[Mike.]

hmmmm i don't like that gold filler cap, it clashes with the black paintwork, you can get a new wing easily enough, were did the dents in the rear quarter come from?

[dooooney]

some twat at tesco car park the day i got her :evil: :evil: parked up to buy TV and came back to that and a load of white scratches

[Dod]

Get Gold Wheels and lower the FUCK out of it. It'll look ace Mate.

[dooooney]

omg what do you think i am some chav???????????????????????????

[ANDYRACER]

Right Arron bit of advice never ever use a jet washer on a nova. :lol: Looks alright just a new wing and the front lowered it'll look alright. I reckon some cav gsi rims would look right at home on that.

[dooooney]

cav chav smav i think mine look good for 40 with brand new rubber on them :D

[ANDYRACER]

Na get rid of the 3 spoker jokers :lol: They look crap and i havent a clue why vauxhall even bothered to make such ugly wheels.

[General Baxter]

bit of water never hurt!

[dooooney]

Black Steelies look well IMO, especially if they are 15's off a Vectra. Very Race like. Love the SRi Steelies too.

[Mushy]

loose the gold fuel cap, doesnt go at all

And why is there a random shoe next to the kerb... :roll:

[dooooney]

well my shoe fell off and i couldnt b botherd to put it on and my gold fuel cap is just a replacement for a while it was cheap so i just bought it as someone els stole my other :(

[NovalutionGSi]

so it started to rain, so you stoped working!

puff ;)

bit of water never hurt!

too true, but it hurts about a weeks time when you got the Flu! plus all the tools go rusty if you forget to dry them! :roll:

Dude, suggestion, WD-40 is a nova owners best friend! like your going to get any nut thats been on a car for over 12 years to undo without WD-40! and like everyone's said it'l not hurt to go and get a new wing or even to try and remove that dent out of the rear quarter.

[dooooney]

well the dint puller dont work on them and u cant get behind it with a hammer so ill ask my bodyshop how much.
just got down the scrappy 2day and look what i found
