    Smooth Nova Gte
    i think it depends how low the car is

    if its really low i think they look good without, its looks nice and clean

    but if its say only 30-40mm id say gsi/gte not painted

    Well put, I've never seen a nova that I've liked with body colored bumpers, i like them in charcoal or similar.

    I plan to not have mine sprayed

    I went for Quad Conversions ones on mine. They'll need a bit of smoothing in but i really liked them. They had a bit of a GSi look to them but were a bit different.

    It really depends on what colour your car is and what you like though I guess.

    You motor look good mate, I'm a big fan of making the car look standard, just really tidy

    I love the way the nova GTE's look and there is nothing i would what to do to change that.

    (I'm also not the biggest fan of mk2's)lmao

    Thanks very much

    Like you I prefer the standard look but I quite fancied those sideskirts when I saw them - I think with a grey car you can get away with it but I'm not sure how they'd look on other colours.

    Sadly the nova is no longer with me - sold it about a month ago and picked up my astra on thursday.

    And to add insult to injury, someone's using a picture of it on roybacer Not sure if its the new owner or what but he's taking credit for all the subtle styling ques!

    you got any pics of urs? I'd say that GTE/GSi skirts would be the best for a Mk1
