I am the best at the internet.

[TIDGE]

nice plates mate

[kevw]

cabling :cry:

[Novaload_Nick]

Quick update..
started to sort the dodgey wiring in the nova and found that its actually a MK1 with a MK 2 front lol kind of solves the problem of bad wiring!! When fitting the MK2 dash instead of replacing the MK1 loom with a MK2 they have just wired both together with tape and alsorts.. plus extra wiring for the 2.0 loom! not good!! so going to the scrapy next sat to get a MK2 loom and do it all properly..

also started to prep my dash to be sprayed, got some black vinyl paint which should look pretty snazzy!!

[big gra]

yea you can tell its a mk1 being on a h reg. get rid of the wingmirrors for proper white gsi ones, normal boot with a white gsi spoiler and it will look nice. i say do the callipers pink just to annoy everyone, haha.

[Novaload_Nick]

haha it annoy's every one being green never mind pink lol

[CoolTiger]

Right.. update!! me nd kev took a trip to a local scrapy called flint speed.. they had 2 nova's there, a MK1 and a MK2 which was stacked on the MK1.. and of course we needed the loom out of the MK2 lol quite a mission. Well took us about an hour ish to get the loom from the nova and then paid the guy 25 big ones for it including some plastics.. not bad hey!!
