    looks nice - I would have gone for different colour aloys myself though - dark colours only really work on contrast with light bodywork - or change away from low profile tyres. Delock it?

    handles are always a sticking point with nova owners - smooth the whole door - how do you get in? You can use little push buttons to pop soleniods ( like on the TVR's) - thats what most do - but you need to have a backup plan if the battery goes dead - especially if youve smoothed your boot! Also - how do you (or fire brigade) get in if you have a side impact?

    You could try smoothed handles - like vectra or audi ones - seen them on a nova and theyre sweet. I think you can buy kits from supernovas.

    Looks nice. Need to work on the gap between bumper & grille.

    Maybe take another pic with the fr wheel facing another direction (makes sus look high).

    Nice motor!
