ok, Didnt have no problems although doesnt join to the slam panel 100% Ive got it on & the bumper hides the poor design. But still-I like to know my car isnt bodged, So I'll probably get another-Get it sprayed & keep the Just Nova's wing on til another is sprayed.
