I'm gonna put this in the muppet corner because I feel like one.

In case any of you don't know, I have a 5 door nova, and I need a front wing.
I can't find this bloody wing, cos I was told that a 3 door nova wing wouldn't fit a 5 door, and as 5 doors are a bit grannified they must all be hidden away cos I can't find one of the b*stard things anywhere!

Now, I've had a couple of people tell me that all nova wings are the same and I'm being stupid, so...

WILL A 3 DOOR NOVA WING FIT A FIVE DOOR???

Someone out there please help me...

lol lol lol lol lol

Im sure it will fit, but the three door and five door have different looking wings.

As said, Hatch wings will fit but wont match the rear arches. Saloon wings are the corrwect one as well, so this might help...

OOOOO! I need the wing for the drivers side!

I already tried the vauxhall spares... no luck. And a vauxhall specialist scrapyard. I've looked everywhere!

Google for Hadrian auto panels, or Sel Imperial, if you want new (albeit pattern) items.

All Nova wings are the same in terms of fitment, the only difference is the 3dr hatch has the gayhat "square" arch; the saloons and 5drs have round arches.

Have you looked on ebay? Usually find arches on there.

Actually now you mention it, no, i'm probably not a typical woman, I own an xbox 360 and a ps3, I love cars, I love football, I can drink most men under the table and nearly all of my mates are guys.

Next question? :)

Just had to declare my car off road as I won't find the parts in time before my tax and MOT runs out.
I feel strangely depressed now :(

Fit a 3dr wing in the mean time. It'll look odd but it'll be usable and keep you going until you get a replacement.
