    Cav lights in a Nova

    I dont know if anyone has seen the Nova in the latest Revs, but I wanna put Cav headlights into mine.

    What is likely to be involved ?
    Any input would be appreciated.

    Headlights look different and pretty cool.

    Good God that's hideous. However, no doubt the owner of this car would tell me my Maestro Turbo is ugly, so what do I know? I know that if I was walking home from the pub one night having downed one too many lemonades, seeing that car would just about push me past the point of no return and there'd be carrots everywhere. Even the colour is shocking. To think there is someone who actually DRIVES that thing!

    I personally think the Cav lights will be way to big on the Nova, it barely works there cos they take up the space of the indicators too.

    Is it me or does the drivers side one have no lens? Or is it just the angle?

    its just the angle, there is a lens there :P

    the indicators are actually located by the mouths of the bumper...

    hey how about this then mate, fit cav lights, but rip out the innards of the lights and install BMW's angel eyes! (with the four circle sidelights) now that would look spot on.

    that's an idea. It wont be too hard to do it when the lights are out of the car, so then if things go "wrong", then it aint a prob :P

    gonna involve a bit of work and thought :]

    Anyone know the performance of this - err- thing (e.g.: from Revs article)? I'd love to meet it at a set of traffic lights and blow it away ... ultimate embarrasment for him lmao Drives the only car in the world uglier than a Fiat Multipla; would be great if it didn't go very fast either, or am I just a cruel b'stard? Probably goes like shyt down a shovel ... ah well ...
