Subtle mods for the Micra...

N

neds

Right well starting to get more and more into the whole Micra lifestyle lol so decided to add some nice and subtle mods to the car. Have added the K&N Panel filter today but haven't tested the results yet. Also sorted out some of the problems with the rear light and starting problems.

Now for internal I have got an LED interior light. That's it :D

Any other suggestions, looking into getting an LED gear knob too

Will something like this fit?

Cheers

From some Ebay guy, good deal:

Here


You want the 33-2060 model number for the Micra.
Came out to be about £33 which was a good deal.

is wel easy to do and there are HUNDEREDS of threads so do a search!

Also, no need for an LED gear knob looks tacky, the one you can see in my pic cost like 20 quid, you can buy them with gaitors and surrounds aswel so that is definatly something you should consider instead of buying the LED one. Hope that helps a bit.

Nice one Glenn, good job, will look into that. Your gear knob looks cold to the touch! I was looking at some leather ones ooooer o_O

lol yeah is freezing in the winter! would have prob got a leather one if i was to get another one, would look better with a black gaitor aswel.
 
metal gearnobs are cold in winter but in summer, if u have sun shinning on them allday, they can be mad hot and you will change gear quicker then every before

Mine is bigger than yours ;)

Well cheers for that, think i will get a leather one.

Also I was looking at changing the steering wheel too. Now had a little search and see that steering wheels from other cars will be a direct replacement.
Now i hear the 200sx will fit? Also will Nissan Primera's fit OK too? Are there any other cars that will fit straight on?

Cheers
 
Will a newer model Micra steering wheel fit my 94' model? The one is question will be coming out of an T Reg one. Do these have air bags? are these difficult to fit on? Also will the horn connectors be the same or needng re-wiring?

Cheers
 
Goodness sake, why is it people think adding a flashing gear nobb and colour wash jets ect make your car kool!!, it doesent, it just looks cheap and nasty, it gets your car featured on BB's, and you just look stupid...


No offence to anyone who does add 5 quid objects to their car, but it just looks nasty!
 
nothing wrong with a bit of accessorising. Everyone does it, wether to their car or their personal appearance. Even manufacturers do it to try and appeal a car to a younger generation.

I wouldnt mind getting some alloy pedals and gear knob for the GT when i buy it, just to make it feel more personalised for myself.
 
yep the 160sr comes with gearrnob and pedals in alloy...saved me a few quid

also white dials,,and i was thinking of making them black,just because they are standard! if they was black ide want white ones :s
 
Yeah, well IMO its a waste of money...put it towards a real mod...like alloys, splitters or spoiler for example.... Flashy lights and rubbish just make it look like a cracker toy...
 
Been offered £30 for a 100NX steering wheel. Good deal?

Been to the scrapper the other day but not much choice there, may go again and see if i can spot another nice Nissan where i can pinch the steering wheel from.

can say the same other way. Alloys splitters and spoilers make your car look like a matchbox toy, why not spend it on a real mod..... like cams, flywheels, superchargers, turbos


Each to their own

Exactly, some people THINK its cool....

Case closed, if they want to add stuff to there car, who am I to stop them!? its just to me i'd rather keep the car its original value.
 
sorry, but I'm really lost here...... It was you who started it with your comments about big lights being tacky, now you've totally 180'd on your argument, making it appear as if it's something you've said all along.
