[joelh]

i have a 1996 1.0L Micra lowered,alloys,backbox,open mouth grill,1.3 cams pics on the way

 

[sonic]

Colour code the mirrors and door handles, get the super s bumpers on it, lose the bump strips and get an alloy for the back and it'll look better mate, oh and buy a digital camera ya tightwad.

 

[joelh]

:grinning: i have back wheels just want painted on that pic lol

 

[Craig]

Get rid of the 'L' plate and it will be 1,000,000 times better

 

[joelh]

:blush: they gotta be on till i pass

 

[Ceirwan]

I deliberately did nothing to my car till i passed because i new i would fail if i was to excited about the car waiting for me!
Looks nice mate.

Joel, if you double click on the file as if it was on you C: drive, it should open it in Microsoft Photo Editior, Click on Image Tab at the top scroll to resize then just reduce it by 30 - 40%.

I can see it now anyway and looks good, looks like the K11 March pics I done on GT4.

 

[GT88]

i love the wheels mate. good talking to you on msn as well mate..

nah..me and ratchet drove his car to my house, on 3 15'' wheels and a 13'' space saver on the drivers front couldnt go over 20mph without it pulling well bad! was really bad pulling to the right even when doing 10mph! was mental.....

but is possiable

 

[ollyc98]

I have also done this but they overall diameter was the same (well close enough) though the wheels were 3x 16's and 1x 13

 

[joelh]

update got one arch on so far

 

[Robert]

I actually quite like them..

 

[whipit]

Looks really good mate, well done, just gotta get some nice wheels to fill them!

 

[PeteST24]

Looks nice

 

[Stani1029]

where'd you get the arches?

 

[joelh]

golf arches they are

 

[GT88]

i love it mate. drop the idea about the turbo and do more of that.......
it think i mit have to get a set of them.
good work.

 

[ollyc98]

The golf arches, how many are on now? Are you gunna color code them?

 

[squarepants]

i think i preffer them unpainted (black plastic) than painted, breaks it up abit and goes with the front bumper, is very diffrent a ss uncoded bumper.

 

[curtis]

lovely little unique mod, nice too see!

 

[joelh]

going have a go and fixing them today

 

[joelh]

update-freeview box in just got to mount it some where

 

[ollyc98]

Cut a hole in the dash and use an electric window motor, that way you can make it go up and down like the new volvo sat-nav. I'm about to do it in another car when I get my dremel pieces through.

 

[pjg1979]

Hi Joel, I've seen people on this site paint their front lamps, but how are you doing it?

a) Are you painting directly onto the outer of the lens?
b) Are you painting directly onto the inner of the lens?
c) Are you painting onto the reflector?

 

[Robert]

It's on the inside, the glass is heated and prised off, the reflective parts masked off, then the rest sprayed, and then the glass is bonded back on

Have a feeling there's a guide in the K11 guides section, have a look.

 

[squarepants]

There used to be a guide on mighteymicra, but that site has long gone, it basiclly should be the same as the the headlight painting quide, have a look in k11 DIY guides, i did one.

 

[pjg1979]

Cheers Robert.

 

[joelh]

final made a little bracket and got one on just need to get the other 3 done now

 

[Robert]

[Napster]

looking good how did you fit those golf arches if dont mind me asking bud? as they look tidy?

 

[joelh]

well i screwed one bit in where the mud guard goes and then i made a small bracket like that hooked on the inside of the wing then screws in to the golf arch heres pic its rough the bracket but it does the job

 

[danimicra8]
