Don't Body kits and side skirts are shit, keep it simple Ala the way it should be.

Or if you really must I've thought about modifying a vectra estate sideskirt to fit...

if your cars your baby, do you really want to start sticking sideskirts to it and damaging it?

i always wanted to fit some on mine before i grew out of bodykits. there are loads of skirts made for other cars that can be modded to fit a nova. i dont think many nova skirts actually suit the nova, but iv always thought that skirts the flick up at the back suit a nova best. maybe some civic type R ones??

Depends what style your car is. I\'d want some pics first before I make a decision - IMO sidekirts suit some style of novas, but not others...

to make it look special go subtle and euro style. Stay away from speedlines :wink:

Go for stuff that look factory, which people will stand there think Umm theres somthing not right about that car but takes ages to sus out.

Remove door locks go for the uber smooth approach and poss euro style it... Hardly see many Euro style novas these days :cry:

GSI/GTE sideskirts are the only skirts that suit the hard lines of the nova. I've never sussed why people put rounded bodykits on novas when the nova has definate corners. (or bodykits at all for that matter)

Totally Agree.

This was mine before the last bit of fiberglass was removed in favour of GSi skirts.

got them on mine....

and they look stupid on the quadconversion's show car, but they look fine on yours.

I had a set on my old nova, but as I've said, the GSi/GTE skirts compliment the hard "box" shape of the nova.
