Take off the bumpers, hide those 6x9's under the parcel shelf, and remove the flair logos. Those cav alloys in black really suit the orange :thumb:.

Kinda looks like theres a nice car in there somewhere.
I used to hate the Novadose kit but as its so rare (I think) its not such a bad thing anymore.
personally I'd just tidy it a little more (above comments) & get the rear boot handle clour coded. See a body shop about mopping the paint to restore the colour.
Same alloys as me btw.

Lose the relflectors off the doors and partially de badge the cluttered boot! Nice wheels, they definitely go with the orange. Its also nice to hear that there are girls around who still like the Nova and its ageing charms!
That might be Mexico Red, judging by the colour balance of the pics.
If she wants to keep it kitted, then debage & destrip it, paint the tailgate and door handles, switch the side repeaters for clear ones or Astra Mk4 items...
Oh, and move the rear numberplate light before she gets nicked ;)
ok.
it is a really rich red, its just the camera doesnt catch the colour well. (547 is the paint code)
talked about cleaning the boot up yesterday, mot first tho, and she wants a smoothed one. lol
also thinking of moving the numberplate light to back on top.
6*9's are hidden under a cover for now.
reflectors are going as soon as i can get it off her for a day. lol
cheers for the positive comments tho.
she will really appreciate it.
and she does want a corsa, but im hoping because its starting to look good she will change her mind.
and baxter, coulda said when i was there last night. lol

lol you walked passed them, they were behind the cav lol
According to the 1991 Opel paint chart, 547 is "Magma Red". The equivalent Vauxhall colour code is 79 - which is more commonly known as Flame Red...
For those who may be interested, Mexico Red is 539/71 :thumb:

Read the title and thought it was gonna be some mid plastic surgery pics of your missus lol lol lol
as said......remove the bump strips! i think it lets the car down quite a bit!
