K12 Facelift?

[James]

Just received this email from Nissan about the K12, seems to me by looking at the pictures it's had a facelift. Here's a copy of the email: (and the actual email is here: http://www.newsnissan.co.uk/micramc/2008-Nissan-Micra-online.jsp?id=58784C7508FABEF9A1C1841C210603C0 )

This Micra was available from the 1st October, strange why they call it the 2008 Micra.

Just got these grilles from off ebay, what an absolute steal http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=250172555638&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015

My Micra will look like a 2008 one now, he he he ha ha :laugh:

 

[sammyboi]

im not too keen on the side of them! The line bit. Lacks wheel arches. But thats just my opinion! Id love to have something looking like this k12: http://car.kak.net/bilder/nissan/nissan_micra_r03s.jpg where the arches are like 100mm wide and i just love its look with that kit on it

[sammyboi]

Yes its amazing! Would love to have one of them

 

[R05_Micra]

i noticed these on the line when i worked there, look alot nicer, few new colours too i think, werent nissan changing the micra model again, like all new micra (like k10> k11> k12?) plus giving it a new name next year/year after?

 

[Deleted User]

2009 is the predicted launch for the next micra (K13)

I wonder what new releases/engines we might see in the mean time. :devil:

 

[nismo_k12]

nissan mixim concept car.

Gives you a rough idea of the possible look of the K13. Ignore the judge dread stlying but you can see a shape inside of it which could be the next micra...if the name survives.

also every concept car on that page is in production or has been made so im about 99.9% certain thats the K13.

The Micra R is on long term test at Evo magazine:

Shame the new grilles still have chrome bits, they should have modelled them on the Nismo ones. Chrome on modern cars is cack - especially when it's chrome plastic

The Mixim looks like a Clio at the rear and a Note at the front to me.

 

[jim_bling]

yea nissan are goin weird now they face lifted the note as well smoothed the bumpers off etcand yea that does look like a clio at the back and a note at the front bet they are tryin to make both the french cars and jap cars togeather as one and failing badly imo

 

[Layla]

mixim-matosis looks like a hybrid love child of a megane and a lump of cheese. orsum get me one of those bad boys

Hey everyone.

Got the new Grilles on the motor, so lets have some opinions, I will be honest I am unsure, but lets see if it grows on me at least I can say I have 07/08 Micra :laugh:

I'm liking the crystal blue indicators though.



Excuse the washing up liquid by the grilles, just gave them a quick rinse.

 

[Dragonmaster_uk]

think maybe they`d be better with the mesh silver anyone no how much it would be to get the grilles from nissan dealarship?

 

[greg_k12]

'front grille' is listed on the nissan website as 112 quid. i reckon this must be the same part

Got the mesh grille from nissan, was about 112.
