back from spray shop.

[James P]

right well about 4 months ago my mum crashed into the side of my door so i had to get a new 1 and smoothern the lock off, and when i was putting the 2ltr in her some t**t came along and scratched two of my alloys with a screwdriver for now apparent reason, and the front bumper just got abit crappy after taking it off every now and then.
so i brought a gsi front bumper and smoothed just the top line out.
it cost me ?250 for the body shop to change the door and paint everything.
so basically i just wanted your opionions.

also getting a splitter for it this week.

Ive never been a fan of that colour, but its certainly different.
Liking the smooth gsi bumper, and the black insert.

Looks a decent job.

[James P]

thanx mate

[Martin]

car lookin pretty damn hot now mate..

does the rear bumper match? ie. the top line smoothed to?

cant wait to get my bumpers/splitters/skirts and grille back from bodyshop and put the car together for the 1st time since feb lol

whats next?

[staggy_gsi]

looks alot better with the gsi bumper on, but im not a fan of smoothing the lines in. still looks mint though!

[Saloony]

Seen you mincing round lee-on-solent alot recently, and of course seen it parked in your drive down there.... truthfully mate them pics are totally crap, the car out in sun cruising about is truely stunning, top work!!

[smcgsi16v]

I like the black insert, thats a nice touch not often seen.
Smoothing that line makes the bumper look more simple and modern.

[James P]

thanx lads. and yer the back bumper is smoothed aswell.
thanx saloony i think your car is smart as f**k aswell. and your girlfriends nova is lush, i love her front lights!!!
the plan next might be hydrolics or sell her and get a merc 190e cosworth.
that wont be until ages yet tho

[Saloony]

Glad someone likes her lights, nobody wants to buy them tho, lol Hers is now sold, some nipper in fareham has bought it, his friend at PMCC knows my car. Change is on the cards for the saloon. Cheers fella.

[dave.gsi]

its certainly bright lol

bumpers looking cool though, and as said the black is a nice touch.

did i hear hydrulics? on a nova?:eek:
save them for the merc

[NovaLad]

Looking good.

Wish somewhere round here would charge me 250 for a spray job lol

[Martin]

16 switches ;)

[craig green]

Looks good.

Have you sorted an exhaust that fits yet & is the rear bumper still a GTE one?

Crazy colour though. The white wheels make it madder.

[rednova]

i like that a lot - well done mate

[ade]

right well about 4 months ago my mum crashed into the side of my door so i had to get a new 1

lol I hope it was a door and not a new mum!

Looks really nice although the colours gonna make a few drunks puke - Love the front bumper - nice job!

:thumb:

[James P]

yer the back bumper is still the same.

i might be buying another nova for ?1000, its a 2ltr 16v with full roll cage and cavy slabs. total sleeper. do you think thats good?

[James P]

ive changed the exhaust now, still the same 1 but i cut the end down and re-welded it so its more stumpy.

Loads classier, but why not de-lock it too?

[Mazz]

Each to their own i suppose, but raelly like it!

[hughesthelegend]

**** bumpers,**** car and **** colour,...................just kidding mate pics dont do this car any justice, you have to see it close up to appreciate how smart the whole thing is, especially compared to what it used to look like, well done james fcukin lush mate.

Am I the only one who likes the old bumper ? Looks meaty, splitter fits so neat.......:D

GSi bumper looks skinny without a splitter (unless it's "in the weeds") ;)

Filled centres make the wheels look mahoosive, clever :thumb:

Overall, looks very nice, but please lose the chav sunstrip :(

[craig green]

Man is talking sense.

[James P]

i like the sun strip!!!? when your inside the car it feels different with the sunstrip.guna defently make it smaller tho.
and im getting a front splitter soon as possible. i know it doesnt look right. im guna get one of the smaller renault laguna splitters with no holes and fit it as far back as i can, but you will still be able to see it. when i get one and its on ill put pics up straight away. thanx for your input.

[novaco]

looks ten time better!!

only thing i would do is change rear bumper for a mk2..same as front with smoothed line...and paint your boot grab handle black...

[paddy138]

i like the bumper with the black insert looks more modern. class car by the way. any more pics of it

[GRUNT 16V]

looking good glad you shortend the exhaust!!

[James P]

here's some new random pics ive taken.. v
