I want improve the looks, and the sound of the exhaust, but don't want to mess with the engine as its on 150,000 miles!

What to do is cover the car in super glue and drive into halfords

wheels and a little low usualy do the "look" trick , and dont cost loads or theirs a turbo up for sale ?

 

[Glen]

As frank says just have a look around and see which way you want to go

Air filter is a good start on the engine and it doesnt matter about milage cone or just an a new clean panel filter

Exhaust can be anything from Sportex to cheapo weld on boxes

Lows and alloys and bump strips removed

List goes on its all about what you want, As frank says check out peoples blogs for ideas and tips, thats what im doing!

I think the best way to start, is spraying your badges/grill, or de badging and de bumpstripping .

I like the bumpstrips on mine looks tidy with how it sits and looks great

Add a front splitter, change your grille to an open mouth one, debadge and de-side strip... More expensive stuff, change your wheels for alloys and get some 40mm lowering springs.

And most importantly as you're a new driver go easy, be careful and DECLARE YOUR MODIFICATIONS!

In halfords they have a special section on go faster stripes, in all colours and sizes, give them a try its a step further than you are now!!

If money is an issue for lowering springs, then a grinder is your best friend for now!!

DONT CUT YOUR SPRINGS!!! fed of people on here saying this there is so many cheap options now for lowering a micra.

 

[McMicra]

Save yourself the hassle and fork out the £80 or so quid for lowering springs
