Nova Interior styling

[Phil349]

I am going to start making the interior of my nova a little nicer now, it is a 5 door mk2 standard merit trim at the moment. I know I want some GSi seats, but apart from the obvious like steering wheel, gear knob, etc what else is worth looking at?

Any ideas, what have you lot done before?

cheers

mine

Nice door cards look good, did you do them yourself?

Is that a GSi dash, or is it a standard one sprayed, as I was wondering about dash board spray paint.

[Vauxnova]

All myself
dash is sprayed but the paint is a bugger to stop it reacting
It takes a good afternoons worth of prep

[Phil349]

What paint did you use on the dash and what prep is required?

Also what paint did you use on the sill plates at the bottom of the doors and other area's that get knocked about a bit?

Ditto- did it all myself.... just looking for pics of my dash and stuff....

[Phil349]

that looks nice, what else have you done, dash, etc?

Are those standard GSi seats recovered?

[Freak]

G plate SR seats recovered in black leather and blue alcantara.

assassin, have you recovered the mirror backing plates? I looked at my local scrappie to get a set with out 'oles in em, but with no joy. So ive meshed 'em insted

[Vauxnova]

Paint was halfords vinal spray
(needs scrubbing with soapy water for ages then fully dried brfore spraying and then needs a bit of a polish to get it right

the bottom bits are done in bumper spray plenty of layers only time will see if it scratches

mirror covers are factoiry resonablyy hard to find
find a poorly spec'ed car like mine and i found them in a g reg saloon

[rossnunn]

Well look at my nipples and call me charley!!!

Assassin was saying about the mirror bases being hard to find and what's in my local scrappie when i look!
Some sad person had painted them nail varnish red, and there in resonable condition but what the hell!!

Well at the moment it's a GSi interior but by Christmas it'll have a set of Konig SK5000 Powergrip front seats. done in Alcantara, though the colour is yet to be decided.

Momo steering wheel, gear knob and gaiter. Digidash and Mk2 dash conversion.

My nova is a MK2 with a standard merit spec interior at the moment. So far I have picked up the following to be put in:

SRI front and rear seats in blue/grey pattern
SRI sun visors with lights/mirrors in blue/grey pattern
SRI grey seat belts
SRI blue heater controls (head blue headlight switch aswell tho)
Rear headrests
Gear knob, gear gaiter, handbrake handle, pedal pads all in black and aluminium
Blue LEDs to make all the dash/switch lights blue

I also have fitted a digi-dash, electric windows and a nova GSi steering wheel (but would like to replace that with a newer style vauxhall one). I am also trying to find some blue nova carpet to go with the interior. I am just looking for idea's on what elese to do aswell.
