cheers for comment

ive just took a picture off my engine bay !! i hate it

other than paint the rocker cover which ive got to do what else can i do to make it look better its horrible

been looking at blue hose kits

also thinking about making some kind of battery cover out of a thin piece of shiny steel

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270334014443 looking at these on ebay there only 20mm were as the original micra 1s are 35mm should this matter ?

sorry i ment the originals are 25mm. 5mm bigger than the 1s on ebay

just bought a set of the blue bolts for rocker cover just need to now paint it black

 

[alexm]

Hey mate! loving your car! =) Want to take some ideas from yours since you told me to go with the black and red idea i feel it would look smart. Gnna spray my micra signs black how did you do it ? Also what side splitters do you have on all round the car .. finally how low did lower it and what have you done with your old black alloys ?

 

[b47to]

thanks

sold my old black alloys sorry

the badges just gave them a good sand plastic primer then gloss black spray paint

the side skirts are rover 400 side skirts

front is a vw polo splitter straight fit

the rear is a vw mk2 front splitter

and i just bought 35mm lowering springs off fleabay

 

[Simonh]

looking sexy love the tights mod. how did you do the wiper conversion?

 

[b47to]

cheers

regarding the wiper i just took off the drivers wiper arm and moved the passengers side 1 up untill it swept all the window thats it lol

 

[Simonh]

fair enough. few questions. what did you use to fit your splitter and where did you get your top tint on your front window from?

 

[squarepants]

top tint on the window is standard

 

[Antony]

erm, youve ordered m5 bolts?

the rocker cover is in m6 bolts,.

however you can use the m5's for the fuel rail (all the screws on the rail are m5)

 

[squarepants]

paint the heat shield in high temp silver, and remove the un-used fuel presure regulator and the engine bay will look 1000x better

 

[Antony]

and get a painted cam cover...egherm *shameless plug*

 

[b47to]

yeah i ordered m6 as i had request to the guy what size i needed

yeah still need to do rocker cover also ive now fitted regulator makes a big difference in response

 

[b47to]

been busy today painting the rocker cover heres a pic

just finished primerd,painted and lacquered

here it is fitted

after :

 

[Scouse boy]

looks sound mate

 

[b47to]

thanks its getting betta

well i just took myself to exhaust uk and ended up buying a cold air feed pipe

its a shame its not a little bit longer as i could have fed it round the battery and down

 

[squarepants]

i have always wanted on of those exhaust UK airfeeds..they are really good quility. looks abit silly running over the battery though lol.

 

[b47to]

i know need to find of a way to get it to the air filter rather than going over something like u said mmmm.....

 

[Krish]

rocket cover looks ace!

and yeh lol sort the cold air feed out

 

[Optispart]

liking it alot mate

 

[b47to]

today i decided to chop the bottom bit of the bumper out wasnt sure at first but thought what the hell n did it well now its done no going back :O

anyway im glad ive done it ive left the fog lamp brackets in to alloy me to secure the mesh in when i come to do it

and i also managed to relocated the cold air feed pipe

 

[Krish]

hehe very nice and i was thinking of doing that to my bumper and getting some mesh or something and put that there instead

 

[Antony]

the rocker is good, but could probebly do with being wet sanded and polished . waxed.

trust me, i did this to stani's rocker and it came out like glass

 

[b47to]

sounds great n id love it to be like that but haven't got any cash to spend on the car yet

i just did it with spare poundland primer and black spray paint lol

it needed doing

 

[squarepants]

just need to get some M6 stainless bolts for the rocker cover like mine

 

[b47to]

[squarepants]

[joesouthgate]

[b47to]
