So then, you've got your Nova 1.0 or 1.2 Merit, what u gonna do? Mod it to the Max, to coin a phrase. First off you need to make that puny work goat sound the business, something like this

As you can see from the picture to the left, the exhaust looks like a paint can and sounds like a can of bees trapped in an even bigger can. The exhaust will sound very loud and can be used to attract 14 yr old girls outside of the local nightclub, observe as the marvel at you in your 'supposed' fast, flash motor, when to us 21 yr olds driving our proper cars (Rover Vitesse 827, Rover 820Turbo) you look an absolute twat!

Alloys

Time for some wheels that will fit and scuff your inner arches nicely, thus removing all your underseal and thankfully

accelaring rust, this means that your poxy little snotbox shall expire quicker. You need the worst looking and biggest wheels possible.

As you can see the wheels looks reaaalllllyyyy nice!, these will set your Nova off a treat and really make the lacklustre handling stick to the road like glue, honest. It will also make your steering feel far more weighty (heavy) and make handling the car more fun (a handful). Also it will set off your pulling machine a treat as all 14 yr old girls love a bloke who has a nice big set of arch rubbing alloys on his Nova or Fiesta. They'll cost you an arm and a leg and will increase the cars value by around 25 quid as your snotbox is worth nothing already!
Splitters

Well well well, what the hell are these stupid looking things supposed to do? looking like something used to keep a boat stable, they will do so much for your Nova Merit, keeping that lacklustre handling, mini barge stable on the road....also it will make the ladies think that you are driving a seriously fast motor rather than the lacklustre snot wagon that your driving at present. Probably the saddest and most pointless of mods, a discreet front spoiler, ala my 820Turbo and 827 Vitesse looks very nice and functional.
