Corsa ones won't fit a Nova because they are wider, just get a standard one for now

Mieran - I might modify my Whiteline rarb from the Corsa, if its not possible i will get a standard one!

A little update, went to the Autosport show at the weekend and purchaced a new helmet and some grippy gloves for when i do get out on track

Will be doing more work on the car this week and im hopeing to have the car painted in the next week or two!

I was at autosport too, What did you think of it?

Whiteline arb would be way to hard to work imo, Whiteline said if they got enough orders they might do them, but waiting on a reply, there is/was a post about it on PNG.

corsadonk - Helmet was £170 and gloves were £32. Should do the job nicely!

Aw06 - Autosport was a good show imo.
Il have a look on PNG, il probally just get a normal one at some point. Need to save up and order the cage aswell!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Made some more progress this week. Prepped the new front wings and also trimmed the arch lips so theres clearance for the wheels! Wings are only placed on in the pictures.

The car is nearly ready for paint so i ordered all the paint that i need and i'll be painting it this weekend

Decided im going to do the roof black and keep the rest of the car flame red. Should tidy it up nicely and look abit fresher because it looks pink at the moment

Looking good mate. Admire all of your work. Looking at the rocker it looks like its not a x16xe?

Thanks guys! The engine is a X16XEL

Made some good progress lately, got it sprayed and it came out really well!

Used Lechler 2K flame red. Did it at my mates farm where i store the car and i was suprised how clean it came out. Will be flatted and polished eventually anyway but saves alot of work!

Sprayed the inside of the front wings while i was at it because i had primed the edges inside where i ground the lips. So it will be protected inside them nicely now.

Hopefully getting the roof painted black this week and the wings fitted back on. Pictures below just show a few stages before, during and after paint.

Comments welcome as always

Small update for you all.

Didnt manage to paint the roof because there was too much stuff in the workshop, so didnt wanna get overspray everywhere. I should get that done in a week or two hopefully.

Did manage to get the front wings on and lined up, they fitted very well for non genuine wings

Also fitted the rear bumper back on and the rear number plate. keeping the plates as they are the original ones from new, which i think is cool
