And thats me!!! There are some more little things that i missed out but you are here to see a k11 micra not my toyota!!! Comments still welcome though!!!!
Micra pics to come during the first half of next week!!!!
 
Cracking little car, such a nice colour. Shame it was subjected to those god awe-full alloys. It would look the absolute business with a several inches out of the ride height and some more appropriate wheels. What are these, I would guess 4x100 but wouldn't be surprised by 114.3. There's a section specifically members non micra rides, might be worth getting a mod to move this. Get pics of yer lady's K11 up.
 
Thanks mate!!! The alloys are better in the flesh thank god, but it really was a wasted car on its original pram wheels!!! Ot now handles a million times better just by adding some width and getting rid of the excess tyre height.
They are same fitment as the micrahave found some wheels i want and will get them when i get my first stuendent finance payment through!!!
Then it will be dropped onto some d2 coilovers!!!
There will be pics of the little k11 either tonight or tomorrow night!!
 
I only poated these pics here to prove my worth as a car man!!! I have show that i can walk the walk as well as talk the talk!!
 
Thanks mate!!!

Anyways heres the one youve actually been waiting for. I have to tell you that i put 7 hours of cleaning into the k11 today before my shift at work!!! But by god it looks well shiny!! And for the first time in a few montgs you can see that it actually has a floor!!!
But the pictures do lie a little and there is a selection of marks all over the car and the drivers door is well dented!!! All in all still think its presentabale!!!

You may noyice the dark wheel trims with pink nissan badges!!! I refurbed the original trims with some spare paint i had in and they looked sweet until they got scuffed again!!!! But they are still much bettter!!! Lol!!

Comments please!!
 
you havent done anything tho ???

Does he need to? I havent done anything to my car yet I still got replies.

Toyotalad - Your girls Micra is looks nice as it is. Mine own Micra has been kept almost completely standard too apart from a few small interior trim upgrades from higher spec Micras. A couple of small thing I started off with was fitting a rear parcel shelf with speakers from a higher-spec Micra SR, there is a cable already located in the boot ready for connecting. Original Nissan or tailored floor mats would also make a nice difference.

I like the Toyota but I really do not like the alloys its sitting on, I'm not a fan of aftermarket stuff, the original "pram" wheels look much better.
