Don't forget the silver door handle trim also. Are all these trim pices easy to remove for painting? Also, what is our paint code we need to do this? I refuse to pay over the top at Halfords. A model shop might have it or B&Q make up paint to match things or to a code.

Here's something I might consider getting if it's not too hard to fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231691409728?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I do appologise for the terrible photo, but space to take it wasn't good, that and the battery died on the camera before I could take a decent one. This is the state of my gear knob on the 160SR. What I wont to know is, is if those DIY leather colouring kits on eBay are any good at doing a cheap...

I take it the dials just pull out and new ones pop in, from cream to black? I've been putting this off thinking the whole unit needed changed. I really want a set in mine and with plenty scrappers on eBay I'm sure I'll get them very cheap

Looks a really nice one. I don't like the Nissan black one. I have the 160SR with spoiler. That's the one I prefer, though this one look really nice too

Yes. It's on order. Little things like that help complete the car back to as near factor as can for the cars age and my budget

Turns out it's inside that's gone milky, so a new one is on the way at £35 in postage and the screen wash and 12V socket caps for free from a scrap Micra DCI!

Ye, very handy website that for varios tips and hints to do general DIY mods/maintenance. Nice clean engine now. Years of dirt and s**t all gone. It makes such a difference. Now to tart up the engine. I have just noticed that the screen wash cap is missing, so that along with the 12V socket...

I found a local garage that will do the worst bits on the bodywork for £500 cash, but obviously it won't be as good as the pro job for that price, as he said he'll cut a few corners for that price and due to the age of the car. Hopefully it look real good though and tidy the worst of it, then I...

Has anyone ever replaced the gear stick in a 160SR K12? Mine, I can't tell if the leather can be recolourd or if it requires replacing. If it can be recoloured, is this a DIY job or a specialist job? I've had 2 buisnesses say it sounds like replacement (without ever seeing it), which, given the...

I tried Bennets of Scotland for tidying up the bodywork. They pretty much said they were a prestige bodywork company and quite expensive for the work I wanted doing. They told me to go to a smaller local body shop. They then said to think about it due to the age of the car and how much I wanted...

How do you make the pics big like that? Just so I know for my next blog. Pop a few pics of yours. If we are near, it be good to have ours together for a photo shoot

A nice mod, but not for me really. It was done standard on the Ka Collection and I grew to hate that car I had. Just a thought, but making the tape flush and streight with the windows top and bottom will finish it off nicely. I like the individuallity people have for their mods on here.

I thought I'd follow suit and do a blog on my project car, as people seem to find them helpfull and interesting for ideas. So, where did it all begin. Jeremy Clarkson said something i'll never forget (not the crap that got him evenually fired). He said in relation to a car review on a Top Gear...

Liking the colour combo. Looking good so far. I like 5 door for my daily driver (new orange Aygo) and 3 door for my project car (blue 06 K12 160SR) as the 3 door looks slightly coupe.

I bought my 160SR with the drivers headlight haven gone milky. Wonder why its always the drivers side that goes. I'm going to get it polished along with a few body repairs to get it looking new again.

Replying to my own message here LOL. Talking to myself is nothing new LOL. Anyway, I got that bonnet catch issue looked at and it turns out that it was just a sticky catch and some WD40 cured it. Nice, free, easy fix. Now onto the next job to get it up to looking new again. Feel free to use this...

I have an issue when the bonnet release catch is pulled nothing happens and therefore I can't oppen the bonnet on my 160SR. Any ideas what this could be and if it's an easy DIY fix or a garage job?

Loving every trip in the 160SR! best purchase ever!

Loving driving my 160SR
