because it doesn't work, you'll have to go back through the posts, that will take you about 3 days lol
Use google instead...

mk5 golf, think its mk5 anyways. not the newest one, the one before. maybe mk4.
not much help am i!!!! sorry. but they fit with a bit of modification to the grill, shouldn't be to hard to fit.
even astra mk4 lights would look good, thats wot i'm gonna fit to my nova.
Fergie.

Those angel eyes look brilliant, done a good job on those
Mate, go for the good Old School style quad lamps, much better IMO
that yellow nova is what I'm heading for but with mk2 Punto lights.
It is a helll of a lot of work - you need to clear most of the old light housings (not a problem if theyve rusted away anyway :lol: ) and then rebuild either in metal (welding and rivets) or fibreglass.
Generally, the wider the light, the wider and deeper the back, the more work - I think the yellow Nova had to havwe the radiator moved to the left to get them to fit!
You also need to secure them properly - have access for bulb changes - think about possible damage if some Cleetus smashed one as well as arch mods to accomodate the sides!
All fun and games
:D

weird question!!! if you do only one light but then need to have an MoT would you pass if only one light was a working conversion and the other one a working standard nova light?
i aint too patient either!!!
Hmm... can't see anything on the MOT guide about failing it if the lights were different, as long as they emit the right colour light you should be ok

i was thinking of polo lights as they are a very similar shape and i like the nova ones but would like them in a more modern crystal style,but i want to see what they look like with the indicators in.pics?
take a pic of your nova and take a pic of the car with the lights you like at the same angle - post here and I'm sure someone will photoshop the two together for you.
Polo lights IMO dont suite nova - make it look like a fiesta!

My fav headlights are golf mk4, mk3 ones are similar too. for some reason the glass on the headlights looks really bright and clear,,(when lights off) if any1 knows what i mean lol!
^ Yeah, crystal lights lol
Polo lights IMO dont suite nova - make it look like a fiesta!
Hmm, never did fancy the look of the Polo lights, but couldn't think why.... and Ade's just hit the nail on the head :lol:

Ok cool, it was just a thought.If they look shite il just take your word for it
yeah i done the polo headlamps myself, its a lot of work to get them right, due to the grill etc needed shortened and also lengthend under the lights, another problem i found was the nova indicators dont look right with the crystal look lamps, so ended up just filling in the old holes in the wings, and moved the indicators to the bumper, if u need wip pics in sure i have a few laying about i could dig out
