Cheers its the original colour glacier white .
Been busy on this past few weeks fitted rear window surrounds and front trims painted in graphite grey. Also fitted the clear repeaters and new rear lights. Then today got my early spec tailgate on with custom vinyl and decals on along with the sr spoiler. I know it aint a genuine gte and didnt want a rep either so hence i wanted something a little different. Some pics of work. Need to adjust the boot now as spoiler catching at the top. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7f45597e30.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2b94ca008f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...346db418ac.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1b9222e39b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...881e97dc1a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cb603c0449.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8e418cc0a5.jpg

And there is me Joking about you having my Sting up on your wall as inspiration.
Graphite and White works.. really well. Love mine in that combo, but I'm glad we have slightly different touches, like your bumpers being full graphite, mine just being the bottom section.
Good work on getting that level of finish from spraying outside.
Now, go enjoy it again.
Hahaha yeh defo goes pal cheers for the good feedback this is my daily now has been since February feel bad it's out in all weather's but needs must only cost me £19 month insurance and not a lot in fuel.
And they say that new cars are more efficient. Lol

Like that Mate. I need to get my act together, you're ahead of me now. Lol.
How low have you gone at the back?
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Lol its 100mm on rear custom springs.
Not done much to the nova for a while so with being in isolation and weather being ok thought would get on with painting skirts and will be doing the bumpers grey instead of black aswell . So whipped off the o side skirt and cracked on prepping it. Some pics of the prep had a few deep scratches so stoppered them. Rear fin was rubbed back and primed. Will get some more pics in a bit if them painted. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6a93de3ab8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac73051b44.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9c39fe2db2.jpg

Since its lockdown and the weather is mint I decided to get all the wheels off today and scrub inner arches and floor so I can get busy with the waxoyl! Pleased to say all is very good underneath and inner arches with no rust. Also cleaned the wheels inside and out and waxed up.
1st offside rear wire brushed and waxoyled.
Chassis leg cleaned and waxoyled along with the rear floor ect.
Then did the rest of the car/wheels. Pics :

Cheers it's now a full gte rep minus the interior!
Iam busy building a c20ne turbo now for this something I always wanted to do I know it's cheaper to buy a let but want to do it and I know a lot get started but not finished. It's a project that will take time and money so will be slow. Spec will be
C20ne block new bearings ect.
C20let pistons and rods
T3 turbo on rs turbo manifold on vauxhall flange
Eco tech red injectors
Afr
Modified steel c20let headgasket
Gonna run standard management first then if all well in the future go aftermarket. Will sort some pictures of where iam upto.
Look forward to seeing them.
Always good to see things done differently
