what about photoshop mate?

[Matt2107]

Don't think that is a photoshop vallance... is it a real sport though or just a white nova with decals?

Looks like your having fun either way though mate.

Welcome to the site.

[wisewood]

I've seen that picture somewhere before.

welcome to the site though :D

[mickymoose]

a mate of mine has done the harewood hillclimb champ in it for years, finaly plucked it off him, its a sport but its been a bit butcherd

[vallanc3]

just thought it looked abit wierd around the rear arch...actually its just jealousy lol

[BigStan]

Hi nice car

[wisewood]

the graphics being as they are, fading down the side do have a bit of a photoshop look to them, but no, they're real.

[mickymoose]

thanks all, hoping to get it out at the weekend, weather permitting so i'll take some proper pics then

[vaughanmc]

i think that nova sport used to have an irish plate on it..?

correct me if i'm wrong

(i have pics somewhere)

[Mike]

[draper]

spider skirts i think..so irmscher..but i may be wrong so done quote me lol

they look the part on that nova mate!! looks very nice!! good little purchase!!:thumb:

[Novadex]

i thought photoshop too lol, but like you say... proberly just jelous. nice motor!

[ade]

lol

its the wheels and the sharpness of the rear arch that makes it look chopped - however its just a really good pro camera and probably a bit of scaling down. Nice motor though

[Pillar]

welcome mate, nice ride. are they corsa mirrors?

[Spudly]

welcome mate, nice ride. are they corsa mirrors?

Nope theyre proper sport mirrors, (kinda hard to come across to iirc) my mates B-reg poverty spec nova had these when he first bought it, that one in the pic looks very nice, looks like its missing the bonnet decal and the colour coded bit on the bumper under the headlights.

Are they not some kind of option on the sports (the sideskirts) as they look like the sport pictured in the tech section of TV??

[Mike.]

thats a nice looking sport, and it sounds like it gets used alot, the way the should be lol.

[novacabrio]

The skirts are zender, only an option in the same way that zender and irmscher bits are today, very similar to irmscher, car looks alot like C75BEC nova sport, does it have the zender rear spoiler? I'm sure i remember a someone saying there was 2 or 3 sports with the zender skirts and there was a story behind them?

[mickymoose]

i'm still waiting on all the spares the panels and interior and stuff that he still has. its got c/f boot and bonnet on now so not sure about rear spoiler. weather forcast is looking good so i'll get her out at the weekend. take some pics. thanks for the welcome all

[mickymoose]

oh yeah, vaughanmc, it used to be on a private plate of RAZ **** or something like that. back when my mate in leeds had it

[mickymoose]

ooops, i mean fibre glass boot and bonnet, man its too early for me

[vaughanmc]

i recognised the sticker on the side of the door and the one with the irish plate popped into mind :)

[coldo66rc]

nice car mate... was it not on ebay? and also what sideskirts are on it am looking for a set and liked the ones on your mint nova... cheers colin

[Novasport]

They are Zender or GMS(Vauxhall styling from the 80's) side skirts, both are very similar but you will be very lucky to find a set. There was a set of Zender ones on Ebay a few months ago but that is the only set I have ever seen for sale.
