good idea didnt think about slider windows, and already got mud as i live in devon aha.
not much you can do externally to make it 'look' like a rally car , as rally cars are prepped on the inside, engine and running gear,
maybee a set of mud flaps and alloys

Thanks guys, where would i find a wide arch kit can find any. And if i lower it by 30mm does it look good or shall i try find 50/60mm springs?

You dont necessarily have to lower it to look like a Rally car... White wheels maybe? Big Mudflaps? .Stickers & 4 Spotlamps .. Don't forget the White square on each door(front) with your lucky number on it tho ..
Yer i guess i just want less body roll as its way to rocky. Thought lowering would make it stiffer?
Ive got sparko flaps and duno where to look for spot lamps.
And im looking for a 1.3 to make it worth doing, just finding on tho :'(
look for "micra rally parts" or similar on ebay.co.uk - there is lamp pod for 70 GBP.
As to the lowereing of the chassis it is a very good idea to lower it. I went 50mm with gas shocks. If your suspension bushes are ok the ride will be very nice. If you decide to go with strut braces at some time, remember they will make the car stiffer and will make the car slide much quicker, if you are too hard on the steering.
The 1.3 is a nice motor, good old times quality materials and no real cost cutting. It's a big difference to a 1.0 for such a small car.
