My micra - project tiny

So had my micra for about 3 months now , done a few mods to it nothin big yet , unfortunately I didn't take any pics when I got it so it's starting from today :)
Every panel looks to of had paint work done to it and when the sills have been repaired no masking was done when the stonechip was applied so a panel by panel respray is on the to do list .

So far I've painted the grille , green cotton panel filter installed , 60mm lowering springs , red wheel nuts , Avon tyres , de-bumpstripped, de-wipered, yellow tint headlights , osram night breaker bulbs , Omp roll cage and black harnesses .

Loads more Planned just time and money .

Dirty engine bay , hopefully not to long .

Is your tyre tread poking out from the wheel arch? It's illegal and some jobsworth will pull you for it

Rim poke is fine so is sidewall on stretched tyres

Yep it sticks out , ordered some arch extensions so that will solve it .
Been getting pulled alot with the roll cage and harnesses , all is legit just an inconvenience.

Maybe just the area but if they do attract unwanted attention from the Five-O, then I maybe be going from never being pulled over to having to drive fully documented. Living abroad means being hit with a producer is a big no-no o_O

Wow, this is pimp as hell!

I'd do dirty, horrendous, unspeakable things for that roll cage. :D

Never got hassled by the police with my old one though. Half the time they just want to have a look!

It sits low bumper to floor , put a splitter on it and it will catch , arch to wheel and there's a fair gap .
No problem with speed bumps, the ones at work are at the maximum legal height. It's on standard shocks for now , there rears are on there way out , you can hear them compress.

The wheels are minilites and are 13"x7" .

Painted the rear bumper and the arch extensions and fitted a rear tow strap . Unfortunately my mgs wheel was too big for the boss kit :( so ordered a steering wheel .
Pics tomorrow hopefully .
This was the wheel I was going to put on ,

Screwed the arches on , they now have a black finishing strip between the arch and wing . Rears are a little tricky to fit , need a lot cutting off 1 end to get them to fit .

Once I win the Euromillions...
With the bump strips painted white car looks much, much better. Looking forward to see how you'd develop the white/pink theme :) To me is sounds pretty JAP :)

Difficult to park with that wheel and mini round abouts aren't to great .
Exhaust isn't loud either , Dont get deafened on the motorway and not daft on a 1.3 .

Met up with a mate and he took some pics
