Excellent. I was about to type it needs more black plastic bits to look right ya know then you go and nail it with a laguna/espace splitter. Well done.

Edit: could you be talked into a shogun vent for the bonnet. Havent seen one for nearly 20 years lol

Or the once common Isuzu Trooper bonnet vent.

I think a pair of Astra GSI vents would still look good.

I remember a chap I went to school with had a Peco on his 1.2 Nova and it was a noisy wee brute, you could hear him coming a mile away! Lol

Standard tail lights would work better IMO.

Cool wee car though, love it!

Round to my good mate @gsmith for a we freshin up...top notch job surr

If there was one thing I’d change it would be that white grille with the duct. Doesn’t look right at all. Tailgate should be more of a graphite colour rather than pure black shouldn’t it? Maybe it’s just the pics. Cool as f**k otherwise I’d love another one if the price was right and found somewhere to keep it.

I know what your sayin @GazEP3 but it’s serving a propose atm as a cold air feed. I’m looking another and have a badge here to go one it but like all things it’s a work in progress, as for the tailgate yeah it’s like an off blue black on the real cars...this is real only better

Anytime mate. Unreal car didn’t want it to leave. Some wake up call when it starts just as well I don’t have any neighbours.

Even black it wouldn’t be as obvious. These things take time. I’ve been building mine for just over a year now and driven it maybe 3 or 4 times since it came home lol slowly getting closer to being road legal again.

 

[Gaz86]

Edit...Sorry double posted there

 

[southsky sunrise]

I want to change the grille to standard so I can fit the badge tho lol so something will be sorted.

As much as i love Raffinos (have a set in my dad's roof space!) they totally kill the drive of a Nova, and it wasn't even great to start off with!
I always wanted them on my GSi, but one drive up the road and they were quickly changed!
