right then, after a long hard thought ive decided against all the bodywork mods i had planed. Decided mk1 SRs are rare enough and it gives me an extra 1k+ for the engine :D

so i need some input for wheel design, i sold the multi spokes at the weekend and im already regretting tbh

sugestions on the back of a postcard please lol

heres a pic

I reckon a tailgate would suit the car nicely

As for wheels... Azev, if they fit. Or Vauxhall Astra/Cav Cesaro alloys

i was thinking cesaros aswell

and a tailgate weighs to much lol

Cesaros are nice but I think they are presently going to replace the Cav GSI rims as the "in trend"

How quickly will you be on the road? If its very soon then I'd go for the cesaros before the masses get there.

LOL I swapped my Cesaros for Cobra subframes, I like the Cav GSI's because they hide my puny 14SR brakes all round. Plus you automatically get the "Ere is that a valva mate?" Q's when they are painted black it would seem lol

i am a great fan of the 'cavvy gsi slabs' but i dont get this 'cesaro' thing i think they are horrible wheels . oh yea i think those wheels on the silver nova are off a old vectra without centre caps ? , could be wrong ..

draper

Lol all about personal tastes... good job too otherwise our cars would all look the same.

My personal pet hate with alloys is speedlines.

Speedlines are horrible! compomotives are the ultimate old school nova rim. Still love my cav gsi rims tho.
