    Just to get the Euro look on it really, im after some nice wider offset wheels so i can get stretched tyres fitted and that, im only 17 at the minute so insurance is the bummer lol.
    i'll end up buying a hatchback Nova in the future if i want something a bit faster

    Shiney C20let Nova

    Re: Mk1 Nova Saloon Lowered on Coilovers

    Why not keep the saloon, desk the tits out of it, wide rims, stretch tyres and in a few years change the engine. Best of both worlds.. Such a clean shell needs to be kept and use and loved.

    Thats one of the nicest saloons i have seen.
