My bodyshop says its difficult to blend in the NOVA GSi sideskirts into teh body as they are too flimsy, and also the 2-paint won't show up as well as the rest of the car?
is this entirely right?? (or only the first bit?)
...so he said he will make the "L-shaped" end of the skirt himself and fabricate that into the body ...
but then the side bits along where the skirts normally go along will look rather bare ...can these bits be smoothed into the bodywork??
Sid
personally i wouldn't blend standard skirts in as they're not chunky enough.
Does anyone still remember me?
what else could I blend in then?
(if not two lots of GSi skirts -side bits attached to each other vertically)
nova-dose side skirts look good if blended it properly.........
I was just about to finish my last post with that ...
...that I dont like Novadose skirts ...too common.
if ya blending them, then you have no limits - you could get them off any car.
www.carcept.com - find something nice there
Does anyone still remember me?
how bout some M3 jobbies or even some mad jap ones, cut and smoothed!?!?
Carcept site crashes all the time, get to their logo, then its kapput!
I was thinking of EPS side skirts (see on a red Saxo in Maxy Poo this month -twin Saxo's together)
and pic below
(disregard the Fiesta!)
...and then mesh the skirts near end? if poss??
I AM SO STUCK!
Has anybody heard of EPS???
I want something different ...and I need it quickly.
Maybe grafting two different skirts together?
M3 with the Nova GSi skirt??
Gimmie some inspiration people, c'mon... ta

The MSD skirts are £250!!
the Tourismo are £155 ...
what else can I investigate...
...so nobody's got any interest...
I LOVE THESE SKIRTS!
Irmscher, £330 the pair.
But I also want the L-shaped bit from the Nova at end to be moulded into that.
Can anybody do me a pic of that on photoshop or something on a side view Nova, with the skirts or similar with the L-shaped bit???
what u think anyway? or is it too expensive?
get some m3 skirts if you want to mould something in.
or buy a demon tweeks mag, have a look through there. There are loads of adverts for various sideskirts and stuff.
What are you having done to your car in the bodyshop again? Surely if you're having this much stuff done your leaving it late to decide on stuff?!?!

which is why I DON'T want the the GSi ones Dave...
I said I wanted something like the Irmscher ones, with the L-shaped bit of the GSi added on at the end.
...but I am still open to suggestions (cheaper alternatives!)
it's a lot of work to get them looking proper! if a bodyshops doin it though its a different story! wouldnt blend them man, just seems dodgy!
why dodgy?
if its done proper it would be good.
I think one of the best bits of the Nova GSi skirt is the L-shaped section.
If I dont have that bit, I will get just the Irmscher skirt above on the Omega...
...I have decided on what sideskirts I want! HOORAY.
They are from a SAXO!
What u think? They will have to be custom made, as the Nova's sill is slightly shorter.
NOW, shall I get the L-shaped bit added to the skirt when they make them,
get bodyshop to make it when they out it on and do the blending then,
or leave it off altogether ??
I now need to give the exact dimensions to the people who gonna make me these sideskirts.
Would it not be best to actually send them one Nova GSi skirt so that they can see it, get the measurements right from that, and see where to put the fixings etc?
DaveB,
if you are going to Barnsley for me, would it be possible to get ONE sideskirt from the bodyshop where my car is, and post that to Edinburgh for me (where the sideskirt fairies live?).
Good idea or not? Just thinking they cant get it wrong then!
I will obviously pay you a drink for your troubles, and the cost of the postage etc.
Sid
Anybody got anymore companies that do sideskirts?
such as Carzone, MLK, ...give me more please.
Ta
anybody know who to contact from Irmsher to make me some side skirts?
if u want sumat like the gsi skirts wiv the l why not get the quadconersions skirts they fit well n also have atwist in them and r easy to blend in i did it on mine but aint got any pics for u have a look @ www.quadconversions.co.uk u shud like them

Thanks ...but I dont like anything that I have already seen on a Nova.
I also no longer want the L shaped bit on the end of the skirt.
I want sideskirts from oother cars to make fit to the Nova ... but which ones, and from where??!
want something smooth, not anything mad, that will go with a smoooth Nova...
