That is a good looking micra, nice and clean. I think silver is one of the best colours for a micra too. Look forward to the updates

Them seats are really nice look top with the harnesses aswell. How are you and what's planned Dan for the next step?

I would look nice if you lower it like the burgundy 1.0l you once had!

iam good thanks mate, not spoke for a while. i dunno what i want todo next, wouldnt mind a better exhaust but iam not in a rush.

its got the front springs off my old 1.0, got rears sat in my shed (Y) but dunno if i want to fit them atm.

karl mate. i suppose iam not hanging around lol. time is money

 

[hoodedreeper]

Good to have you back fella! Shes looking awesome already!

 

[squarepants]

cheers chris

done some more strippage. lost the carpet, roof liner & all the plastics etc.

kept my spare wheel & jack for some weight over the backend, as it feels to light IMO without the spare (i dont feel safe lol, as back end feels abit more loose) & it comes in handy if i have flat

removed a few stickers... still unsure about the ''i love my nissan'' one

also painted my wheels satin black, (put abit of laquer on aswell, look more gloss now)

removing fogs next & fitted standard blankers, also stil need to get my primera gt side skirts on.

 

[Liio]

Lovely pictures there mate, the micra is light enough as it is without stripping haa. Why dont you move the battery to the boot mate for a bit of weight transfer. Wheels look class too mate good job

I would also get tinted side repeaters, and also do the nissan badges black too, that would suit the theme lovely


:grinning:

 

[squarepants]

i've had black badges n smoked side repators onit before & i didnt like them tbh lol...

also done a battery re-loction before, cba with the hasstle

 

[Liio]

Ahh ritee any pictures from when you done it mate orr ....

Yehh it is a bit of hassle but clears up quite a bit of space in the bay :grinning:

[Guy]

Awesome, love the wheels (Y).

 

[martinb]

Looking pukka mate keep it up

 

[markbognor]

Nice.

I think the wheels would look better in silver, or a darker gun metally anthracity colour though

 

[squarepants]

note the pic with the white brock wheels is about 2years old

 

[Liio]

Aii them side repeaters and coloured badge would look real nice on the car as it is now, with the black wheels and standard grill. Try and get a photoshop done mate (Y)

 

[squarepants]

only thing i want to do to the exterior atm is de-bump strip it and fit my side skirts

want a cat back exhaust with 4'' backbox aswell (Y)

 

[squarepants]

primera gt skirts fitted..

loads of cutting was needed, but look awsome IMO

 

[Shaun]

They sit quite nice (Y)

 

[squarepants]

should hope they do lol, they took me forever to get them to sit right

had to cut loads of plastic off on the other side of the skirts!

 

[will930]

Keep up the good work! How many sets of wheels you got? Lol

 

[Liio]

I like them skirts a lot, they suit it

 

[alexzaki]

Clean, love it (Y)

 

[squarepants]

Keep up the good work! How many sets of wheels you got? Lol

i had 4 sets of alloys at one point lol...been through about 6 or somthing like that not really counted

i have the set on the car & another set of standard micra 14'' alloys in anthersite (multispoke optinal extra ones)

 

[squarepants]
