Adams maybe get a recess in rear bumper for num plate..

front bumper has to stay unless it goes to me.. and keep the boot its special..

just put a bigger lump in mate..

get some standerd mirrors.. i have some if you want them? ?5?

id keep the 1.4 they are decent engines. IMO id do what is said above, and change the smooth tailgate, i personally dont like them but then its not my car. it looks decent enough though

ahh fair enough they look 17+ in the second pic

in that case keep the wheels and drop it further on the back end

i like that.
small details are now the best thing for it.
wing mirrors for def, astra gte ones which are leccy.
heated front wind screen is ace in winter.
light covers for the front
astra gte washers for the front lights.
small mods but will give it more personal details.

If it was mine...............

Drop mirrors into nearest wheelie bin.
Kick the filler out of the tailgate.
Regular shaped rear number plate.
Darken the mesh in fr end.
&
Wind the seats up so it doesnt look like its owned by a monkey!

Otherwise its quite nice.

Red wheels chap with whitewall tyres!

Std slats in the grille & matching Zafira slats in the bumper would look good.

Looks nice apart from mesh and smooth tailgate.

Think smooth tailgates look awful on Nova's. (or any other car for that matter)

If you made a tailgate with LEGO, it would look like a flushed one.

Besides I reckon Novas with flushed gates look like Metro's.

Its the in thing at the moment though lol. Look at the new clio for starters.

Bigger brakes.

Styling wise, although I'm not a fan of smoothed boots, I think its suits that one. I'd agree with painting the mesh a darker colour, perhaps black wheels would look good too...

Aside from that, spend a bit of cash on brakes, suspension, decent tyres etc.
