Only ever seen fibreglass kits,doubt anyone has made a kit in steel due to the cost of making the tools to produce the panels.
I've though about making a widetrack Nova and modifying Frontera wings for the front and rear arches due to them being a similar shape,theres plenty of Frontera's breaking so a ready supply of 2nd hand wings to butcher:thumb:
so who makes the best fibreglass kit then?
I'd love to see something like a dimma kit on a nova! can you get anything like that? couldn't really care less if its fiberglass... just means less to rust! lol

Do you mean under the front indicator? Probably because it's mk1 style front wings, You'll have to add a bit if you have mk2 front lights.

The ebay kit looks quite good.
wide arch kits that are super wide just look crap.

that was superspeeds old nova, dont know what happened to it as they ceased trading, it was only a 1.2 aswell
the kit is a mattig, i'm no fan of this, as said, its to wide for a nova. there's a dutch nova with this kit, and the nose of a astra mk4 on it.

Mattig bougt (i think) the car from superspeed and started to make copy of the kit. Price is way too much :eek:
im in the prosess of doing a wide nova ive got some old pics of it will get some new ones when i can. front was easy just bolt on but the back takes a lot of time to get right and lots of fillin and sandin
