Still looks very subtle mate and is a good improvement. They're not things people will instantly recognise and won't mark the car as a bodykitted boy racers motor. The title got me panicked too, glad you and the car are all well!

I think it still looks fairly sleeperish. Its not standing out or looking like it would have anything bigger than a 1400 in there.

Awesome!
I was expecting see pics of your nova in a state by the title, lol.

They really suit the car, nice, looks miles better :)

Did you use proper clips?

no, just screw's, drill the holes, then sealed, so it shouldn't rust :thumb:

I never really thought it was that much of a sleeper to begin with, but prefer it anyhow. Looks a bit more complete.

Im liking it, makes the black greeny contrast stand out more. :thumb:

I had the same issues with my sleeper - things that had to be added like wheels to house brakes (couldnt find 15 inch 4 stud steels for love nor money), pins for the FG bonnet, the stripped out interior, all detracted from the sleeper look. However i came to the conclusion that any nova with 200+/tonne (without stupid kits and badges) is a sleeper as no one expects to out run/compete with the types of cars it can. so its all good.

never said it was a sleeper :p

it was stealth, due to being modded, but only slightly on the exterior side of things, looked very basic, no spoilers, skirts, splitters etc etc

I know, its just everyone refers to it being a sleeper. Its too low for that. Anyone into cars would probably look straight at it seeing the -60mm stance & 'ghetto' black rims.

As I said, I prefer it with the skirts. :thumb:

its a bit more that 60mm ;)
