Thats the kit with 4 fog lights right? I think thats one of the best kits for a nova if your not looking to put a GTE/GSi kit on. Go for it!

it's better than a kingdom kit or whatever they are called

Lol. I have to agree. IMO the kingdom kit IS the worst kit for a Nova!

the only kit that looks half decent is the novadose kit. and i think that's because someones payed some attention and designed it around the nova.

All these kingdom and bloody Evo kits are just universal peices of crap, they bear no reseblence to the design of the nova, they only bear resembelence to some Skyline of Evo they were designed on.

hmm I rather liked my evo bumper :lol:

Is the magnum kit to go on a Mk1 or Mk2?

Most aftermarket kits need a fair amount of shaping and trimming to fit, even though the Magnum kit looks like it ought to fit easy doesn't mean it will :wink:

I'm assuming you'll probably need to find a way to attach the bumper bar to it too...

alright, its just that if i get i fed up of my standard mk1 front bumper i would buy that magnum one but they seem like quiet alot of effort to get them to fit, so i dont know if id even bother.

what parts of the bumper need to be modyfied, like where it mounts to the wing?

From working on other aftermarket bumpers you'll probably have to trim along the top edge of the bumper, and possibly a little round the sides where it comes round the wings. You also may need to fabricate up some brackets (i.e. bend some metal strips lol) to bolt onto the body of the car with the ends fibreglassed onto the bumper.

Yep I have to agree, I seen it on a few escorts & it looks absolutely shocking! :o
Kingdom development kits arent too great either.

yer i agree with that. but iv seen 1 kingdom front bumper that aint all to bad i think, it looks like an extended version of the nova GSI bumper,

but the magnum kit is the best by far i recon.

magnum kit looks ok...

the Kingdom big mouth is quite nice, but it's a little dissproportionate to the rest of the bumpers..
