    Nova Arch - Round or Square????!

    Right, many of you have prob seen my Nova on my website...
    and read all about my probs with the bodyshop, doing things that I didnt ask for...

    Well, now I have the opportunity to change things around (at more expense!!) ...so should I keep the Nova arch round like he has done it, or make it square again ??

    17" alloys, 205/40 tyres .... lowered around 35mm-50mm on a GSi.



    with the square original arch the wheel gets hidden abit, and maybe more scrubbage??? My car will be low, maybe lower with heavy ICE... so POLL UP!

    also bear in mind, my Nova has no sharp lines or edges around the windows anymore AT ALL... so the rear arch was done to compliment it all ...but I'm not so sure...

    BMWs mostly..
    Sorry mate, I think square looks cool. The whole nova shape is hard to make better. Clean standard looking ones (like in this months TV) look the best in my opinion.

    Prove me wrong mate, finish it off.

    One of the best looking cars out there, the Lancia Delta Intergrale HF turbo.

    Proves that boxy is the best. Otherwise, it's a fiesta!

    Flat normal boxy arches. Can't really improve on the original standard arches.
