I'm liking the old style mk1 grill.

Hang onto that as you dont see them very often.

[bigbened]

i done the grill myself it did have them slats in with the badge on just gotta decide on what mesh now

[quickshiftnathan]

im likeing how the car looks now your not seriously going to put big aftermarket bumpers on her are you???

[Matt2107]

Its refreshing bigbened to see something different than SR/GTE

[bigbened]

lol naaaar i was just pisssing around with that pic

[srs1]

i like the look of the cheese and onion crisps on the window.

[jon boy]

dont smooth the boot !!
thats a nice car u got there !
bring it bk to its former glory !

sell me the cesaro wheels plz !!:thumb:

[bigbened]

lol sorry no can do as ive only just got em, gettin the rubber on tues.
did test fit em and they nearly ripped my front wings off wen i went for a blatt around the block lol

i picked the wheels up for 60 squids, there allways about on ebay but i got mine of someone who has a vauxhall garage, he was breaking his cavy

o and those crisps are a great mod for any car, adds more downforce and at least 10-15bhb on the roaling road

[jon boy]

yeah their nice !

a guy on here called Ste had them on his nova , currently has them on his corsa , painted dark grey/black .

look the nuts

[bigbened]

i might do that to mine i dunno tho as ive no idea what colour the car will be when finished, i was thinking about the picassos greeney and baby bluey colours if u know what i mean

[jon boy]

dark wheels will look sweet !

[bigbened]

im thinking of having a gsi bumper but one of the ones that look like its got a huge mouth to it, i think someone had a pic up the other day i cant realy explain

[Stoo]

Do you mean a wide mouthed GSi Bumper??

Look at topbuzz.co.uk tells u how to do it on there!

[bigbened]

no it ent its bigger and with a deeper mouth

diddent take any more pics 2day because of the shat weather but ill get some tomorrow when i wash it

[Stoo]

speak properly FFS its not hard!!

And its the same principle for cutting out your bumper bigger!!

[burgo]

ive got some proper genuine van panels if your interested?? will be alot easier than getting your mate to try and make sore

[bigbened]

how much do you want to sell them for mate

and as for stu16vt you dont have to read this thread if you dont want to,
brummy and proud

[Stoo]

Your right i dont have to read this thread, but i thought id try help out a fellow novaloader

[bigbened]

[Stoo]

LOL ive got it from guys at work, and RAF wide it means dont be cheeky!!

Im not a keyboard warrior so id hardly be offering him out now would i??

[novalovingned]

looking good so far, looks like a clean shell, if i was u all i would do is sorce a set of gte skirts and clear indicators and leave it at that, less is more:thumb:
van panels wouldnt look bad tho dont c many nova vans going about up here, infact non lol

[bigbened]

awnobbysnova was you up there in a row with 2 other red beasties, i think i saw you last time on the cinema car park

[JSeymour]

thats a nice base colour to start of with, id invest in some nice gte bumpers or just get them professionally sprayed, side skirts, clear indicators and then slam it to the floor.(take a look at euro paul's nova of here for some ideas)

also after market kits wont last as long as standard parts.
thats just my opinion, its up to you at the end of the day.

[bigbened]

its already lowerd 60mm but i want it lower, how low can cheap coilovers go like avos or something

[bigbened]

right casearo wheels are getting rubberd up today and going on so ill get some pics up later, found some 195/45/15 for 35fitted:D

[Dave.]

hey you know your cearo rims. did they fit straight on? or did you have to mod anything?

and your grille. did you use filler on that to cover up the slat holes. im interested in doing 1 myself
would you sell yours for ?20

[bigbened]

i would sell the grill if i could be ****d but its easty to do just cut all the crappy slats down file any other bits of plastic off and simply fill. mine could do with a final skim but i cant be ****d untill i put the mesh in

as for the wheels i put them on today and the one side rubbed like mad, so out came a block of wood and a rubber hammer and wala!!! there was no more rubbage accept for speedbumps
