All sorted, and thanks for all the help. I think due to it being a sort of first i was a bit nervous, which didn't help matters. I found that laying the paint on helped a lot, as i was doing lil girly sprays lol. In the end i'm well proud of it, looks very nice!

Cheers, i have done the rub, prime, rub, topcoat, rub, and final topcoat..... Its just that lol, it goes all pants and looks ####e if you know what i mean lol, though i take it once wiped down after rubbing and given lacquer it all comes back and looks pukka?

Well with the nice weather, i though i'd have a go at spraying the boot handle(holds the numberplate lights). On everything i've read it's saying that you have to rub the top coat down(1200 grit), to matt and then spray the lacquer on. Though would/does it make any diffierance if you don't? I'm...

Cheers getawaycar, No they are fine near on new, same with the pads, its used everyday. Had one of the lads at work look at it on the ramp. Though it is the front where it seems to be happening, if there is no fast fix which i was hoping for. I'll bite the bullet and overhaul them.

Have noticed pass couple of weeks or so, when i brake they sort of judder sort of like emergency stopping(ie pumping them). Had wheels off checked discs and pads all ok, and in good nick not warped no fluid leaking etc.

The other thing is you get, a random bit of metal/stone in between the heat shield around the pipe, from the cat1 to cat2. The amount of times i've had to put mine on the ramp at work, to get the offending piece out. Though have now ripped most of the heat shields off prob solved.

Have looking around at the clio alloys, and a few others that are 4 stud 100. Hopefully i'll get something sorted in the next couple of weeks, as put all the feelers out!

Thing is though she keeps going on about, getting rid of MY micra (not her own car) and getting something else, as its on its last legs.

Thanks for that Kamisama, was wondering what they did fit onto lol. Have been on the look out for 100 4 stud, as now that i'm a little bit more clued up. Hopefully i find something, before the mrs puts a clamp down on things, as already doing little things to the micra lol.

Yep that was the thing, these were aftermarket ones supposedly for a fiesta, only afterward did he say that he got them for his clio, though they didn't fit. Just have to keep an eye out still, cheers for the info though.

Thought it was too good a bargain. Four spoke in very good nick, and with fresh tires on just the protective layer worn off you could say. Though went to pick them up, and thought well best see if they fit first - as looking for a straight forward swap from steel to alloy. Been all hyped up all...

Not going to go that far, in changing all that! It was just the bumper was all done opened up, and with spots so thought it would look phat on mine.

Yep Doh! should have known. Thanks for putting me right, totally forgot about that. Did thought it looked a bit bigger lol. Thanks again

Would a K11 facelift bumper fit a K11 pre facelift? I know the answer is more than likely yes, though just want to double check. Lol as don't want to get it and try fitting going Doh! Thanks for any help in advance

Cheers for the input, think i've made my mind up now. Will rip the rubber out, and fill with sealant. I may just put that spoiler on too:-), though prolly after i've sorted out my bonnet, that some ####/####s thought it a good idea to jump on it and then few days later dented the sides of it...
