Max'd Out Micra - My story

[MaxK11C]

I made the mistake of "sprucing" up my car before I could drive it.... Everyone instantly assumed I had been driving a while which as you can imagine wasn't brilliant

Haha, I see.
I think I'll whack the wrap around on, and some more polish, and I'll leave it at that for now

Added the spoiler and took off the "Micra" and the "S" badge, going to replace with GTR badge (... Joking)

 

[h701micra]

I did that... it discoloured and fell off.
Only to pass a gtr as I left McDonald's a few days after

Not that you could really tell one badge/sticker from another on the rally car, you've no idea where to look first, really.

 

[h701micra]

good eh.
Gtr badge was front and centre on the bonnet

 

[MaxK11C]

Gonna add more photos when I'm home

Assume you got the spoiler in the correct colour?

I had mine black but sold it, was going to paint my nismo black, but they look much tidier colour coded ( like yours )

Just think it'll look off and wont match well enough =/

Cars looking good, get passing!! :L

How'd ya stick it on?

 

[MaxK11C]

How'd ya stick it on?

Bolts through the top

My dad used a step/cone drill on the inside of the boot so we could get a socket through, tightened up the nut. Made sure it fit, then took it off and added that double sided number plate tape stuff. Really sticky. And a little dribble of clear silicone for good measure. Lack of pictures as we were just trying to get it done, sorry Alex.


Rather clean bay to be honest:

 

[Huggy444]

Gonna buy a spoiler then, for all the extra grip need a new boot anyway

[McMicra]

I have many many jap parts, I could list them for you but I fear youd place a hit on me :L

Being so much of a yob, you fail?
there's a fine line between yobbery and ballsy driving it seems.

Yea one has control
One doesn't.... yobs don't
Our Alex doesn't seem to have much control yet

 

[MaxK11C]

He's 16, we don't have control of anything

Interoperate that how you will.

That's not bad at all. When're you 17, by the way?

Thank you!

Thank you!

That would be an achievement.

 

[h701micra]

That would be a minor

fixed

 

[MaxK11C]

That would be an achievement.

I'm sure I could manage it. You've not met me. You know nothing of the vast levels of incompetence.

 

[MaxK11C]

I find it amazing that the car can go from 'oh it's just another Micra' to 'hi max the cars looking fantastic' just because of a wrap around. Had so many positive comments today

Right then chaps, tomorrow's the big day, time to update you on what's been happening. Finished sorting her for the MOT tomorrow on Sunday. Should be ready to go.

In about an hour, I'm going with my step dad to pick the car up from my dad's house (At one minute passed midnight) when insurance has started. We'll drive her to the MOT centre and drop the keys off, saves us doing it in the morning. So yeah.. This should be an interesting 24 hours, I'll let you know how she does in the MOT tomorrow!

get the spoiler on? just need to get your tests sorted now

 

[Enuo]

Very interested here, PM me all the gossip. Hope she does well, and hope all this civic nonsense evaporates once you've had a taste of the micra magic on the open road

 

[karlj]

You shouldn't have a problem Max amd as Andy said once you've actually driven your micra the longing for a ****stick will go

 

[MaxK11C]

Thanks guys! And we'll see about the whole Civic thing

If not I'm sure you guys will beat it out of me.
Got the car dropped off at the MOT centre, just got home

It'll more than likely still be auto though

That's fair enough.

Assuming you haven't managed to swap it for a K10 by then...

[karlj]

Due to an unfortunate insurance issue that can't happen

Ah, means hopefully I get a go in the EG though
Auto or not, civic is civic.

I thought that was auto correct when you put that the first time.
Ok, so the egg is a thing now then

 

[karlj]

I've been calling it the egg since finding out the chassis code, helps that it's white as well

Paint the roof yellow!
