[craig green]

has anything aftermarket & fibreglass been good?

It is amusing to look at however. I mean, a toilet on the roof would suit the lines of the car equally as well.

And once again a cracking example of a brainwave gone wrong..... I know, I'll spend 3 weeks wages on this.....fits it.....drives about for 4 months until MOT runs out & the poor car is left wearing an unpainted bumper.
Why do so many kitted Novas end up looking the same?

Matt.. tell me thats not the bumper you have?

[nathannova]

in my opinion the only aftermarket front bumper that looks good is the reiger range but still there is no substitute for the gte/gsi

Matt.. tell me thats not the bumper you have?

Ok.... ummmm... well I'm not great at lying.

Here we go...

It's not the bumper I have.









Guess that wasn't too convincing.

i hate novas with body kits and aftermarket bumpers. I think a nova should look standardish (gsi/gte kit) or something. Thats just my opinion though.

[Novadex]

i love them wheels! lol

A good example of where i stand on bodykits. When done correctly and not badly bodged, and looking like the money thats been spent on it, although not my cup of tea, i can see why its done. Its the screwed on badly painted mish mash stuff i cant stand!

And lets be honest, you dont see many Novas done properly like this one, 90% of them are munters lol

[rc]

usually dont like them, but i widened it on mine to follow the wide arches which i think didnt make it look quite so wrong!

tho if i'm honest its the only bit of the car that i wernt quite happy with, espcially side on view!

hey some things work and some don't!

[J4MES]

they just look like they need to go 'in' more at the bottom, too sticky outy, not my cupa tea....

[Matt2107]

Oooooh I'm definately gonna have to try and get some pics over christmas.

[Garthy1985]

[Jack]

Better deliver those bumpers in a DeLorean then.
