syko's micra build

[CMF_syko]

here is my micra build. bought the car back in 2006 damaged hoping with the plan to put it on the road as my first car. but then started modifying and it still hasn't been on the road for longer than 6 months... any ideas as to how i would improve my car would be greatly appreciated.

Sweet.. Are you going to spray the whole car since you've now primered most of the car?

"Sweet.. Are you going to spray the whole car since you've now primered most of the car?

yea i've been looking for a colour for a full respray. thinking matt white with white wheels.

 

[CMF_syko]

i really don't know about the wheels.. but i might take your opinion on a colour if you want to choose between them

 

[CMF_DECIM8]

Go for Jade green.. I spotted it on this forum earlier (not the same but similar) looks tops

 

[CMF_syko]

spoilt for choices now boys.. white wheels would look awesome as i've got some nismo wheels stickers to finish them off.. i have considered bright wheels.. tein green maybe..??

 

[CMF_Micra_King]

you going to mod the bumper to fit the number plate into like this micra?

 

[CMF_syko]

no the plan is to have a smooth micra.. think i'm going to get some stick on numberplates and think about the position of them when the cars painted..

 

[CMF_micratech]

Nice! Always good to see project micras getting some hours spent on them..

 

[CMF_syko]

i'm sure all the work will look good when it's done. cheers for the comments boys.

 

[CMF_syko]

just a quick update. hopefully i will be getting paid this weekend and i've already decided what my money is going on. should hopefully have a set of lowering springs and an adjustable panhard rod. aswell as some sunny calipers and vented disc's.. treated myself to some yellow headlight bulbs aswell.. don't know what the legiality of these are but they are gunna look sweet.

 

[CMF_syko]

urmmm removed all the numberplate lights and then make a tin plate to cover the gap. had to have a few mill over lap then welded the plate on and filled over the weld. then rubbed the filler down and then started filling the whole panel.

 

[CMF_syko]

you'll have to make a build page..

 

[CMF_syko]

i felt like scrapping mine.. until i got primer on.. thinking about a badboy bonnet. what do you guys think.??

 

[CMF_micratech]

Go for it! Will look great with that smooth front bumper Any plans for some kind of side skirts? Im a fan of both the look with side skirts and without them, depends on the whole package..

 

[CMF_syko]

think i'm going to leave the sideskirts.. badboy bonnet, get some 20mm wheel spaces.. then hopefully i'll have some paint lined up..

 

[CMF_syko]

i thought they were gay.. but i think it will finish off the front end.. i've made my templates this morning and i'll weld them on this evening.. might take a few pics depends if i decide to go for a pint.
