My 1998 Nissan Micra called Eddie

[Jamie Sykes]

Looks good. Might get a set of these myself

just gotta get/ make surround for the fogs and sort the marks out on the bummper and im sorted on the front end

 

[Jamie Sykes]

ordered some rear march lights yesterday and need to get a foglight and im unsure what one i should go for
this one that sits flush and makes it look stock

or this one that just mounts to the bumper and will sorta make it look like an import

The flush mount will look nicer, but will require going choppy with your bumper. If you decide to revert to stock, you'll also be left with a hole in the bumper.

The one that hangs down will require no modding, and you can get them anywhere, but IMO they don't look nice.

 

[Clodo]

you dont need a separate fog.... but the flush one is the smartest in my opinion x

 

[Jamie Sykes]

I will do as iv got some march lights on there way £23 in total need a little work but fixable

 

[cgten]

You can stick a red bulb into the offside reverse housing and connect the fog signal to that. It's a neater solution but you sacrifice dual reverse lights.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

I want a dual reverse so that's not goner work

 

[Clodo]

Ahhhh I see your dilemma ill be quiet
........
23 pounds :O bargain I would say definitely the flush one though x

 

[Jamie Sykes]

Ill get it once iv fixed the rear lights

[cgten]

Nice find! I was going to take one from a Celica, but got a Bongo one instead.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

its a bit big for the micra tho but if i put it in the right place it will look nice

 

[Jamie Sykes]

the foglight after a clean

 

[Jamie Sykes]

got the rear lights today and fly eye tint i dont like the fly eye tint tho so not goner use it

 

[cgten]

Oh that sucks. What's wrong with it?

 

[Jamie Sykes]

Oh that sucks. What's wrong with it?

it just dont look right on the lights

 

[cgten]

Standard red tint it is then, I guess. It might be fine even for the indicators if the tint isn't that strong against the orange light.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

I like the look of them as they are

 

[Jamie Sykes]

Test fitted one of them earlier and it looked lush

 

[cgten]

Pics mate!

 

[Jamie Sykes]

forgot to take some

 

[Jamie Sykes]

quick update on how the rear lights are getting on iv glued and tryed to repair the hole the best i can the glue messed up a little and ****ed up so need to sand it down and put some red repair tape over it

 

[Jamie Sykes]

looking good eddie just need to get a new bulb holder for the drivers side and then the fog light

 

[cgten]

It actually looks really good. Did you have better luck than me with the wiring?

yer i think i leared from my mistake from last time only took us under an hour to find the pin out and rewire the lights to work so they now work in any nissan micra k11

 

[Jamie Sykes]

cut and mounted the fog light today not the greatest picture only one I had went dark by the time I was done

 

[Jamie Sykes]

parked up next to my mates car yesterday

 

[Jen319]

Was it foggy?

 

[Jamie Sykes]

It was so foggy you could not see 6ft in front of your lol

 

[Jamie Sykes]

Found out today my brakes are shot and need replacing deep groves on all 4 pads and both disks and worn and have the same markings on them

 

[cgten]

That sucks. At least pads and disks don't cost too much.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

Should I spend out and get better ones or leave them stock

 

[cgten]

Depends on whether you want to plan ahead or just get them working. Standard parts will be fine for standard driving.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

I do want a 1.3 at some point but not for ages so stocks it is

 

[Jamie Sykes]

Not the best pics but it shows my rear lights and the badges I stuck on it

 

[cgten]

With all the stuff you've added to it, it's definitely worthy of that GX badge. Still not sure about the 16v one though (even though it is a 16v).

 

[Jamie Sykes]

you hate the other badge i have then got bored and did this

and a picture in daylight of both rear lights and the fog light

 

[Jamie Sykes]

so i fitted my spoiler today went really well it rubs a little but thats only becuse the sides are not glued down and make the whole thing move out of place so need to get some glue for it come payday

the paint work needs a little more work aswell but its not far off
