fastcar magazine

[CAWKWELL]

has anybody else seen this months fastcar magazine its got a micra in thats been turned into a convertible on 18inch wheels looks alrite inside but outside looks pants.

 

[paddymarsden]

OMG 18" rims ! thats gotta rub like a set of lycra pants !!!

 

[CAWKWELL]

wouldnt of thought it would rub that much,i have 17s on mine and they dont rub at all after taking off that plastic inner arch out and rolling my arches.

 

[paddymarsden]

ah you see i forgot bout that plastic bit what sort of body kit is it ? or is it some weird thing ?

 

[CAWKWELL]

its practically plain apart from the back lights which are round and the exhaust is in the middle,plenty of speakers total power 3200watts and its still a 1litre a kreg.

 

[paddymarsden]

ewww sounds very horrid ! think ill pop into tesco later and have a flick through to have a look

 

[scottish-sr]

I read something about a k11 getting done like this. Was by Blaupunkt I think.

 

[Ben]

is it like a burgendy colour? If so its been posted on here before, was very smart - all custom inside

 

[Andy_S]

[scottish-sr]

Its an nice concept, but I dont really like that. Proper ned mobile,lol. The nicest thing is the seats I would say.

i hear theyre being banned, is this just rumour or true?

 

[59 bhp is more than enough]

we can all hope

 

[danni]

am i strange because i actually really like that!!

 

[Ben]

i like it too

 

[Davey C]

its an import so a convertable as std id guess.

 

[CAWKWELL]

no they chopped the roof off themselves

 

[Ems]

i hear theyre being banned, is this just rumour or true?

Yeah i heard that too, apparently they're too dangerous coz the actual spinners keep falling off!! Bit dangerous if the car stops but the spinners keep goin lol!!!! :grinning:

I don't think it looks that bad either but i wouldn't buy it if i had the money. And y 5 tft screens?!!!!!!fwn

 

[G_Man]

is it just me who would not dream of driving that?? :O

 

[Ems]

I got better things to dream about lol!!!!:grinning:

I like the convertable side to that car, makes the k11 look alot nicer imo, but the wheels, weird dash (apprechiate its a one off) and everything else spoils it imo.

 

[Speedle]

quite cool but not to my taste nice to see micra's being used none the less but a k10 would be even better

 

[Davey C]

no they chopped the roof off themselves

well the car is imported so its a march then, look at the speedo! i would have thought that it was a soft top std but if you say it isnt then fair enough just seem odd to chop the roof of a hatchback. but thats modifying for ya lol

 

[paddymarsden]

yea all of these convertables are imports....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4588171240&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1

they havnt chopped off the roof, imagine the amount of body work they would have to modify to make it look like that !
Very nice car indeed, there are a few of these imports knocking around in the UK but are about £4000

 

[59 bhp is more than enough]

no trust me they did, besides the march convertable was only made for the facelift wasnt it?

 

[CAWKWELL]

they put steel beams along the sides to add weight back to the car if you dont believe it read fastcar

 

[RIK]

it hasnt got import/march reg plates,they do an estate k11 too

 

[tommo]

and a saloon was made

besides theres a handful of k11 convertables already in the uk

 

[RIK]

and a saloon was made

besides theres a handful of k11 convertables already in the uk

but they are imports rite?

 

[tommo]

made in japland

a handful made it through via nissan

but being a micra convertable, i presume they were all snapped up by women (no offence) but theyve been posted on here after being spotted on auto trader, i can remember 2 different ones in the last 12 months...

 

[micra man]

Not so keen on the look of that at all exterior wise. Interior is lush, but wheels look stupidly big for a standard kit. Fair play for doing something different though, and the ICE is lovely also.

 

[Ben]

that particular micra is an english micra with the roop chopped off and made into a convetribke

 

[Anto Modded]

I think it looks well. Always nice to see something different be done with cars
