wayne
 
all for £200 with 6 months tax. december MOT

1 tiny bit of rust on the front arch and thats it!

immaculate otherwise

very happy with it

needs new wingmirrors though pfft

and a bloody fifth gear, i think i have went for 5th like 20 times already
 
I duno though, after having a 4 speed and now a 5 speed, i prefer the 4, and i do motorway driving?!? lol

I have a spare set for foldable mirrors if your intrested?
 
nice looking car mate

i've got a passanger wing mirror you can have for £10 posted, all it needs is a clean, and thats all.

Probably because your 4 speed is a wide ratio and the 5 is short. The 5 speed wide ratio is the best box for motorways
 
to all those offering me mirrors

i will take a photo of my double garages and my lock up when im back up north at the weekend.

i could most prob re build 3 micras with the amount of spare stuff i have in there.

just wait till next week when i give an update :)

LOL! Trust you to modify a run around. Didn't expect you to respray it! You know your insurance will also be going up on this one with your new changes, and don't forget to tell the DVLA about the colour.

Are all your cars in Oxford now? Will have to come by and say hi

i had already told them what i was doing to it

standard nissan alloy wheels, respray in a new colour, and standard kit :)

since they are all built for nissan it does not affect insurance

untill next month when it all comes further down on my 25th birthday

whooop

nah my vectra and my 2ltr are still up north for the moment

untill the council sort out my lock up

but i shall be sorting the vectra and the 2ltr very soon
 
its indirectly through direct line,

4 years no claims etc aswell, and since everything is classed as standard nissan parts (except the lowering springs) they are ok with.

i have complete off road parking, in a catagory B+ insurance area

i have notified the dvla regarding the colour, but they said its fine, as i havent got the V5 back yet. they said just resend it back once i recive it :)
 
from the micra matey

someone on here will remember which they are, not been around for that long i cant remember which they are

obviously like most kits for the k10, they are rare. lol
 
Yep definately haselback. People always mistake them for foah ones as they are often matched to foah bumpers (As seen here and on my old K10). I THINK Curtis' K10 has haselback bumpers (Or a different variant of foah).
 
The three different style kits were called 'Foah' kits for years on here. Speedle found out that one style was hasleback, and now everyone assumes they're all called that instead of Foah lol. Either way, they're still pre face lift factory fit bumpers
