been a struggle to find time to get the little things done to the nova and the lack of sun has stopped any photo oportunitys of my nova since its been resprayed.

today i first the dealer sport mudlflaps on, only one side though to see if i liked the look of them, still not sure so what do you think???

then i put the mistrals on but the tractor tyres they came with meant they had to come straight back off.:(
fitted some tsw's i had lyin around, which i quite like the look of on the nova.

few more things to do but getting there slowly.

looks good.

agree with the second lot of wheels.

and i personally would loose the plate, draws less attention to yourself from the cops.

cheers for the comments,

the plates are just for show.velcro pads make it easy to swap between the road legal ones and these.
its being garaged for the winter now so these were the last pics.

keith, yeah the exhaust mounting rubber has stretched causing it to hang low, so need to get a new one. :thumb:

the pics don't show it very well but the boot where the vynal should be has been sprayed anthracite, aswell as sideskirts and b pillar.

cheers, i'm not a fan of using actual vynal due to water getting behind it,found a fair few patches of rust behind the boot vynal and also my old sr had lots of problems.

real vynal is a pain to keep looking new after a while aswell unlike paint.

i did the same on my old sr and that pretty much made up my mind paint is better:

I prefer the Mistrals, get some proper tyres on, drop the rear so it sits level.

WINNER.
