Few pics of the new toy

[novacabrio]

Off this week so thought I better give the Nova a good polish, I've had it just over a week and its probably seen more rain in the last 8 days than the last 8 years!! So good coating of Megs and I took it out for a few pics, passed a gritter tonight on the A1 so this maybe its last time out until next year by that time it should have the full Kingdon bodykit on it and some new wheels, 19s? :thumb:

Top stuff, car looks stunning! are they scratches i can see over the sri decal though?

[Jack]

[chimp007_uk]

Polishing cratches, ever so slight, they show up with sunright at certain angles, Ive got a day booked with thevaleter.com soon

[Rexy]

i'll give it the due's... thats certainly shiney.

[novacabrio]

that looks really nice!! personal opinion, don't put the bodykit on...!!!

I think it'd make it unique?

[vaughanmc]

Stunnin Mark - I like the bodykit idea......................NOT!

:D

[John]

I think it'd make it unique?

No the 21" chrome spinners will make it unique!
Pmsl @ you marklol .
Black is the worst colour to keep clean imo. It tends to over accentuate even the smallest imperfection. Prob why the polishing scratches can be seen. What will they do mark, flat them out? is it base coat/laquer or solid colour?

[Jack]

I think this kit would really make the car stand out

[novacabrio]

its as polishing treatment he can do thevalter.com is craig from JOV lol

and it isnt just normal met black, its solid Black!! the GSI was a nightmare but this is going to be worse, but i'm up for a challenge!! :thumb:

Bare in mind the paint job is 6 years old aswell I dont think it is to bad

[Rexy]

I think you should go down the route of the "rat Look"

[sport]

You thought about getting sri badges on the doors the same as the one on the tailgate? Im sure they were on at some point.

[novacabrio]

Nick has some but can't find them at the moment, It is some thing I have thought about

[sport]

Think it would look quite good.

[ade]

love the spots in the front bumper - v nice...

[NovaLad]

Your not going to seriously but a body kit on that are you????

If you are being serious then PLEASE DON'T... The car is lovely the way it is especially that bumper with the lights!!!

Leave the car the way it is.

[Adam]

Leave the car the way it is. FPMSL lol lol
Please, as if hes going put that kit on lollollol


Tis a very nice example indeed, personally id fit a slatted grill, and add slats to the bumper cutout.

In that last pic, is that a reflection off the doors paint? :eek::eek::eek:

[Riggy]

lol @ the people actually thinking that mark goin to fit a kit FPMSL

as said when you came down to our mark it is mint , but i agree with ad , wamt a std grill and no big mouth

as for the last pic , its the door open a little , can just see the sideskirts at the bottom

[tom_beverley]

FPMSL I think its safe to say it won't be kitted lol lol lol

Looks lovely and for a 6 year old job it looks immaculate still! I can't get over how smooth and shiney the paint is, some of those reflective shots look awesome.

I wouldn't know what to change, SRi door decals would look good though and break up all the black IMO

[craig green]

Damn. I'll stop saving my pennies now Nick has sold it then.

Atleast its gone to a good home. Enjoy her Mark.

[Jack]

lmfao! lol

NLIAH

[matthew172]

looks great mark but keep it hidden from the gritters lol

[novacabrio]

I will mate, got to get her up on axle stands soon and sort a few bits of for powder coating and painting.

[Martin]

Mark if your wanting a std grill hit me up, ive stil got that brand new one.. only its mistral grey, stil in 2 pieces aswel..

[Cormac]

You stick a kit on that and ill come over and break your legs... lol

Stunning machine!

[Martin]

I think you will find that the paint on the roof and tailgate are the original paint

[novaowner999]

[tom_beverley]

JUST DONT DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!

[matthew172]

well i must admit mark im all for the body kit

[novacabrio]

I had something like this in mind

http://www.barryboys.co.uk/photos9/ststevenova2.jpg

I think with the XE in it, it will take more by suprise, as for wheels

http://passwordjdm.com/images/Products/Volk%20Racing%203%20Spoke%2017%20Thumb.jpg

to complement the Jap look?

[Martin]

thats the **** mark get it done..


when its done i'l give you 8k for it mate.. got themoney waiting

[Riggy]

FPMSL that wil look DA BOMB mark , and them wheels will proper look FO SHIZZLE

[SRimon]

very, very, very jealous mark...

Is soooooo clean :)

[SRimon]

I tell you one thing I always thought out of place on this car and thats the SR/GTE spoiler with all mk2 facelifts....

Maybe a GSi one might suit it more? Just a thought...

[sport]

I thought the spoiler worked well on this car, not usually a fan of mixing the mk1/2 parts. But it will change when the kits fitted.

[novacabrio]

GSI Spoiler has crosseed my mind

[RJM25R]

I think change the wheels (something rare-speedlines perhaps? LOL!) and GSI rear/standard front bumper. That's what I planned when I was looking at buying it 18 months ago....

PS Joking about speedlines, but I would change the wheels......... ? Something exclusive and/or split rimmed????

[novacabrio]

RL7s are what I fancy!!

[krobinson]

People are going to hand their heads in shame when I put speedlines on mine again. Oh well!!

Keith

[Paul]

That is a stunning machine, howver Mark I agree with the above comments about standard grill and spoiler, also changing the wheels, even if its just the colour of them? I mean the more little touches you do to it will hopefully make people see it as yours and not Nick's old car.

End of day your car, your choice :)

[SGA33]

lovely car, i was just reading the article that was in max power about it when it just had the original engine in looked lovely then :)

[RJM25R]

People are going to hand their heads in shame when I put speedlines on mine again. Oh well!!

Keith

TBH it wouldn't be right for you to NOT have speedlines, along with the vented wing and the GSI kit it's your "trademark" look really, isn't it!!!

I don't dislike speedlines, they look ace, but putting them on Marks new car would be a step backwards........

[Ben]

Nice car but the not to my taste, front end looks to cluttered with the fogs grill etc,

RL7's would set it off nicely imo

[paulnova]

that looks mint! got yourself a gooden there!!
