[Saloony]

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a28/Rexy_nova/E756%20RNX/11f3cd38.jpgIt needs the lip on the valance. But its sexual all the same. Im coming over all funny with these big rear ends coming out.

[Saloony]

why, is sayin PVG that much of a taboo? lol
God knows, its the same on mig. **** it i dont care PVG!

[John]

Saloony, you can have my convertible saloon if you wish, as long as you paint it a mad colour and look after it! (oh and you pay me what i want for it of course)lol

Nope, no taboo bt, just personally prefer stealth mode sometimes.

[Lee]

You know id look after it. It would be styled. I am the saloon god after all. Payment, meh, thats a slight techincal indifference shall we say;)

[Ricky G]

im actualy kind of gutted now! it was a plan of mine to do up a saloon nova 1 day coz i didnt think any1 had done it! i think they look the dogs goolies!

[Matt2107]

I like the arches... I was thinking how hard that would be to do? Can't be that bad.

Hopefully I will be joining the coupe owners club real soon.

[burgo]

[burgo]

[Saloony]

aint got a clue i bout it from someone in wales
Im dead sure its from southampton. But could be wrong, could have been a cfs ending come to think of it.

oh no! this is one of the rare 3dr saloons as well!

[loggyboy]

Nice. But hatch arches NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
How can you possibly say that - the one styling queue that makes the nova what it is, that makes it stand out from other 80/90s small cars..

if u mod a saloon it NEEDS to have box arches to finish it off...

ie:

[Jack]

Have to say, as much as I love the saloons, the hatch arches just don't look right on them IMO...:confused:

[meritlover]

in karachi we would say that car looks like much of a joke ha ha

[Rexy]

in the uk we would usually say the same... ha ha

[Saloony]

Ill be the first to admit, yeah it looks good. But this is a big BUT, there is a major difference in the hatch and saloons, you have a saloon to be different, not by a saloon and make it look like a hatch, so you can fit in with the hatch boys. It just wrong. The saloon is for the individual hence why it never really took off and never got the praise it rightly deserves.

well smart !! the arches look good on this 1 because its got proper 1s on the back

[Lee]

It is a good photoshop yes :-)

[Saloony]

And theres another good reason for quality arches of the saloon variant, 17's arent a problem.

[draper]

are you blue_peg_16v (or similar name) from PVG then ??

[Saloony]

No im saloony on PVG. Blue Peg has said blue saloon. And i have previously shown Orange saloon. Why??

My one! Plenty of plans but just not enough money at the moment. But don't worry she's all safe and sound and loved. Started and driven around my yard every few days.
The photos don't do it justice the car is mint.

[sinnerboy]

[Saloony]

Theres more saloons about than i first thought. ****.

[H15 NVA]

that blue valver on matt black dare 17s looks a thousand time better on saloon archs than hatch, the hatch archs dont flow with the line of the rear of the car.

[rc]

not really a saloon lover but these ones do look bloody cool!

[Saloony]

do i spot rare rear window frames?

[Jack]

Yes :D

[Martin]

i have a set in the garage wast so rare?

[Mike]

hatch window frames dont fit saloon aparently

[Jack]

Yup, they're different sizes (speaking from experience here lol)

Also note the saloon ones don't come down to a point in the far corner like the hatch ones do, as you can see in this pic:
