the black is FAUX SUEDE
might have the dash done in black cos ive got plenty left, and trimming the gear gaiter to!
i'd flock the dash mate. cheers for that, my ma's a seamstress so its not an issue getting em done for me, i just liked the colours. ta for the info, it looks spanking. whats the plan for more power? bodies? nos?
yeah RST chris told me about getting it flocked but im not sure who or where to get it done?Quote:

hopefully having an evo with 360 BHP wont make me think my Nova is slow cos it power to weight ratio should still be impressive, but driving it will be the only way to find out
might do Throttle bodies with independent ECU which should give me an extra 30 horses on standard, 180 BHP would be aewsome!
and some photos of it being seem welded

and who could forget the original power lump C12NZ inc 45 BHP
Found my 1st PNG window sticker and welcome letter dated August 1999. My membership No. was 2155, didnt think i still had this LOL

ive just spoke with carl @ get flocked
gonna decide how much i want doing over the weekend, confirm prices with him and then get it posted early next week!
yeah just black i think cos it wont be an exact match to the blue im already using
would love it featured, think its good enough 4 total vauxhall?
indeed, esp on bodies ;) nice avatar btw.....
LOL taste the rainbow!
hopefully in b4 the bodies are fitted, that'll prob be next years project but i wanted 400 BHP in the EVO
after a ride in a 500bhp evo, a 250bhp nova feels the same dude.... still crack on, and keep the pics coming!!!!
i went in a 550 BHP EVO once, got in mine and felt absolutely gutted, but still it was way too fast for her majesty's roads!Quote:

The car is beiong fully repainted at end of april!!!! car is fitted with novadose sideskirts
I want peoples opinions on the sideskirts? should i leave them as u see them in the pictures or have them smoothed/blended in
i cant make my mind up!! OPINIONS PLEASE

Side skirts dont look too bad TBH. Its the rest of the kit that looks naff, IMO. Nice colour BTW.
my bumpers are GSi front & rear, skirts and spoiler arent factory as u can see but might be putting GSi spoiler on yet cos im not 100% happy with one on nowQuote:

u didnt answer the question though smoothed/ blended or as u see in pic?
u not tempted to go back to gsi skirts i think that would look good
Non blended IMO. Then if you want to change you can.
sometimes, GSi skirts are nice but i wanted it to be slightly diif from a factory gsi, hence the colour and the trim etcQuote:

ill be keeping these skirts 4 the near future
so as they are or blended?
im not a big fan of the novadose stuff but i think they work ok with the colour at the mo,id go for a set of GSI skirts tbh
If there staying, its blended for me and I think the spoiler is ace and should also stay
if i went GSi skirts, do i colour code or leave palstic ?Quote:

waxoyl is just fo inside the car, having the rset done at the bodyshop later this month
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...401/new015.jpg
come on boys and girls want more oipinions on whether the skirts should be left as u see them now or blended/smoothed in
and i want a pin stripe for the bumper, was thinking bright red??? any thoughts?
calipers are red, other colours ive thought are silver, black and maybe chrome
The skirts need to be blended in!
does anyone know of a pic of a nova with same novadose sideskirts as mine but blended in? so i can compare
search the old skool thread in general matey.
Jims are novadose I think...
