I did think the same when I saw it at the Nats Scott. But I wasn't 100% sure so I didn't mention it. Are you going to PVS Sunday?
Shall I bring the spirit level? lol
Didn't go to PV, and Ive seen what "making" the bump strip look on the piss, it's slightly come away on that near end close to the door, so need to some how stick it back slightly..
Any way, my latest additions are..
New bumper/rub strip gold stripes..

Gave the car a dam good clean and polish (4 to 5hrs worth! lol) first it's had since Nats due to crap weather/lack of time..

This is all for now..
Scott
Not too keen on all the stickers tbh :(
Theres no more going on the outside now (well not unless it's very good) and im guessing you might hate my future plans for the car lol Ive got an idea for a retro 90's under bonnet look..Quote:

this makes me smile looks ace, and them wheels i always thought looked ****e but you have helped me see clearly.:d
Gold trim tape is really nice detail. Sunstrip is nice too. Really don't like all the stickers tho, no need for them.
Cheers dude, well you might like the changes!Quote:

Soooo.. After being let down twice by Framptons, i chased them up twice and both times said they would get back to me, and still have not, so i found an online place to get some new plates made, OK there not alloy pressed, and there not 100% the same as what was on the car, but there in the correct fonts, and have the car sale garage name on the bottom, there all legal and look OK i think, so stop you bitching about the plates now! lol

lol
Looks really nice Scott
Awesome little touches through out the car
Much else planned for it ?
Seen this at billing up close and talking to you about, it looks well smart mate really like the mirrors mate
Iain
Gutted i didn't really get a proper look at Billing.
Looks really smart mate, really like the mirrors aswell
Stunning fella. It's come such a long way!!
Love this Scott, Cracking looking motor. The wheels really make the car!!!
Looks great nice touches on it couldnt belive i missed the mirrors when i had a look round it. lol
New MOT, straight through, Ive only done 3.295 miles in a year! lol
has anyone els got these new mot's? there well odd, you just get a receipt to say its passed now, as the certificate is on the VOSA database!
Just re insured it, £219 FC for both of us,Tax it Monday for £135 12 months, so just over £400 OTR for a year.
Not bad considering i pay £350 by my self to insure the Astra, and its £250 12 months tax!
Scott
Love this, so simple & right.
Hi Scott, I have done 500 miles in my nova since march but its my second car though. I have just put a new mot on mine. It failed on emissions. Just needed the carb tuned and it runs much better :). My insurance fully comp with me only on the policy (I am 31 btw) is £190 classic insurance with limited miles of 3k and with an agreed price certificate.:thumb:Quote:
