Ideas/opinions wanted!!

[Wilson]

I need some opinions/ideas for my van. i like the original nova look so i dont want a body kit of any sort. im just a bit stuck on ideas, wether to spend money on some gsi skirts and a backbox or spend more money cleaning it up. also wether i should go for some better wheels or keep the 3 spokers.

Remove bump strips, gte/gsi side skirts, wheels are not bad but 15/16" nice chuncky spokes would look nice

[Tim]

get rid of the bump strips, fit some gsi skirts, some cavvy gsi alloys in anchracite, and a black stripe in the bumpers, oh and some clear lenses on the wings and put the front number plate back where it should be, coz it looks pants like that

[Welsh Dan]

Really quick 'shops here, and I'm too lazy to find pics of cav gsi wheels, so, from the side: de-strip, de-lock, clear repeaters, anthracite wheels, get the scuffs off the bumper, back-to-black the grey plastic around the wing mirror and the door handle:

from the back: debadge, back-to-black the boot handle, and do the splitter while you're at it:

from the front: (yeah i know the numberplate bit is dodgy), move the plate back to where it should be, debadge the bonnet, black the front splitter:

Something to tag on the end that I missed, paint the rear numberplate light holder either white or black, I'd go for white.

And give that rear windscreen a wash :p

[Tim]

try it with the cav gsi alloys and lowered a bit

[Wilson]

whats the best thing to use to get the sticky stuff off wear the door strips go? i like the ideas so far!

[Jack]

Hot air gun or hair drier, plastic scraper, bit of meths or white spirit or maybe some of that bug & tar remover stuff. Its a pain to get off but be patient.

[Tim]

take it easy as well, if u dont ull take half the paint off with them

try and do it on a nice hot day, will be a bit easier then

[Iain]

I'm going to suggest a set of GSi bumpers, although I'm guessing you like the MK1 ones...? Removed bumpstrips look good. :thumb:

[Wilson]

i think it would look much beter without the bumstrips but i dont realy wana fcuk it up! yeh i like the gte 1s more lol

[SRlew]

if your on a budget mate just get it decked with those wheels left on.

i wish you lot hadnt of said that anthracite cav gsi wheels would look good! i always wanted them that colour then thought id do mine white instead, but now im felling depresed!

t1mmmmy you aint gunna like my car when you see it then mate. i got a number plate the but lower

I recommend Astra Mk4 repeaters. You have to file or cut the tangs off them, then use a bit of trim tape (Halfords sell it) to hold them on, but suit the Nova quite well and don't seem to stick out as much as the standard ones do. I've even used them on my Celica lol

[gsi bad boi]

looks smart mate!!

i got some cav gsi alloys and gte skirts ow and some lowering springs with shocks 40mm all round that will sit nicely and look THE BOY!!!

[Wilson]

i got sum clear side repeaters on it now. their jus oval ones and they dont stick out. it looks miles beter already and ive only spent a 10ner lol i found the best thing to use to get the bumpstrips off is to use boiling water. the majority just peeled off! il get some pics up tomorow after i cleen and back 2 black it. cheers for the ideas!!

[Wilson]

Ive nearly got it looking as i want it now. i should be geting a peco backbox for it tomorow and some 15s at the end of the month. just thought id post some pics of it so far. (i no the back window need retinting lol )
