View Full Version : whats 'in' with nova's atm??
doing the missus nova with her and she wants lairy bodykits and allsorts, but ive always been with the school of 'less is more'.
she wants:
big wheels
full bodykit (liking the kingdom or BAT i think)
lowered
loud exhaust
i want:
modified front bumper (getting abyss tomorrow)
gsi rear bumper
exhaust
15" alloys
lowered.
so, which is the way to go in the world of novas now?
IS it big bits of plastic glued all over it with 17" alloys and an exhaust i can hear when she leaves work to come home, or is it just modernising it and enhancing the already very nice lines??? :?:
at the end of the day its her car let her do what shes wants with it. got feck all to do with anyone else as long as shes happy surely thats all that matters
no. that aint what matter. lol.
cant be doing seeing her driving an advert for ripspeed.
plus its only a 1400 so it cant really drag all that plastic around with it now can it. lmao
your a brave man if you aint gonna let her have it her way
she has admitted she doesnt know what she is talking about when it comes to cars.
she knows which side her bread is buttered. lol
plus, if she wants summat fitted to the car, its me whos gonna be doing it, and i know that aint gonna happen.
really i just wanted to guage what is the thing for nova styling at the moment.
are we still into ott bodykits and stuff ,or are people leaning back towards the original lines and making them clean??
people are doing what they want at moment so theres anything and everything as always
on a less arrogant note, id say the best novas iv seen are farly strd xept for things like 40-60 mm lowering - gotta be 16" speedlines "all hail" and a peco 4" zorst - kingdom stuff just looks awful. - to me this is what its all about pure perfection in a nova in my opinion and notice how theres not an ounce of halfrauds in or on the car-------->http://www.novaload.net/images/car_images/3167big.jpg

boooootiful!
a peco 4" zorst
they have gotta be one of the worst exhausts about apart from a cherry bomb
lovin the look of that.
its exactly the kinda thing i would go for.
very clean, not far off standard.
nmmmmmmmm

As inspiration , maybe if I describe my Nova , praps you,li get some enlightenment of what you can achieve for not too much.
I,d post a pic or so , but having the mother of a time trying to post ......
For me personaly - Ive kept it as clean as possible , just dropped it 30mm on fox evo 15s , removed the side bumpers and all red trim tape Placed a couple of fog lights on it and ( wait for it ) green neon washer jets , and led blue indicators . The front lights have shrouds. A gsi spoiler on rear. The front and rear bumpers are original , but had layer after layer of bumper black applied , to replace the horrid dry grey look.
I was lucky - the paint work only had a couple of rust spots ( till of late - arches rotten but now sorted ) so , I indulged in cutting the paint , and then buffed it and buffed it again.
Inside some sr front seats - seat covers ( scorned but it does look better than tatty seats ) a couple of neons under the parcel shelf and seats, changed the gear knob , and gaiters , new steering wheel , and some basic ice - pioneer 6x9s on rear parcel shelf new speakers in dash ( cant think of name ) small sony amp , sony cd player and vibe black air 10 in the boot.
It looks nice and the stereo sounds decent . All in all , Ive tried to keep it looking not too far from the original car , as with modding comes a downfall....the cost of the changes will never reflect on eventual sale of the vechile.
But , hey , its a car and if anyonwe wants to shell out on it - go for it .
Good luck.
i thaut the fassion police baned all neon washer jets? lol - blue indicaters??, does that not confuse people? lol

16" speedlines "all hail" !
there are far too many novas with these imo, why not be different...
Mate, take a look through the Featured cars and pic something you like, big kits dont do it for me, and i'm sure that after spending a fortune on a kit that needs more surgery than Micheal Jackon to fit right, your missus'll thank you for the subtle look. Keep the Grey Bumpers, Delock and Debadge it, colour code the Door handles, a nice set of mirrors and some Nice, but different wheels and you're sorted. Look at Austins Home Grown Nova, imo, its the dogs boll0x.
on a less arrogant note,
WTF are you on about ?
oops, said a big word agen!
www.dictionary.co.uk
(arrogant
adjective
unpleasantly proud and behaving as if you are more important than, or know more than, other people:
- I found him arrogant and rude.
arrogantly
adverb
- The authorities had behaved arrogantly, she said.
arrogance
noun {U}
- He has a self-confidence that is sometimes seen as arrogance.)
so i guess im now being hypocritical lol
oops did it agen!! lol
anyway
personally i love mint totally standard gsi's
mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa

i reckon the styling section should be renamed the spastic section,
WTF is it with twats posting stupid comments??
nick purely wanted to know why u wrote arrogant not the fuking meaning, he clearly understands more than you do thats why he's wrote it.
Where was you being "arrogant" before?
grow up dickhead
yea yea! lets name it spastic section! - lets see how many people burberry boy can offend today! - (i had a brother who was born downsyndrome and died 4 yeas ago (he was 6) not that you knew that - wouldnt expect you too but i thaut people stopped saying spaz and spastic n pathetic chav shit like that in the 90's - you are a chav! is all i can say, - i used to know a guy who acted and spoke the way you do - he has no freinds anymore - and i rearly see him (probably why your bored)
and in answer to your question - BECAUSE HE WAS BEING ARROGANT!, and i dont think someone who genuinly wanted advice should be spoken to in such a flippent way - i was meerly stating the obvious - i think its so sad that this site is over run with 100's of burberry bastards - its a damn good job iv got another 2 accounts to use cos i wont be using this one again one good thing about this site is the advice in tec and thats all ill ever use anymore
anyway just think before you offend people for no fucking reson
i would have pm'd you but i wanted people to know why iv reacted the way i did!
