Stunning, Nick! I am a big fan of mk1's with that skinny bumper and grille combo!
I definitley don't think we see it enough.

Your car looks great, and as usual, is so clean! You should definitley look for some centre caps for your Racelines though. A nice finishing touch.

The way you like to colour-code your plastics and wheels is like being inside my head - except I think you paint better!

I'll join in with the composite bonding love-in, too. I bonded a brass boss into the hull of my jetski, and that hasn't been ripped out at 60mph + GPS speeds. As said, it holds panels onto cars and wings onto planes!

Good luck with the rest of it, mate!

If you want to avoid the screws just use double sided foam sticky pads, can get them most places that sell a plate in an appropriate 'level of stickyness'. I got some when I got some pressed metal plates from Dubmeister, and the only issue I had was on a textured bumper that wasn't really cleaned properly, where the plate bends around the front bumper (BMW E34) Other than that they're still stuck there and the front hasn't been a problem with the 2 remaining pads (should really get that fixed though)

I've used sticky pads many times before with no issues but the front plate is under a fair bit of tension were it curves in the middle and the area is ribbed not flat so I'm pretty sure they wouldn't work. But it's not something I'm fussed over as I am trying to be a bit more period with this project exterior wise and don't mind the screws etc.

Cheers fella, I'm very happy with how's it's coming along and have never owned a nova with this bumper setup so a first for me too. I was bidding on some caps for the wheels but they ended up going for daft money in the end. I'm sure you said in a previous post though you know we're to get them new? If so can you please drop me a pm as if their not daft prices I would get some. Cheers,

Nick.

Will dig out the contact info mate. I definitley bought them through Speedline though. They said they were now the official Raceline supplier.

An idea of how they look:




They just need the centre dimple/rough end smoothing over and they're ideal imo.

I thought I read somewhere that Compomotive ones fit?

[Balley]

You require these sir

[Benn]

Warm the plate in the middle then gently bend. Then you can match the bumper shape and stick on.

They are later Revolution centre caps for RFX etc.
I too have heard that Compomotive ones fit.

IIRC the genuine Raceline ones used to fit from behind the rim.

I heard about the Compomtive ones too, but Speedline led me to believe they were correct. Trying to find a pic of RL7's with centre caps fitted it a bit of a task

[Liam]

All of these are fitted with Compomotive centre caps so they should fit

[Benn]

Good enough for a Lambo and all...
