Monty The Micra ^_^

Right well, I have my phone cable finally, so I suppose its about time I put some photos on of my micra ^_^

Micras have been the only cars I have ever driven // owed since I passed my test. Ive had a 93 plate grey 5dr k11 1.0 16v, that got scrapped in October as it was deffinately beyond repair, having more rust than paint and about 138//139k on the clock, so we traded it in for an Aygo for my dad, and I got another K11

The k11 I drive is a 1ltr 16v inspiration in Yellow, I was originally completely against yellow on my car, but when I went to look at it, I decided it looked awsome =] This is the car I've had since October.

When I bought the car it has 39k on the clock, a full service history and one old lady owner, who had crashed once (after looking at the bumper). The cars only drawback is that the front bumper has discolored, (poor spray im assuming) and is probably near the top of my to-do list =p

I have so far been pretty rubbish in doing this as im a student and never have any money lol.

I have done the following things though...

Sony GT Headunit
5" (I think thats the right size...) Speakers on parcel shelf
NIssan 13" Alloys
Xeon Headlight Bulbs
Red Brake Calliper Paint ((not done yet, but ive bought the paint so the intensions there)
Anew gear knob, but i havent managed to get the old one off yet.

Soonish To-Do List

Paint the Callipers
Attempt to put the gear knob on
Re-appulster the doors
Spray various parts of the dash board
Super S Clocks and various other stuff from a scrap yard

Looks great!

Colourcoding would look awesome, small bits like the handles and grills for the outside, along with your interior bits :)

ahh right cool. you gonna try and get some of those chrome ones or just use the ones you have? (if you dont lose the clips that is lol)

also you thought about spraying your door handle and release catch? think it would look better than the standard grey

as much as i love micra's i hate their interiors lol

Im planning on stock piling some spray paint from halfords soon, still havent decided which bits to colour but a fair bit of the interior is being sprayed to make it look nicer, after the door cards have been done i'll work on de-tropicaling the rest of it=]

yeah not a bad idea really. im probably going to visit a scrappy when i get the money and get aload of interior trim to spray and replace mine with because looking at the instructions it'll take a few days to get it sprayed (spray a coat wait a day etc)

so you got any major mods planned or just things like spray that you have in your list above?

New front speakers, lots of plastic spraying, seen some wingmirrors with indicators and sidelights on them that have the right base plate on, so they might be making an apperance on the car =] hopefully i'll know by tomorro.

Also considering new front bumper, as its faded, so thought if im getting it resprayed might as well get something different =] and id love to get it lowered too but i'll have to see funds permitting =]
