Tomy, the owner, is one of the guys who is in love with his cars.
thumb up!
thats gorgeous,nice and subtle
Yeah that really does it for me too. And not because of the wheels!
Probably one of the best on this thread so far, those wheels really suit it.
Does anyone know what these wheels are called????:roll:Quote:

Not sure now, but I will ask the owner. He sold them to GB a couple of weeks ago.
Seem to be such wheels, (by the way: greetings to you Beany from Germany ;))
So far I'm new here to your forums, I want to introduce myself
now.
I am as well as Beany is from Germay.
Driving Novas/Corsas is my hobby and my burden. Nearly every time and
money I have beside my girlfriend is spend on my two cars.
I'm studying teacher for Mathmatics an Physics at Magdeburg's
Otto-von-Guericke University.
In addition I'm working at a big market for tools and such things.
To introduce my cars, I like to show you some pictures:

This is my car, I'm driving every day.
Up to now its a Opel Corsa A-CC 1.4 Model: "SwingPlus"
which was a reimport from Finland (built in 1993)
It features:
- heated seats
- lowering kit
- original GSI-Alloys
- Irmscher front and rear bumper
- original GSI-sideskirts
- another exhaust
- original GSI-Interrieur
- electrical working windows (how are these called in proper english?)
- some details added to the engine (going now 11,30 sec over 1/8-mile)
- some other details such as ICE
If you like to see my car on another site, have a look on www.modelnovas.com
And my second one I am working on at the moment:
http://home.tiscali.de/corsamanta/TR_06-09-08_2.jpg
http://home.tiscali.de/corsamanta/TR_06-09-08_4.jpg
This is my Corsa TR (Saloon) which was built in 1986.
It's a former 1.3 with 44 kW.
At the moment it's out of order for rebuild and redesign.
The wheels will remain the same.
What I'm working on:
- mount a complete Irmscher-Body-Kit
- redesign to have the old face (of pre '91 build novas)
- install an C16NZ-engine
- complete a leather interieur
- installing ICE
- and of course fight against the rust
Hope I joined the right topic for my reply.
So far, regards
Hi and welcome!! not sure if the red nova/corsa a is right for this thread ( looks nice though! :) ) but the saloon definately is :thumb:Quote:

Thanks Phil,
I'm doing my best with the saloon. Hope it will be the result i thought about
a few months ago.
Are saloons in UK as rare as they are in Germany (especially the ones with
2 doors)?
yes 2 door saloons are pretty rare here in the UKQuote:

Thats RS1 off mig's old car, long since scrapped i think. I did have the bumpers, bonnet and boot untill recently when i threw the bonnet and bumpers and sold Hayzee the boot.
LUG looks minted :)
yep! One of the best features of this car has to be the reg etched through the door handles iirc. Didn't it have black wheels at a later date??
The BMW bumpered Novas I thought was from up this way?
Yeah I can see why you'd throw them out!Quote:
