Nice car!

I see now that it is the same purple as mine, and not the red :laugh:

What was the inspiration behind the silver hood and grille?

I noticed you have the standard issue black bumpers, any plans on a change?

Im desperate to get rid of, or even just paint mine... saying that tho, yours look good all shined up and with the mudguards attached.

The new grille looks sweet!

Im still undecided about either doing that but with silver mesh, or just taking out the black slats and adding the mesh.

 

[bens851]

well i had a small crash...
so that was the cheapest bonnet and grill lol
but no i have it i love it!
the bumpers are staying the same! i love em like that and also with the 2 tone car what coulour would i paint them???

Id go with purple, but as I say, yours actually look pretty good.

Mine are all tatty... The back one has a dent from when the previous owner backed it into something, and the lowest centre point of my front one is cracked now because of a speed bump incident.

I think thats my main reason in wanting rid of them.

Tho I have been thinkin about painting them white until I get them replaced, purely because I think it will look a bit different, and also because I have a few cans of white spray paint kickin about :devil:

If i liked it tho, i might paint the wing mirrors and a super s spoiler in white too

I posted a thing in my blog about two toning my car, but didnt get much feedback

 

[bens851]

i dunno about white mate.... its too bright lol!
yeah my bumpers are in good nick!
few scratches but nothing apart from that

 

[Scott Cruz]

Ive done a mock up of the white on my blog... I dunno about it being too bright, I think with the accents it ties in and looks descent.

 

[bens851]

my micra is nearly finished guys i cant b arsed to spend any more money on it lol, gonna paint the bonnet back to purple can i hear your views please????
