[smcgsi16v]

do all nova back bumpers site like that???

They generally tend to drop with age and when the brackets start rotting.
Which is nothing unusal for a Nova.

Car looks nice in the sunshine.:thumb: Change the wheels when you get a chance.

[srs1]

cars looks nice and clean.

might need to drop a few mm to get the ride height looking a bit better.

[BIGS]

looks very nice. The only thing i would say to change are the wheels to gte ones

[MK1-GTE]

cheers bigs .... plans are afoot to shod her with a set of 16" momo corse ...:)

oh and find and refit all the gte badges etc ...

[DTR-DEVIL]

ohhhh veryy nice!, i love the way you have color coded bumpers, but your splitter and skirts keep have that just sprayed look! Think it goes together well nice.

B - e - a -uuutiful my friend :D

EDIT: Sorry, Dont change the wheels Suit it really well!

[NOV4_SPORT]

looking very nice mate.

iain

[NovaJackie]

very clean there, looks class, wheels are gd imo

[MK1-GTE]

thanks all ...:)

the wheels will go on the track car as the offset is a bit heavy on the steering and bearing for the wifes liking ...

a set of momo corse will be fitted soon :):)

[Martin]

nice work colours ace..

[J4MES]

Love the colour, rest isnt bad either ;)!!

[MK1-GTE]

thanks :) although cant really take credit for the colour as was done prior to me buying it ....all ill do is keep it clean and shiney ...lol

[meritlover]

it is a very nice look. but please try and adjust the back bumper so it sits straight on the quarter!
i think the colour is beautifull like a flower

[MK1-GTE]

the bumper will be sorted over the weekend my freind .....:)

[meritlover]

iam so glad. it is the small details that make novas so special.

[MK1-GTE]

indeed ..i shall be returning all the gte badges etc too ..:)

[craig green]

Wheels ruin it for me. From a mile off you can see they dont fit. MOMO's wont be any better either, they dont make them in the correct offset.

Colour is ace though & its so refreshing to see a mk1 Nova these days amongst all the mk2 facelifted stuff. Sort the rear bumper as posted & sit it on some subtle Vectra or Tigra wheels IMO.

[krobinson]

Like the car, Saw it at performance vauxhall show in 2006, but it was in the visitors carpark.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/keithrobinson/PV2006/IMG_0210.jpg

I'd change the wheels to some nice 16" softstars, speedlines, or some 15" tigra pentalines or cav cesaro rimms. That way they will fit and you'll be able to lower the ride a bit more too.

Keep up the good work, a nice car you have there :D

[Rickyb]

that is one clean motor mate :thumb:

[MK1-GTE]

cheer guys .... due to the arches being rolled and pulled i can get et40 16" on i hope ......

just realised ive even got the plates fitted in that pic in a box of bits too ...

[CP]

Clean - I like the colour

[joff-turbo-nova]

Like that lots ..... the tints may attract some grief from the rozzers though!

Joff

[MK1-GTE]

thanks ....and very true but tbh the car is never gonna go unnoticed ....lol

[MK1-GTE]

as the sun is shining out came the polish and gave the gte a going over ...

as always like taking pics so here`s a few including the new momo corse 16" alloys :)

[SRimon]

Not a fan of the wheels or tints sorry

Colour and kit is good tho

[MK1-GTE]

if we all liked the same things life would be very boring mate :)

[MK1-GTE]

anybody able to put a value to this car please ??

[Leeboo]

I'm usually a fan of just Vauxhall wheels etc, but those wheels actually look good on the car! Same with the tints - some how you manage to pull them off with the amazing colour! Whats the colour out of interest?

A very refreshing Nova to look at! :thumb:

cheers fella its alfa 156 pearl :thumb:

[twistysnovagte]

wicked looking she is mate,very nice indeed,have you not considered returning the original mudflaps(new) back to it aswell as the GTE decals,new wheels look sweet on it:thumb:

[Royston]

She looks really well, wheel/colour combination:thumb: , although I would think it will be a matter of time before your asked to peel the front side window tint off by the road side, or face £60 fine and 3 points, the police in my area are pretty keen on it! side glass must have 70% light transmission if I remember correctly:roll:

[MK1-GTE]

yep the tints im sure will get me a spot of bother as already had to remove them from my omega ..lol

have re applied gte logos to the doors just a grill badge to get ..

anyone know a rough value as she stands ??

[twistysnovagte]

ahh the grill it was for you wasnt it, ive seen that recently in the shed,the silver has worn on the lettering(GTE)but all the lugs are still on so its in sound condition just needs the lettering touching up with some silver paint pen etc,call it £50 and its yourslol,ONLYJOKING pm me your addy details mate:thumb:

[twistysnovagte]

infact ive just found it, will post a pic up for you soonno broken bit etc all good apart from the lettering has faded as previously said:thumb:
