Hoodedreeper's K11 RELOADED!!

[Tom 1.0]

Looks awesome!

Really impressed with how this one is working out,

facelift FTW lol

love it (Y)

 

[ronin_kid]

your bonnet has given me some mad ideas on how to mix mine up - kudos, lookin greak HR!! (Y)

 

[hoodedreeper]

Whiteline Adjustable Pan Hard Rod arrived this week:

Me and a mate went to the PLAYERS VW show on Sunday,one of the main cars inspired me to try something out on my car. Mainly trial and error,and it came out PERFECT!

Passenger Side handle:

Driver Side handle:

Even decided to do the Air Box:

Also got some new Stickers:

Before someone mentions it,yes i AM aware its on the drivers side and that it 'may' obstruct my view but it doesnt. The pillar gauges block some of my view anyway,so the stickers dont effect it

 

[sp13rsy]

that is one nice micra i just dot like the face lift versions butthats me personally

 

[pjg1979]

That looks ace Chris, you've done a good job. do you plan on doing that door panel with the speaker on?

 

[hoodedreeper]

I was planning on doing the speaker pods and tweeter pods,but i dont wanna over crowd it. I think what i've done in the interior so far is just the right amount. Doing too many big areas may spoil it IMO

 

[C0llis0n]

I love the splatter effect! Think it really can work on a lot of cars. Did you see the Honda Civic in last months Banzai by anychance? The bloke had done the same thing to his rocker cover but in a white background and red+black splatters, looked the part! Hoping to do something similar sometime. Keep up the good work! Shes coming along beautifully!

yeah i saw that, very tasty (Y)


i think it'd look awesome if the rest of the facia was either flocked or sprayed black, just to finish off the interior, the original grey looks odd now IMO

but great work as always!

 

[hoodedreeper]

Nah didnt see the Civic sorry,got the inspiration from a Mk3 Golf. I'm looking into getting the Dash flocked,so will be hunting around for prices etc

 

[Tom 1.0]

cool (Y)

i'm not too far from you so let me know how you get on mate

 

[hoodedreeper]

I've posted it up on my Forum and another local forum to see if anyone knows of any places around here in Norwich

 

[Tom 1.0]

Cool (Y)

 

[hoodedreeper]

Went round my mate's house today to trial fit a set of 16" OZ Records,gonna have them on the car for a few days to see how i get one with them:

 

[jim_bling]

i love it mate makes it look mean as

 

[pjg1979]

Yeah, looks top notch, if you decide to keep them, I would do that red lip again or leave the spokes black and paint the rest red to match the car.

So to test them out, are yo going to a carpark and do quick full lock turns to make sure there's no rubbing, lol.

Also maybe a 10/20mm spacers on the rear?

Halloween is coming up better get some Grim Reaper masks to put on the head rests.

 

[hoodedreeper]

My Ceramic Bulb Holders arrived today and are now all wired in the car,many many thanks to pjg1979 for supplying them!

Hmm....i'm liking this alot:

 

[pjg1979]

That's great news Chris, when you have time please could you reply to my Trader PM.

Also, on your front mudflaps could you not cut a bit off and move the skirts forward a little or is it too late for modification?

And Yes those alloys look ace.

 

[Tom 1.0]

Awesome,

i dont normally like big wheels on little cars, but they look great, really mean looking (Y)

this car is brilliant, there cant be much more you want to do surely?

 

[hoodedreeper]

this car is brilliant, there cant be much more you want to do surely?

Oh believe me theres PLENTY left to do!

Nismo Spoiler (coming from ModdedMicra)
Smooth Boot needs re-doing
Pulsar Short Shifter (coming from ModdedMicra)
carbon fibre rear door cards
lowered 50mm & shortened shocks
custom front & rear bumpers
tidy engine bay up
engine mods (this will cost looooads)

think thats about it lol

 

[paddymarsden]

looks better everytime i check the thread.

if you decide not to keep the wheels drop me a line

 

[Robb]

I absolutely love the dripped paint on the black bits, now drip white on the cam cover

 

[solarice]

The drizzled paint reminds me of my old townsend warlord mountain bike...only its illuminous orange with black drizzle

 

[hoodedreeper]

Small update again:

Does your ___ hang low? Does it wobble to and fro?

VW Badge of course

Done abit more painting:

New bulbs came:

Before & After:

Think i need to get my beam levels sorted lol

All fitted:

 

[Robb]

Im liking those wheels veeery much, and with a nismo spoiler and 'custom' bumpers this will look even more tremendous!

 

[Tom 1.0]

why does one of the few facelifts in the club have to look so bloody good?

looks great mate

 

[djtweaker]

[hoodedreeper]

Had a lil Photoshoot with James aka Woody today,here are a couple of photos:

Popped over to the scrappy today to get a couple of bits,heres the Donar car:

[jim_bling]

[hoodedreeper]

Nope...major flocking session!

 

[Tom 1.0]

Awesome,

[hoodedreeper]

[Tom 1.0]

[Tom 1.0]

though it might be getting done sooner than i thought tehe,

just annoying the "other" facelift i think of first, yours, looks so good all the time! really need to crack on with mine, 1.3 plus lots of bod work to come me thinks!

 

[hoodedreeper]

Thanks Yeah shes coming along slowly Definately came along way since buying her in May 2008!

 

[Tom 1.0]

just a bit mate!

i like your idea of "slowly" though (Y)

 

[squarepants]

Thanks Yeah shes coming along slowly Definately came along way since buying her in May 2008!

i remember when we was having talks about the planned mods over msn the week you got it

 

[pjg1979]

Some great pictures there Chris. Are you having black flock or going for red?

 

[hoodedreeper]

I can also remember saying i was strictly doing Engine mods and NO exterior...looks like that ended up the other way round ha ha

The dash will be flocked black

 

[hoodedreeper]

Small update,thought i'd tidy up the back drums,gave them another lick of paint and some minor detailing:

 

[jim_bling]

haha lovin it mate

 

[paddymarsden]

i have to say this is a great looking car, did you take your mates OZ wheels off ?

 

[hoodedreeper]

Yeah took the 16s off as i've got a car show this Sunday and the 15s are in better condition lol

Plus the front 2 tyres on the 16s are pretty low,and i can garentee police will be at the gate catching anyone

 

[C0llis0n]

Im in love with that detailing pal, brake drums are a great idea!

 

[Dragonmaster_uk]

cars looking mint mate might have to pinch that idea on the back brakes though

 

[K10-Lew]

I find them paint jobs amazing! I've become more attracted to the 5dr models now ive seen yours!
keep the good work up.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Went to Nissan again this morning for my mate to do some more work on the car:

- N/S Outter CV Boot replaced
- Whiteline Pan Hard Rod fitted
- Knocking on Exhaust/ARB sorted

Heres a photo of the exhaust showing how close it was:

The exhaust was knocking on the body of the car,also theres some very light wear on the exhaust where its been hitting the ARB. To solve the problem,Matt heated up the exhaust bracket and bent it into a U shape,and put the exhaust rubber back on. This then brought the exhaust over,clearing the ARB and body/floor.

And a random (crap) photo of the Pan Hard Rod fitted:

 

[hoodedreeper]

UPDATE!

Bonnet was sent back to the body shop to be re-done as paint had wore off in some parts and the grille had cracked. Big thanks to my sprayer Mark for sorting it out! Also added the Nismo Graphics back on:

Done abit of removal today,heres what it looked like before:

After:

Throw in some new parts....and....

My new Flocked Dash

Big thanks goes to Dave at Totally Flocked Up for doing an awesome job!
