Not much opptions for rear lamps i hate the clear and standard 1 would buy red tinted 1ns but i would end up putting them on my mk1 Nova so i will stick with the quad lights for now bud:thumb:

i actually like the quad lights on some nova's........


and ur's being 1 of them aswell.it looks good with the flush boot n smoothe bumper i think

and i agree its a good move 2 change the front bumper

wot about goin for 1 of them ' big mouth' types....i think kingdom developments do them.....they r similar 2 the gsi only deeper/lower and with a bigger hole in the centre....it would look good because u've got pretty big wheels on ur car

Cut the bumper and make a bracket to hold the plate in place, and make sure the plate is illuminated when your lights are on.

get an rs ditrech (?) bumper, smaller wheels (14" th lines) and slam it... ummm euro.

btw venom motorsport make a fiberglass number plate recess for a mk2 golf bumper, or they mite do a univeral one, ne way you can cut that into the bumper easily enough

IIRC QuadConversions do a Nova bumper recess plate. Or you can butcher a 306 one.

Nice Nova mate!

I usually hate after market kits on novas, but yours is nicely done. I would lose the front bumper tho, it's a bit too much.

Back end of the car is awsome. Keep the quad lights, they really suite the bumper and smoothed boot, recessed number plate is must as well.

apart from the lights, the rear looks awesome.
i love smooth cars.
must be from growing up when dubsport started bringing out smoothasyoulike golfs.

the front bumper needs binnin, as does the bonnet (imo), although i have a soft spot for the bad boy, just the vent doesnt suit.
make the whole thing as smoth as possible to match the rear.
suppose the smoothest bumper is the abyss one.
astra gte or even cool louvres in a standard bad boyed bonnet
move the petrol filler to the door pillar

like the wheels too.
