boxy lover

your boxy looks to be a tidy one sir

i would say that front lower valance would be a custom one that maybe was originally a turbo,but its defintly not original jdm and there would be no chance of getting it in ireland did you try ebay

tbh lad i thinks it looks like shite a nice neat splitter would be nicer

looks well on the new wheels they suit it

looks good whats the plans drift/track car

some up to date pics a few bits and pieces have changed but the two major are new wheels and slammage

its lower at the front now but photobuckets being ghey so cant get any more pics up

connor

nothing wrong with corsas

novas are better in everyway though

howya

just a small update i am completely skint now after spending e300 on the nova, but none the less some work has been carried out on the chistlenose today since i just want the car done a sold I've ditched the idea of the yellow respray because id never sell it.

so im going with a white and grey sceme but nevermind the typing some pics

started the wheel refurb

cleaned they shitty brake dust of the backs,before

after

then two coats of nitromors later

then sanded with 240wd,400wd,600wd and 800wd

im thinking this colour for wheels,bumpers and trim

might go white on the wheels though

and a pic of the yoke that takes all my monies

im still not happy with the finish on the respray , im not sure but i dont think i sanded it back enough when

i was buffing her.

i think this is causing that glarey look upclose

i may respray her again at some stage ;)

connor

hey all

got one of my skirts a on today, it was a lot easier than i thought not to much cutting and shaping

so as always pics ;)

today i decided to do a bit on the starlet as it was a scorching 6.5 degrees ;)

since the pics where taking i have added the other alloy

tidied up the engine bay

added a red bumper stripe ;)

it badly needs a front splitter

pic of the alloys (ignore the griffen badge)

and colour coded the wing mirrors
