nothing lol its on standard shocks and springs atm..want to cut them but weathers not really been on my side lolWhat springs you using? Looks mint, But skymera's right it deffs needs more lows.
No dont chop them.
Get 2 sets of alto rear coils and drop it on those.
Suppose to be a straight swap. But I think you need corsa rear shocks.
Supposed to give 50mm drop all round.
Total cost would be around £100 to £120 depending on weather you go scrapy or new.

Aye s' all good^^ Nothing wrong with cutting springs as our very own @h701micra discovered after his research

I have been schooled. I think I'm going to look into cutting mine instead.

Doesn't mean what you said was wrong thoughI have been schooled.
Just means cut springs when correctly cut are effective. Can't stress enough how important it is that they are cut properly. By that I mean quickly and cleanly and not allowing the spring to heat up
I know. But like you said if its done right it'll work. It pretty much goes without saying for anything.
I have to say sorry for comandeering the op, but the level of knowledge on these forums is unbelievable.
I'm glad I got a micra.

Even if you cut slowly, as long as it doesn't get red hot along more than a couple of mm you're fineDoesn't mean what you said was wrong though

It's the type of seat the spring sits in is the important bit

So i went up to see salzam100 off here as i had purchased some bits and needed to collect them,was nice to meet another micra owner So the parts i had bought were Super Sport bumper front and rear,Rear shelf with speakers in it,also a internal boot handle pannel
So today i thought i'd get to it and start prepping the bumpers for paint..gave them a quick wet flat, next is to fill up all the little pin holes with some stopper and get them into primer
and forgot to post this but il post it anyways..Had some paint laying around after i painted my rocker cover and grill so thought id paint my bmx bike in the same colour too..came out pretty well i say

That spoiler colour is well off!!
I think my spoiler may be slightly of in certain lights....

OP
OP
lol it is, wasn't happy with it myself but i guess it was due to me not letting the primer dry before applying the base colour,but hopefully next week end il be re doing it and will come out betterThat spoiler colour is well off!!
OP
OP
yeah in some lights it matches in some it doesn't but over all it isn't a perfect match neither a near enough match lolI think my spoiler may be slightly of in certain lights....
OP
OP
its not too bad,considering my door handles,door strips,grill and side mirrors came out good enough..
OP
OP
could have been but i used the same can for the speedo surround and that matches nicely i think its due to the fact i painted over the primer on the spoiler to quick and didn't give it a chance to dry properly
OP
OP
yeah i used grey primer on all the parts i have painted,hopefully going to give it another go next week see how it goes

OP
More updates not so big but they're still updates lol..so i decided to strip down the front end again to modify the standard mounts so the super S bumper fog lights could sit in nicely heres a pic of the mounts after they met the grinder
Now what does this little switch do..(was my first time wiring up a switch AND fog lights btw)
It did THIS:
and a night time pic
just need to tuck and sort out the wires behind the bumper,that will be today's job when i get the chance
