I love 'em, although they can sometimes look a bit rounded on Novas. Do look good though, nice one.

They look awesome, did they go on without any arch mods? Or did the rear lips need attention?

The car has full original arches, and they needed about 1.5mm off towards the rear of the wheel arch. I used a sanding disc and masked off how far to go. Then painted the lip and waxoil sealed it.

Wheels - ?239
Tyres - ?178 (i coulda spent ?235 on F1's tho)

Look nice mate, been thinking about taking some of this womans vectra round the corner and leaving it with trims onlol almost certain she wouldnt notice.

Nice touch keith although I am biased!

Always wondered too whether they would fit straight on with standard arches as mine are trimmed right back but there's loads a room.

I've taken the absolute least i could take off to make them fit. Your talking less than 1.5mm off towards the rear of the arch, They are mega close and you can barely get a fingernail in the gap. But they fit!

one thing that i think should be done is....the front number plate moved up onto the silver stripe

would look much better at the front
