My latest nova

[db_1.2]

Well i had it a while now, its gone through a few stages but heres how it stands at the minute, planning to get the outside done soon, got a friend who will do it cheapish just looking for ideas at the moment though, ill get some shots of the bay soon but its not looking too great right now! Anybody got any ideas? Looking to get coilovers soon, going to be keeping the bumpers as its something a bit different.

Opinions please:thumb:

Normally see novas with colour coded bumpers and grey skirts instead of the other way around lol .

It's a conspiracy i tell ya!!!

lol

[Riggy]

looks tidy , not a fun of the bumper but hey ho

[db_1.2]

Yeh i was unsure but i dunno, see what it looks like when its painted if i dont like it then it'll be standard gsi one.

Seats are from a spitfire! Na dunno what there from, seen them in a manta once? Ive never been keen on the vauxhalls attempt at ''recaros'' too small and slim, even in new vauxhalls like an astra bertone. These are real recaros but missing the recaro badge which will be replaced soon.

Its not a private plate but im gonna get new plates with the 5 moved over so that it looks like a private one:D

Ill put a spec down sooner or later but its not really worth it, nothing special.

[db_1.2]

Update, got front end done. Back end to be done after christmas

[SKoob]

looking alot better with the colour coded front

[DTR-DEVIL]

Agreed! Love the big mouth! Pics of the engine bay?

[db_1.2]

Cheers people.

Ill get a few pics in the daylight maybe tomorrow. Got my GSI rep stickers on now too.

Shes getting there, step by step

[db_1.2]

My girlfriend just got me some heat wrap for my exhuast for christmas, but reading about heat wrap after searching on here, is it a good idea to put it on the standard XE manifold? Its the 4-2-1 pretty sure its standard. Wont crack or anything will it?

[FUSION X16XE]

you got the same bumper as me! i was woundering what it would look like with the number plate moved down to the splitter but i dont think i like it there. very nice car mate and those seats are v.nice if you want to sell them pm me lol

[db_1.2]

Lol, nope afraid i dont want to sell them, cheers for saying there nice though, i like to try and be different. Hopefully it should be at pv next year.

[Adam]

Get some decent pics up! Lol

Big mouth doesn't look right without a big IC sitting there.
It does look better colour coded tho :)

[db_1.2]

I dunno i quite like it, dare i say more than a standard gsi one?!

Ive noticed already the standard gsi look has started to wear out or maybe its just no ones mentioned it for a while.

The only trouble with this bumper is that its fibreglass and sags in the middle like others i seen.

I will get some decent pics up soon, probably wait till the rest is done so maybe next week. Got my gsi stickers on my girlfriend gave me for xmas :). Anyone got any answers on my heat wrap query?

[db_1.2]

Ok i got another pic i took last night to put up but its not great and my camera on my phone is sh*t. (why would a brand new phone have a worse camera than my old one?!)

Anyway

[nova_carb]

not to fond of the wheels...car itself is mint ;)

[db_1.2]

You dont like cav slabs?!

Gonne get coilovers soon and turret the rear, wont be till the summer though, ''If i was a rich man''

[nova_carb]

looks way better with the front bumper colour coded :)

[db_1.2]

Cheers :)

[db_1.2]

Got this to put on too, i just want to be reasured that the manifold wont crack if i put the red heat wrap on

[Steve]

Not sure bout the manifold but the car looks pretty sound, as others have said, not to keen on the big mouth or the cav slabs, but its your car.

Seats are definetaly mk1 astra gte's, they seem to suit the nova well!

[db_1.2]

I got a new pic whilst i was up my dads in liverpool.

I quite like the way it looks now, i just wanted something different and im glad i can say all the work is my own.

Anyway:
