Probably said this in one of your previous progress posts, but it looks well smart considering I'm not normally a fan of wide arches. :thumb: What bumpers did you decide on?

[knukkles]

i did have a kingdom front but dumped that idea and now im going for a modified rj automotive front .. im puttin abyss rear on the bk with 5inch exausts on either side im glad you think it looks smart

[Iain]

Good bumper choices, should be good. Looking forward to seeing it all painted.

[knukkles]

thanx it shauld be painted in a few month if i can get it all done but its going darkish purple and an orange flip on top of the purple gonna look really nice when all done ,,,,,,,,

Coming together well! Hows that major badboy going to effect road lighting?
Would the MoT have somthing to say about that? I dont know as I've never had a badboy bonnet.

[knukkles]

the bad boy bonnet is getting trimmed back a bit and the after it gets trimmed back it shauld glide thraugh the mot no problems....

ive finished the work on the sideskirt to get the door to fit and it looks quite good i just need to sand down all the glass fibre that ive done and begin the smoothing ..the ojbective is to try and get the car all done and sprayed before november do you think this is possible

[jbowman]

Im loving that low slung rear arch!!

[SRi-pete]

looks really well. i have that kit to but me front wings are for a mk1 nova, did your kit have mk1 front or mk2? cheers

[johnny27]

just noticed you have'nt got indicators on your wings as yet, are you intending to keep it that way? is it legal?
Just asking becuase i've just noticed that my new nova has no wing indicators, the wings were replaced with pattern parts, and i'm guessing that you have to cut holes yourself for them? would it pass MOT without?

[knukkles]

--sri pete-- the front wings i got cauld fit any i had to cut out the indicator holes on the front because wen i got the kit it did not have any holes for the lights

[knukkles]

--jonny27-- im keeping the wings as they are . cuz ive got a set of m6mirrors with indicaters built in to them if your nova is mk1 then yes you will need some sort of indicator on the side but if its mk2 then i think you will be ok without and it shauld go thraugh mot

[johnny27]

they look much better flushed like yours. Why do you reckon and mk2 dose'nt need em? i presume that the mk2 front indicators sorta show from the side?

[knukkles]

you can see it from the side unlike mk1s but if you do need em instead of drilling thraugh the wing why not buy some mirrors with the indicators in them

[maniacdaz]

flush idicators in bumper can look cool. there is alot of potential using the bumper as there are all sorts of shapes and sizes which could be used to suit your taste. this has been done on the maxpower haynes nova which does look good to me.

[knukkles]

the wide nova is now nearly ready for the bodyshop all the fibre glassing has been done and the first layers of filler are on its going to the body shop next month to have the bodywork finished and to be primed and prepped for paint ive been quoted 400 quid to finish it all of ..not bad,,i will post up some more pics when more progress is done

[General Baxter]

remember ?400 is just the quote, be very shocked when you walk in with ?400 and they say oh, its really ?600 lol or more

p.s what engine?

and all them body mods are going to cost on the insurance

[jbowman]

?400? thats it? thats really good deal on a paint job!

[knukkles]

no not the paint job its just for the bodywork i know the guy ive had him do work for me before he stikks to his quotes its going to have 1.6 gsi engine in it

[LEWI007]

I wish my nova looked like this its probably the best one ive seen

[Nutty Nova]
