The key to finding this colour, was to source a Nice Subtle, Rich and Classy colour. I think I found everything with this, and altho there are other Blue Novas around, I think this should still stand out.

Thanks, Keith

Is it Ultra Blue then?

Or the blue that Mk3 Astra GSi's came in (saphire blue is it?)

Nope, its not a porsche colour, it would be a tad lighter than your old car mate.

Whoah, the colour is spot on. she's shaping up to be a dirty little bitch:thumb:

I understand you have a copy of Andy Bishops FMIC, any chance you could give me the details of the company that made it, i fancy a FMIC but don't want it on show. I posted on JOV but didn't get an answer from Andy yet.

There were 3 made on a group buy for Andy, Me and Mart. Its something new that hasnt been done before, and to be fair I dont want every Nova turbo running around with the same setup, and I really dont want others running around with it on there finished Nova's while mine is still in bits.

Hope you understand.

Well the car is finally fully painted (every single inch) in gorgeous blue. Here's the final pictures. I'll hopefully get some nice daylight ones (not indoors) next weekend.

Thats spot on Keith!

Must have coast a small fortune though! :eek:

Fair play to you, and yes Ade has done an amazingly good job.

I couldn't own a car like this, i would just get frustrated, wouldn't want to touch it or drive it, as i would hate to get it dirty!
