my micra, the phoenix

[Hughhh]

the shark fin has finally gone if anyone wants it they can gladly have it for cost of postage
Does it get decent reception -- say 2/3 as good as the standard whip antenna? If so then I'd be happy to pay for you to post it to me. (Y)

[Dragonmaster_uk]

i never had a problem with the reception however for the cost of me to send it to australia you could probably pick one up yourself cheaper

[Hughhh]

Yeah nevermind then, thanks anyway.

Yeah nevermind then, thanks anyway.

right quick update as not got pics yet have detailed all the tyres ready for ists and noticed i will need new ones soon so will be running on toyo`s soon maybe new alloys aswell i`m undecided

seeing as i`m not changing the car now i will be able to get a quote whilst at the show to get the jdm bumper sorted the back bumper fitted properly and maybe something diffrent with the bonnet as it`s going to be needed but thats a story for another thread me thinks as i need a little advice

should be cleaning the interior tomorrow fitting a voltmeter and prehaps 7" screen for a slight race look on thursday then finally wash and polished on friday

so should be plenty of pics to come soon

new brake disks and pads ordered today also will get some gold caliper paint and do them at the same time before my new wheels and tyres come

[mihtymicra]

actually it stands for Pete 1 swad, swad being my hometown but the police don't like it like that so it's stuck with the legal spacing

thought id add my gandmar lives in swad in a park home

brakes arrived today caliper paint is ordered wheels and tyres i have to wait for but i no what i`m going for at the moment i`m trying to get the bodywork sorted :D so hopefully if i get some good weather tomorrow the mirrors should be sanded and primed along with the standard rear bumper for a bit of modifying and my 3rd side light on the rear should be fitted

[Dragonmaster_uk]

well rain stopped play as usual i did manage to get the 3rd side light fitted then whilst wiring it up blew the fuse so had most of the front end to bits to change the fuse
