How about some nice alloys to go with the lowering? will improve the handling a treat!
If you say your car is mint I wouldn't mess with a GSI front end, just get clear indicators for the front, and remember, any bodywork you get done is gonna cost more to get sprayed becuase your cars a metallic.
Stick to lowering, nice set of wheels and some simple stuff like debadging. There's alot to be said for the subtle and smooth look, you don't always have to go for a mental bodykit.

Mesh Your Grille,fit a front splitter and get clear indicators. It has completely changed the look of mine at the front. Much more aggressive. :D

Well, atm it is fully debadged, it has some 13" shite alloys and has the trim removed along side... I discovered a lot of rust on arch lips, which i hit, and all the filler fell off... so im in process of fixing it... have made a new lip with p38, have taken all rust off whole wing... and then resined it all so none can come back... its primed now, and gonna respray whole panel metallic same as car... wish me luck with that!

Ill do same with other side, so i have NO (read as NO) rust left on car... hopefully itll stay that way, unless rust suddenly starts attacking filler!

Next thing im doing is gonna lower it 50mm... on std shock, which are in vgood condition.. Could i do the lowering myself?

Thanks for help guys, much appreciated

BTW, all me clusters and inidcator thingys are blacked out! looks pretty evil on a light car....

cheers

just out of interest... is it possible to have 17" alloys on a nova if it is lowered 60mm. or is it best to think in the region of 40mm? also, does it really make that much difference if it's an mk1, or an mk2?
