Wow, you've come a long way from your white one with black bumpers now mate!
Your car is one of my favourite K11s in the club!
James....not sure what to say....except that is an awesome comment and i appreciate you saying that.....does mean alot....so thank you mate!!!
yep i have come along way from my white 1.0L to now a 100bhp 1.3 with bodykit, unique parts, performance and ICE :grinning: im so happy with the outcome as i have been saying all along!! ive been getting some notice now lol.
Hoodedreeper thank you for your comment aswell!!!!
Stani1029 the parts i got off this awesome forum from so awesome members!!!! all the parts except sideskirts you can find at a scrap yard.....there are some other splitters that will find if you look around and if your capable of using fibreglass / filler properly (or nearly properly becasue its quite easy when you have a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) then anything is possible to be honest!!!
thanks again guys!!!

skirts sprayed and fitted this morning!
thats it cars finished for awhile unless there is a cheap turbo kit going for sale :blush:
the only problem i have with the kit is that it doesnt reflex like the car does?
if you stand opposite the side of the car you can see your self all the way down untill you get to the side skirts?? is there any spray i can get that is reflective????

a few of my mates said to spray them too, along with the black boot strip(above number plate)???
not sure though mate!!!??
im happy with her as she is!! i dont worry what any guys driving saxo's, corsa's etc think.....im happy with how she looks, handles and flys.
need to save my money me thinks.....although i have more than enough spray can left to do loads more :grinning:

napster, that car is lovely

Awesome Dawson
Go Nitrous Assisted it's cheaper than a turbo, and potentially safer if installed and used correctly

You have to show it off at JAE! Definitly worthy of a stand place. Besides, i havent met you yet
thanks again "Arnold".....not sure cars worthy of a stand....but im sure she would love the attention (the car that is lol)
just reading the JAE thread now :grinning:
thanks again for comments guys.....they have put a smile on my face (if that sounds sad then my apologies but its just nice to here some awesome feedback)

the funny thing is....i would love to put my micra on a stand with the rest of the awesome micras that are going (both k10's, k11's and k12's) but.....
if this was just up the road then i wouldnt have a problem......call me boring for not driving FOREVER, untill i got there.
yes i could meet up with few MSC members and cruise with you.....hold on
thats given me an idea.just talking about the words "micra" and "stand" and "MSC members" makes me smile lol.....why cant i stop smiling :laugh:
can someone help me decide please

Long drives aren't as bad as people envision them to be, if you have some decent driving music (I find funky house and trance to be good ones but each to their own) then the time just flies by! Even quicker if you're convoying with a few MSC members
You're coming to JAE if I have to tow you kicking and screaming hahahaha j/k

Napster, you are coming to JAE! It's not optional
mate....thats very kind you wanting me to come!!!
i need more info!!!!! sleeping arrangements, what i will be doing for those three days, convoy up, do i need to bring anything (car of course :laugh: ) ???
prob more questions, just alittle tired.....a very long, stressing day :down:
Sleeping = Camping. Very good atmosphere throughout the entire site! For the duration, you just generally have a good time. Enjoy the MSC barbeque, socialise, check out cars, ram drunken James on the dodgems, etc etc! The time just flies past.

YES...!!!!!!!!!!!
you will think "what the hell is he on about"......but to be honest i am so happy with the cars smoothness and subtle looks that a think the spoiler will upset the balance........i was only seeing what it looked liked because for some reason i cant stop modifing my micra.......again call me sad but i enjoy it
thanks "IGLOO"
i do like "mean Micras" micra when he did this to his, but i think it worked for him because of his smooth boot!
i may do it i may not....trial and error me thinks.....BUT I WONT RUIN THE SR SPOILER!!!!

had my car Maintenance this evening (just got home)......got in this special laser tracking system was really something.
got my car up on the ramps and started adjusting the rod bolts etc so it would be easier later to adjust the tracking!!1
got the car back on the floor and the laser system was attached, then switched on. we adjusted the sttering untill the rear lasers where perfect matches. then this confirmed how far the front where out by!
they showed the car was "toe out"!
then had to get on the floor and start adjusting the rod untill it was reading zero (0)
took a while because the passenger side was getting stuck on its thread :doh: and not moving anymore.
its out by 2mil at the mo but drivers is zero!!!
hopefully sorting it out next monday so the both state zero (0)

here are some BMW wing mirrors in progress!
you may laugh but they are not for my micra!!
as standard they "tilt" upwards on the door making it look weird and not practical for driving aroung with!!! therefore i have extended the top arm by about 3-4 cm to tilt it so that its straight and not pointing towards the roof of the micra
im guessing someone will say there is an easier way or brackets??
