Tucked my impreza away for winter so i can work on it and build on the BHP and iv always had vauxhalls before that, 3 corsas and an astra coupe. Obviously needed something to get about in for winter so i spyed this badlad for sale from a guy at work.

Nova Flaire 1.4I
59.440 miles

He only wanted ?700 for it so i snapped it up as it was ideal, was really pink but a bit of tcut and turtle wax have got it looking ok again. rust is minimal.

The day i got it

1st Nova mod should always be SR /GTE type seats followed by wider wheels IMO.

Looks like its a minter though, the sort of shell I should've bought to replace my GSi.
