riiight - got meself a nova with a mk2 astra gte 8v engine in it....
at the minute looks like this.......................
my plans are to debadge it, speedlines, tints, spray the lights so theyre like MHW style and probably get rid of that metal protector on the back.
this is the quick shop i did of it (forgettig the metal plate) What does everyone think - all comments welcome - just make sure theyre constructive. (tints look a bit smudgy but ya get the idea)

If it were mine I would;
put the correct bumpers on it
put standard skirts on it
paint the lights red but leave the indicators clear
I wouldn't;
do the tints
put speedlines on it
tint the lights black
But that's just me 
Any front pics?

It's a mk2 rear bumper - needs a mk1 - pref a GTE one
DON'T tint the windows - looks gash
As Robin said on the rear lights
Leave wheels on - they look ok
Put standard, non-fucked up, skirts on!

sorted
just found a gte being broken on ebay - sent the seller a Q asking for the rear bumper - looks a LOT better hahaha.
annoyed though - how can i get those fake vent bits off the side skirts without damaging the paint underneath 
not sure about the colour so i might leave it a while then get it resprayed black - i wonder what arden blue would look like though......hmmm

the skirts should be black anyway, so don't worry too much

And, if you wanted to keep them colourcoded, that paint shouldn't be too hard to get, it's a common Rover colour.
