Nice, its come out well :cool:
Does look good, especially for brush on paint.
You gonna take it to billing?
^ yup. will be there for cert.
looks really well mate.
i fancied doing a nova simalr colour a few years back.
after my bright orange nova.......but i never got round to it.
the novas suit bright....bold colours imo.
looks cool

At least its here eh..? Cracking on very soon.. yay.
oooo never seen ones like that before. very sexual indeed
pm. supply details dude
*Update..
A week too late as I wanted this update at least the night before PV but parts didn’t arrive, as mentioned in last update..
Anyway, we built the new coilovers back on to the bilstein inserts and stuck them on the car, finally being able to lower it as one wishes too with coilover suspension.

Now that ive actually fitted the bits we do have a snag that would have put chances of taking it to PV to sleep anyway; the ET37 steels on it now do catch the rolled rear arches so I cant take the car very far or above 20ish mph yet lol.. The alloys going on it are ET49 so shouldn’t have problems then.
Ended up making a start on the rear panelling , more mock ebay farbon cibre..
Much prefer it to the metal previously tho.. excuse the pants pic.

The x4 tyres ive gone for, nothin special, cost the same amount..
This nova looks awesome, i love it even with the seelies on lol
Ruddy hell thats low Dave!
Tbh those front coilovers with that spring combo, if u ask me, sits at -60mm/-65mm from std ride height, bout the same as usual gmax/pi/spax/whatever kits do.. It measures about 55cm from the floor to crest/top of arch lip anyway..
I want to see what it looks like, arch gap-wise, at the front, with the slabs and low pro's on. Im a bit finiky with lowering - want it to look right..
So if there becomes a bit of a gap, i may delv into buying some shorter springs to get it a smidge lower, if not then at least ill be able to wind the coilovers back up a bit.. We'll see. im sure it'll be fine.
Looking good
Thought it would have been more expensive than that :)Quote:

Oooh that looks damn fine!
The grille mesh needs to match the anth or black on the wheels.
Ready for a photoshoot with a decent camera now!
Looks like i was wrong! The slabs rock! The stance is just superb! Hope you have a large grin on your face!
Do they clear ok? Just need an exhaust now!
I agree with craig on the grille!
Thanks guys i am buzzing :-)
The wheels dont catch, yet lol.. as the 49 offset and rolled rears theres actually a fair bit of space,.. but i have (manouvring off our fairly steep driveway) managed to get the top flat/tread of the tyre to tickle the roof of the inside arch..
So u just have to take it steady on wonky roads..
Bouncy too..
Looks stunning mate - There the nicest looking Cav GSi wheels I've seen :)
yeah nice twist on the classic cav slabs
Love stain in my pants!!
Yummy!
Get some decent quality pics!
grrrr get some decent pics lol
Awesome!
Indeed, that makes cav slabs look good!
oooo ubber slammage, loving it fella
OMG, that looks awesome. The wheels suit it PERFECTLY :cool:
As said, go get some good quality pics ;)
looks good but i dont like the wheels, although im not sure which would suit it better (imo of course)
you must be chuffed with it
thanks guys, i am chuffed.. promise better pics soon, ..
hooting around in it as and when i can, getting the steering/suspension set up next week hopefully, see how it feels then..
The wheels are quite blingy, but it does just pull it off for me. Was worried theyde look a bit wheel trim ish..
Always wanted that stance/wheel combination for years. Had photo shopped all my novas wearing that look.. Finally got it for real now. :-)
very nice fella! :)
Stunning, rims look amazing.
Looks great, really like that!
Agree with Craig though, the silver mesh grill has to go, I said the same when John had the car in TV. Spray it black or go back to old skool slats ;)
