Hah, looks like the passenger's trying to hide from the photo out of sheer embarrasment :D

Did some more work on it this weekend :) Switched out the old, faded door handles, for one. New shiny black ones! Comparison: Though after fitting them, I used some leftover paint from the spoiler to spray the old ones silver, and think I might actually prefer silver ones instead, doh. I'll...

Aaaah, that makes sense. So it seems I'm a bit 'screwed' then! On the underside of mine it's just plain fibreglass. So I can either put some ugly screws through it, or glue it down with ugly gaps at the side. Hmmm :\ Orrr I can accept it as a big waste of money and try to get an actual Nissan...

So, I'm fitting my spoiler today, one of these style ones: Was intending to just glue it down, but because I was an idiot and bought a knock-off one, it's not a perfect fit and needs screwing down near the corners at the left+right edges (otherwise there's small gaps, and it doesn't look...

So, I painted the spoiler over the last couple of days! Because I'm an idiot, I messed it up somehow so it's sliiiiiightly patchy in places as you can see (why, why did I choose a metallic coloured car?), but I'll fit it at the weekend, along with the new door handles (old ones are very faded...

:D My dad says when he drives his S2000, he'll always get one or two people who just shoot off at the lights if he's next to anyone, probably thinking they just trashed him. In Micra news, I've painted my new spoiler today! Just one of the little ones, not the wrap-around SR/Super S style ones...

Nice! How much is it lowered there? I'm considering lowering mine, not too much, and that looks about right :)

Changed the wipers since the rubber on them had gone all dry and manky and was peeling off (see the picture). Has new, shiny Bosch ones now :)

Haha :D To be fair, I don't know which version of the K11 I like more. The facelift ones look a bit better while stock (or near-stock) IMO, while the pre-facelift ones are a better base for modding/look better modded, I'd say. But they're lovely cars, and each one (on here at least) is unique :)...

Ah, that makes sense. I was trying to get them in yesterday and it just looked like they were about double the size they needed to be to fit... So I was thinking about what I could use in there instead, but I'll try it your way first. I really like how yours looks, by the way! Looks pretty neat...

Odd... Which brand are yours? Mine are 'G3' apparently, weren't particularly cheap or anything. The clips they've given me seem a little too big to fit where it says to fit them.

Nah, just a 1.0 or the insurance would probably eat me. First car and all that :p Most of the others I could see for £700 and below were all a bit beaten up/scratched/dented/missing parts, so that one sounds like a bargain! Likewise, there were a couple I'd have loved to buy but were hundreds of...

Ahoy! New here :) Been lurking around here for a couple of weeks while I was figuring out what to get as a first car, and settled on a Micra fairly quickly :) I bought this rather snazzy little number last week, and after insuring/MOT-ing/taxing it today, it's now parked outside my house, woop...
