I'm envisaging a polo harlequin themed nova now- blue shell, black bonnet, grey bumpers, white wings and tailgate :wtf:Quote:

I was thinking the same tbh, I was only messing about the paint weight saving ( altho I've done sillier things lol)Quote:

Probably not yet, its 120 plus VAT then paint on top of that, and the time it takes... Bolt on panels are easy lol.Quote:

awesome who did you get your bonnet wings and tail gate from, i keep looking at some one euro rallye but all quite pricey!
Hope you didnt want fr indicators?
LOL
Not sure what to do on that front. Either some side repeaters as front indicators mounted in the bumper or as I was thinking of fitting one motorbike wing mirror I could fit two with indicators built in (may look a bit chav :confused: )Quote:

Did a bit of weight saving for a change today.
Chopped out the wheel well, trimmed some of the excess off my new FG tailgate (it was a bit heavy lol )
Wheel well before and after

And using the convenient access hole, a demonstration of just how light my nova really is ( this is with the steel tailgate too!) lol

One thing that just occured to me, seeing as you're taking this weight thing very seriously, how much does the bootlifter weigh?
Same arches on mine!
I've got a fibreglass boot now, so no more boot lifter for me ;)Quote:
