[Dan 130]

not bad loose the mirrors though

[d171jvf]

yeah the m3 mirrors are abit tacky, you can just get stubby nova ones.

[FUSION X16XE]

yer im thinking the same they love a good old shake lol may have to dig out the standard ones! cheers dan (anybody want to buy them???)

[adam c]

yeah take the mirrors off and gmax sticker and it will look nice.did you flock the dash yourself?maybe get a sri/gsi steering wheel as well?good luck with your test:thumb:

[FUSION X16XE]

cheers adam was kinda beging to think its **** lol yer im defo guna get rid of them mirrors and i want a different steering wheel (if any body has one for sale??) and thank you i really hope i pass ive been waiting soo long lol and yer i flocked the dash with the frost kit turned out pretty good tbh im in the process of doing the ash tray bit.

Looking good about time we saw your nova!!!

[euro sbd]

really nice mate a good set of speedlines would set that off a treat, defo std mirrors or carbon fiber stalk ones

[FUSION X16XE]

Thanks for the comments, going to have some pro race 1.2s in jan for my bday and some better buckets but i want to sort out the running gear over the winter. tom

[scott.parker]

That looks really good mate, yeah just mirrors as everyone els said.

doh! i gave my GSi wheel away about a month ago, you could of had it for nothing...

gool luck on test.

PS:how much was it to flock dash?

Scott

[Mike]

Liking the front bumper chap. Giving me ideas to do one for my front mount....

[FUSION X16XE]

scott i did the dash myself with the frost kit and last of the nova sr`s i bought the bumper off nudz sr off here and its totaly fibreglass much lighter than the standard gsi jobbie would be great for an intercooler. Tom

[Ernie]

Looks sweet fella but as said ditch the mirrors and i may have an GTE steering wheel soon i will let you know.Also good luck with your test.

[vaughanmc]

Flocking looks alright

Is it a hard job?

[Ernie]

looks flocking bang on to me lol.

[FUSION X16XE]

looks flocking bang on to me lol.

hahaha um i did it once and it was a little bit patchy due to not enough glue so i washed it all off and covered the thing in glue (till it was dripping off) and had another go and when i came to brush it off the next day it was pretty smooth and even:) couldnt get it any better without an electrostatic applicator, going to go do my ash tray bit in a sec while stenders is on lol :thumb:

[Ernie]

I would get down to the breakers mate and get some spare ones run of as think your onto a winner there.

slightly confused there lol :confused::confused::confused: flock to sell??

[euro sbd]

slightly confused there lol :confused::confused::confused: flock to sell??

yeah bud you could make yourself a bit of cash there, loads of people like flock dashes very cool indeed:cool:

[craig green]

Get more spare dashes...flock them & sell for profit.

Flocked binnacle looks good though I agree. Need to lose the mirrors & get a nice chunky leather steering wheel, poverty spec ones hurt the hands.

Cool car for a first motor though.

[FUSION X16XE]

tbh i was thinking if enough people are intrested i could purchase a electrostatic applicator and see how much postage would be as i may be able to do it cheaper than suffork flocking services and the like but it all depends on if i can get a cheap applicator as for the steering wheel its a nightmare lol its like driving a bus lol and as for the cool first car comment nobody likes it UNTILLL theve been in it and then they just dont understand how a 1ltr engine does it lol probs just my speedo tho reading 60 in 2nd gear?
