I know its a bit late to start a blog, but I shall run through what I have done so far..

First thing I did was colour code the centre console red (with thanks to my mate at work)
Then put some Red LED's in the speedometre.
Part way through debump stripping the back.
Fitted a Red light in the interior light.
Put some red and black car seats in (Im having a bit of bother with the back ones if anyone would like to help me)

my mate at work did that for me as long as I supplied the paint, hes doing the same with my alloys. That needed refurbing, so they are going black :)
 
why does everyone think its all about performance lol. I don't have an air filter just because the induction roar is nice on my K10. It does make you faster in your mind, and it makes you faster because you keep going higher and higher in the revs so it gets louder lol!

they all work fine, it seems just not too bright thats all.

looks like there are a couple of the bulbs not working?

just connect a 90degree drain pipe bend strait onto TB then a legth of drain pipe that goes behind the battery, then connect the air filter onto that, cost a couple of quid and you will get cold air going in:D

its been done before, will try to find a link

here you are: http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=18922&highlight=drain+pipe

Thats a simple job to do? Il get t done when I get my alloys on on monday I hope! :)

Yeah I think I might need 1 more LED, but the guide I got says I only need four?

no i don't drive, but i've driven various power cars on a private road near me and i've done all sorts of silly mods and noticed differences. Air filters don't do much for performance but they make some noise, and that noise tended to incline me to want to go faster.

yeah it kinda does, well makes me want to put more revs on. On another note I just had a fully comp quote for my car and it came up at like £3000?!?

Ive decided not to spend anymore money on it after the spoiler and strut brace has come thats it other than a good clean!

Lowering will make much more of a difference than a strutbrace.
Even if you just go for springs (around £80) You won't regret it.

a garage will fit them for you, the rear ones are an in and out jobbie, front ones are the hard ones to swap, you need a spring compressor. should be cheap engough for them to do it.

I was charged £60 at a garage for them to fit them..
Really transforms the car though, If i were you, I'd be saving money to lower the car, if you plan on keeping it for a while.

improves handling loads its not so much lowering its cause there stiffer springs over the standard ones (this is the best mod you can do to a micra) it will handle like a gokart and will be better in wind's feels loads stable, will give you more conifidance in the car when entering a corner etc.

I paid £140, for the springs and fitting.

Lowering makes the car handle much better, lowers the cars center of gravity, stiffens the ride, and, looks a damn sight better ;)
