Have always thought about doing this to the Nova, the rear bumper there looks a bit patchy after being heat gunned though.

I don't have the balls to attempt it, my mate supplies me with free bumper care which is a top job.

haha the 'yellow' tires are because lewisc tried to paint a yellow rim without masking and then wen i took the wheels he just gave em a quick coat with a twat can, gonna go over them eventually get em lookin bit better... the alloys are only temps anyway till i find some nicer ones cheap enough, but still looks better than havin shitty steelies on
