They are retrimmed Nova ones with extra padidng I think as they are much more comfortable and softer than standard Nova ones.

I ordered some Team Heko wind deflectors off Ebay and they turned up today so I fitted them:

I also got my clear rear lights and just finished tinted them (I gave them a couple more coats after the last picture as they wern't red enough):

I also got a new GTE front bumper without the holes and pins holding it on and also a GTE rear bumper that are getting sprayed gloss black next week. I am also going to Rally Design tomorrow as they are only down the road to go and pick up an Ashley exhaust system to suit the GTE bumper.
Fingers crossed, they may also be a big update in a couple of days (new heart) lol
As i'm so impatient, as soon as the lights were dry I removed the masking tape and got them fitted lol:

Seats look lovely pal!
Looking well smart buddy
Loving the lights mate !
Cheers guys. It will look much better with the GTE rear bumper and Ashley exhaust I think!
should get some speedlines on it matey
yep looking good but like some 1 els said dont think the square numba plates look that good tbh
Never! All I need is some smaller tyres on the RFX's and that is it.
Right, I've now acquired this little gem for the sum of £220! It's a cat C but all I want it for is the engine! It's a Corsa Sport with a X16XE which I'm going to be putting in the Nova in the next month or so. I will be breaking the whole car when I get it next week and hoefully make some money on the parts and get an engine and all the running gear for free.

Small Update!
Nova will be taken off the road at the end of April for it's new heart transplant!
Meanwhile, I got a single wiper conversion and got that fitted. Also sprayed my grill insert and grab handle gloss black, which look OK'ish lol

I also had the Nova up on the ramp and fell in love with the rear height. If only it could sit like that, looks f***ing mental!

I have been down the bodyshop all day rubbing down my long awaited GTE rear bumper and front bumper. Will be primered tomorrow and finished the middle of next week:

In a week or so it will be coming off the road and having the engine bay painted red and then the X16XE engine from the corsa will be making it's way in and hopefully it should all be back together for Billing.
Nice to see it and you Saturday mate, your camera pic looks nice and vivid now. :)
Cheers Jeff. Was good to see HUA and how well it has been built. I have been playing around with the vivid setting alot now lol
Great project mate, car looks spot on
Looking smart mate
Cheers guys!
I went down to Ashford yesterday to pick up another Cobra Monaco bucket seat off Adams Nova and ended up going home with a GSI dashboard (£20) and carbon fibre door cards (£10). I have been looking for a mint dashboard for ages so that was a bonus and because they were cheap I couldn't resist.
Some pictures:

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...d/IMG_1208.jpg
got some right bargains there mate, you've done a great job on the car aswell
It's finally begun!
The Nova's insurance was swapped over yesterday and I am now the pround driver of this:
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...86610797_n.jpg
I shall be starting the conversion some time this week and hope to have it all back together for Billing. It's booked in to have the engine bay painted at the end of the month and I shall be getting the engine bay stitch welded before hand. I know I don't need to stitch weld the bay but as it's being painted I may aswell do it now for "when" I put an XE in it in the future.
I have had a change of plans with the car and I am going to run a stripped out interior. I have just bought a 6 point roll cage, bucket seats, carbon fibre door cards and I am on the lookout for some 3" harnesses and some sort of false floor.
I took the RFX's off the Nova as I am putting them on the Polo whilst the Nova's off the road so it is currently looking like this out on the road (propper sleeper look lol)

Yep, Connor is kindly swapping my tyres for me so they shouldn't look like balloons and scrub the arches anymore!
^^it's a good look,Quote:

The strip down of the Corsa began today. Only managed to spend a couple of hours on it but managed to get most of the front end off. I also decided to put the wheels back on the Nova to see what they look like and WOW what a differance! I think I may need to lower a bit more now lol
Anyway here are some pictures:

Not too much rust around the structural areas lol
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...d/IMG_1242.jpg
I cut the slam panel out as it will be easier to get the engine out. I had loads of fun hack sawing a Corsa to bits lol

All back in the garage ready for another day's hacking tomorrow and then it's engine out and off to the graveyard for the Corsa where it belongs lol
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...d/IMG_1275.jpg
Tomorrow is a busy day Liam cant wait to strip this even more :P
Could you take pics of what you remove from the engine mate, as ive considered this conversion on mine, and although im considering selling, id like to do what you are if no one takes her away from me,
Also getting another car was a good move as then you can take your time, ill be doing that also haha,
Nova looks good mate, when your done, im assuming youll give it a good clean after all that hard work, Get some auto glym tire dressing, its great.. Will bring those tires up a treat!
Keep it up mate! have to make it to the next nova meet i think :P
Thank you. Yes, when it's done it will all be cleaned up nicely. The wheels will be getting resprayed and tyres will be treated with some tyre dressing.
why didnt you have me leave the tyres off so you could have the repainted propley then i would have put the tyre on for youQuote:

...But I have changed my mind and have decided to go with the c20xe. Mainly due to dad saying that, what is the point in doing all this work when you will want a 2.0 in a couple of years which is true.
So, I have sourced a nice, looked after, someones pride and joy Calibra that I am going to look after and treasure! ;)lol which I shall hopefully be collecting next Wednesday!
It does make sense really if that's what you'll want later down the line...
Is it this one Liam lol
http://cdn.nitrobahn.com/wp-content/...06/veyron1.png
Actually, It does like a little bit like that lollol
1600Xe will be a better drive and cheaper on insurance
Be surprised Edd, the corsas are quite high groups, and the Calibra isnt really.Quote:

My dad has a traders policy and is looking to add me to it on renewall, so hopefully should be all good. Otherwise, If he can't add me I will just have to stay with the Polo until I can insure it legit.
but you have everything do do the 1600? lol
very nice car mate
Cheers mate. I know... it would be easier to fit the 16xe as it will just drop straight in and it's "differant" but for some reason I've completely changed my mind and now want a redtop yo lol!
