Anyone know the laws? As my car is not old enough would it be a fine?
Nice colour and bumper.

I was only giving an opinion, I wasn't saying he was wrong or telling him what to do - So shut the f*ck up!
And he asked me for pictures of my car to see how it looked and to see the exhaust :)

I am currently sorting out a corsa tophat for my cone air filter, and a Magnex back box hopfully the car will start to look and sound how i want it soon :)
1.2i engines sound tidy with a cone filter mate (Watch your fuel gauge go down as you'll want to hear it all the time)
I find my Magnex exhaust quite quiet which isn't a bad thing :) Will look the part mate
Im sure ill be quite happy with the cone filter, But i have another filter K&N Different shape which just bolts ontop i belive, so i will give both a shot and see what i prefer. As for the back box do i just unbolt current one and replace it? Or is there any modifactions i would hae to undertake to fit correctly.
Make sure your K&N isn't for a carb mate, might not be a straight fit
Backbox - It will need some gentle persuasion to come away from the centre section and should just pop out of the rubber bush/hanger
My Magnex backbox needed some mods to get it to fit as the bore was slightly bigger than the 1.2i bore
nah with my magnex its just hammer the old one off, slot the new one in and clamp it down
Well i have just arranged to pick up a few bits off a member at png :thumb:
Going to be getting bumpers on tomorrow. and then hopfully this week will take the nova for a drive on l plates lol Will be the first time i have driven a nova. Excitment much? :cool:
lol You'll be in for a treat mate, there really good fun to drive and the looks you get are mega :)
Im slightly worried tho, I dont want to hurt her :(.
+ I have to travel with my old man due to prov license.
You don't want to hurt her ? How do you mean ?
Kick it's head in lol
Like i am worried due to driving experince i dont want any accidents, I have had plently of lessons and taking my test shortly. I am pretty confident driver.
Is this when it breaks down on me? lolQuote:

I like how you say 'when' and not 'if', you must know Nova's well already lol
Ha muzzy, Its bound to happen. Plus Vaughanmc cheers buddy i will let you know how i get on driving the nova for the first time, So far i've driven a mini cooper and a fiat 500. Shall be intresting, No power steering im sure breaks are ****.
Brakes aren't as bad as folk make out - Aye the pedal isn't very responsive but they do their job! There great wee cars to drive, you'll love it
Very easy to drive as well
If you aren't used to power steering and any luxuries at all then you won't have a problem driving a Nova. They are very easy cars to drive.
Since your's is an SX here is a picture of one i owned a few years ago.
