Hi guys, This is a little update of what we've been up to for Matt recently........... As some of you know he's never been a big fan of the back end of his motor and has wanted to change it for a while. Now I just happened to have a mint early tailgate sat around which I let him have and he found himself a genuine gsi rear bumper. Im sure you can guess were this is going! However he did want to go for a smoother look so we welded up the holes and filled/primed it to suit...........





That was left over christmas to allow for any movement in the primer and blocked down once I was back in work along with the bumper. We opted to use the original 2k solid paint the car was previously painted in as oppose to base and clear not only for a better colour match but also so these panels will in time fade with the rest of the cars paintwork and not standout at a later date which is what could have happened if we'd have used a quality clear. Just earlier today I got the colour on and heres's the results..........










Hopefully tommorow will see them flat/polished ready for Matt to collect sometime later in the week. Im sure the majority will agree they should really suit the car and improve its overall look no end. I for one cant wait to see them on! This car is going to look stunning once its roadworthy again fella. Hope you enjoy the pics,

Nick.

Lovely Nick.

Cant wait to see this again. Not sure if i have seen it since took ownership.

[Southie]

Brilliant work as ever Nick, get on with your own now and stop teasing us

I've not seen this car in the flesh for a hell of a long time so I hope Matthew your bringing it out of the garage to some shows this year.

It's been so long I've forgotten what the back end looked like before, any before pics? lovely fresh paint as usual Nick.

Smooth boot, relocated recess plate in bumper iirc.

[Liam]

The new rear will look alot better but I must admit this is the only Nova that suits the smooth boot and number plate recess imo...

[scott.parker]

Yeah but you see, as im old and have seen this car loads of time over the years, i know and still think of it staying that way
But imo the smooth boot/plate recess is so 2001 an i like the fact matt's no putting his own stamp on it, as i think you have to when you buy an very recognized car.
