[craig green]

Get another saloon rear bumper upside down/underneath the other one to give it a deep look to match the front.

Looks cool though. Is it covered in dents?

[Bubba]

deck it...take the springs out :P lol thats looks awsome

[saloonwoody]

i got a strip front bumper but its got a little split on the corner but your welcome to it im only gonna chuck it ? slam it on some 13s like mine ;)

[craig green]

deck it...take the springs out :P lol thats looks awsome

:roll: That'll handle well.

[Jack]

Put the steel wheels back on, lower it a touch - but not as much as the shop - and either put the facelift strip bumper on the front with an SR grille, or get a Mk2 rear bumper. Then it would look good :D

[ward]

well not much been going down with the nova recently put ive pulled me finger out a little bit today got the gsi interior from 'paul' (cheers mate) and fitted it as quick as i could also gave it a quick wipe over.

comments more than welcome.

Looks nice mate. i think the front would look much better with a mk1 bumper keeping it retro.

Good work, much better looking now you have it.

[Paul]

mk1 bumper FTW

[burgo]

interior looks really good. bumper really lets it down tho

[J4MES]

mk1 front bumper is defo needed!! other than that it looks good....

[Aky]

Very tidy ;)

[dj_wudgey]

get a mk1 bumper and slam it to the ground matey then it will look mint as f*ck!!!
