Hoodedreeper's K11 RELOADED!!

[jim_bling]

that looks lush mate how much is it to flock it mate and can they only do the whole dash or can they mask parts off as i want mine white stripe through the middle and then the rest black

 

[hoodedreeper]

Small dashes are 90 quid. The company have sponsored me so i got it abit cheaper

Theres 37 colours available,i'm sure it can be masked off and split. A customer's car is having their dash White with a red Rising Sun So i'm pretty certain half white and half black wont be a problem

 

[joesouthgate]

Looks awesome chris! Need to do something about the switch surround in the middle, stands out at the moment!

 

[hoodedreeper]

I had to remove it to get the dash out. And you have to remove the dash to get it out lol

 

[micras69]

how much did it cost to have it done, looks a spot on job (Y)

did you watch him do it? would be intresting to see how its done

 

[hoodedreeper]

The company sponsored me so i got a good discount on it. I got the Dashboard and 7 pieces of trim done for 60 quid

Nah the guy lives in Southend and i had to meet him at Colchester to drop/pick the stuff up

 

[micras69]

ah, good going then eh £60 seems a very fair price (Y)

so it only cost you ( or would cost me ) £90 for the whole dash to be done? where abouts in S'af'end is he based?

 

[hoodedreeper]

Yeah just the dash board (not sure about glove box) would be 90 quid No idea contact him via his website www.totallyflockedup.co.uk

[hoodedreeper]

Couldnt resist buying more stickers:

Also removed the speakers & tweeters as the speaker pods are having a new lick of paint over the winter period:

 

[pjg1979]

Car looks great Chris, it's come along way since your last Micra....

Just wondering did you ever manage to work out what was wrong with the H4 Ceramic connectors when you fitted them?

 

[Davey C]

cars looking awesome mate, really nice taste in modding

 

[hoodedreeper]

Originally it was:

Dipped Beam = Hardly any light at all (looked like side light brightness)
High Beam = What Dipped Beam should be

So i swapped them two over and now its:

Dipped Beam = how it should be
High Beam = No light hardly

And now my high beam light stays on constantly on the instrument panel.

 

[pjg1979]

Riiiiiight, when you've got a minute can you tell me the colors for the cables below including dashes is any.

Passenger Side:
From Behind the bulb

Left -
Top -
Right -

Drivers Side:
From Behind the Bulb

Also saw this at ASDA and thought it would be good for your Parcelshelf, lol.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Love it I'll have a look tomorrow and will post up

 

[hoodedreeper]

Right,heres a diagram of the wiring (harness side...as if your in the car looking towards towards the harness plug)

Top Diagram is Driver Side

I had Matt come round,and we compared the wiring on mine (as it is now) to his and its exactly the same. But the high beam light is on the dashboard,and highbeam is still reeeeally dim

 

[pjg1979]

Is Matts Micra also a Facelift? I shall check against my wires tomorrow when it's light.

 

[matt1987]

mines a pre facelift but according to the manual the wiring changed in 2000

 

[pjg1979]

Chris mate,

you need to swap 2 and 3 round on both H4.

See Attached image.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Thats how it was originally...which meant dipped beam was reeeally dull. Only other thing is that the filliment has gone...but in both bulbs?!?

is yours equipped with dim-dip hooded ? (like my super s had)

 

[pjg1979]

Are you sure, lol.

If you have 1 and 3 mixed that means there will be 6 volts going through both filaments instead of 12 through dipped filament.

that how the dim-dip works (ran in series), via a relay near the column iirc (modded removed his, its in his ss blog i think)

 

[pjg1979]

I believe only the Pre-Facelift models have that function.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Last Friday i took a trip to see Fast Eddy and came away with a large sheet of Carbon Fibre This isnt your usual carbon,unlike this glass fibre matting with a layer of carbon,this is the real deal!

Any way....i needed a template so got some cardboard from work and measured/cut out the template:

The rest is pretty self explanitory. Cut the carbon with a thin grinding disk,also tidyed up the ends with a dremel. Heres the finished result:

After cleaning up all the dust etc i proceeded to fit them....

I've gotta admit,its not the tidest of carbon door cards. But considering this was the first time i cut carbon this large,i thought i didnt do a too bad of a job. Its better than having plain doors

Total cost : £53

 

[pjg1979]

For 53 squid that's a good price, not a bad job either Chris.

1. Do you still have the Door Handle surrounds so it looks tidier round the handles?
2. Also maybe a Large Washer painted red for the window winders, unless the original winders will cover the hole.
3. Some chrome trim from your local motor mod place to go round the outside.

Also what's happened about the H4's?

 

[hoodedreeper]

the original winders will still fit on there. I'll look into some trim to tidy the edges up.

I still havent sorted it out sorry

 

[hoodedreeper]

Now featured on Totally Flocked Up...the company who flocked my dash. Follow this link and then DEMO CARS at the top www.totallyflockedup.co.uk

 

[Tom 1.0]

Cool

looks great mate

 

[pjg1979]

Looks Great Chris, really goes well with the centre console paint job you've done.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Thanks Dave will be doing my door cards for me soon Trouble is the grey fabric parts of the door cards wont be able to be flocked as it wont stick Unless someone knows if that comes apart from the rest of the doorcard?

 

[pjg1979]

You could try skimming it with Resin and hardener then sanding down, but it sounds like a lot of work just to do that, or got to the scrappy get a spare door card and tray a heat gun and singe that fur, lol.

I reckon you should do the plastic tops of the door cards if the colour you've done the console in.

 

[hoodedreeper]

I would but the speaker pods are going in the red splatter finish. If not i'll leave that section grey...doesnt bother me that much

 

[pjg1979]

I reckon the they both could have the same effect shouldn't look too much.

 

[setb]

where did you bought the carbon ?

 

[hoodedreeper]

local performance trader here in norwich had a very large sheet of it. I spoke to him,gave him the measurements and he cut it off for me

 

[C0llis0n]

haha just joined the definedridez forum and guess who I see? you forum whore keep up the good work Chris!!

 

[hoodedreeper]

IIRC i'm on about 25 cruise sites

 

[pjg1979]

25 Cruise sites, micra, facebook, job. How do you fit it all in. I can barely fit my micra in.

 

[hoodedreeper]

work 9hr shift 5/6 days a week,get home takes me a good hour or so to check forums,check facebook,have tea,go out cruisin,get back at midnight,goto bed. I pretty much do that 7 days a week ha ha

 

[_n3o_]

Sooooo Sexy ! !

This arrived yesterday,courtesy of Fast Eddy:

Having the new Steering Wheel 10mins,i had to add abit of 'hoodedreeper styling' to it...

OLD WHEEL:

NEW WHEEL:

 

[pjg1979]

That is Wicked Chris. propa-job.

 

[hoodedreeper]

I was afraid it'll cock up and look crap,but doesnt look too bad

Oh and i managed to rewire the headlight plugs. I removed the ceramic bulb holders and replaced them with the Pearly ones. I put bullet connectors on it,so i can change the holders when ever with ease. Rather than messing about with soldering etc.

When dipped beam is on,the high beam light on the dash is half lit. When high beam is on,the light lights up fully.

Its now dark so will go check to see if they've got 12v going through them rather than 6v like previous

 

[andy]

looks really smart what your doing...

 

[joesouthgate]

Love it mate (Y)

 

[Robb]

10/10 the best steering wheel ive ever seen!
