Nova Rear End

← All blog posts

I never liked the rear and wrap around bumper of the MK 2 Nova's, so I set about changing it to a Mark 3 rear end. This was originally designed for Opel Manta round lights, which I had originally fitted. Subsequently I changed these out for new Ferrari 355 round lights as the Opel Manta lights were cracked and looked very weathered and dated.

I also made up some aluminum slats for the lower section to break up the overall space and make it look more interesting. Then finished the look off with some twin slash cut chrome exhausts

The original MK 2 wrap around bumper, which I really didn't like. It also didn't come down very low to hide the engine and exhaust.

The first incarnation of my MK 3 bumper with the Opel Manta lights it was designed for
