[darrenc1995]

Just Though id start a thread on this an post a few pics of my k11 Micra heres what has been done from when i first bought the car

I Bought the car in November off a granny with ONLY 39,000 miles on it and only 2 owners from new :O I jumped on it the second i seen it haha the car still has the original radio from the factory

Things i have done so far
- CG13 engine with CG10 gearbox an flywheel
- Banded Steelies 7.5j Front an 8.5j Rear
- Daewoo matiz set up on front with perch drop
- Corsa b rear shocks with cut springs in rear
- NodSpeed adjustable pan hard rod
-Wrap around spoiler w/brake light
-Tinted windows
-Tinted Headlights
-Got back box put on that a friend made for me brap brap

I have a few thing to go on the car aswell sitting in the shed waiting for good weather
-Centre Spoiler
-Rear Lip for bumper
-Sprayed50/50 Tailights


All the things done the car I done myself because im unemployed an get about 30 euro to myself every week which goes on petrol haha but its worth it So I really got most of the stuff for the car by pure fluke an thats just by being in the right place at the right time hahaha

This is how it looked When I just Bought the car

 

[darrenc1995]

So the first thing i had to do was to try get a nice set a wheels, Which I did my friend had a set of his old micra in his shed but needed a little refurb I think I did a good job.

 

[darrenc1995]

I then went an bought a roll a window tint to tint the 3 windows in the back, The rear window didnt come out good so I peeled it off an gonna give it a go another time but the two side windows came out perfect!

 

[darrenc1995]

I then came across a wrap around spoiler w/brake light an a centre spoiler on adverts an bought them an sprayed them myself

 

[darrenc1995]

This is how it looked when I put top spoiler on, still havnt put the centre spoiler on but will be soon, the car was well to high needed to be lowered haha

 

[darrenc1995]

So I started saving for lowering springs, but one day i went into a garage with my mate to get his clutch done an was talking to a fella that worked there about my micra telling him that im gonna lower it he turns around an says i have a set here from a jap micra customer wanted standard ones in when she was buying the car so I asked him what price he was looking for them he said ye can take them for FREE I was delighted

 

[chrisuk2009]

I think it looks really good mate.

 

[darrenc1995]

Just a few pics I took after washing me car, Well that splitter didnt last long after I lowered it anyway

 

[darrenc1995]

Some Parts I have in the shed just waiting to go on to the car as soon a i get a bit good weather !

50/50 Lights

This looks good. I like what you did with the front indicators, makes it look more 'nineties'.

 

[IrishK11]

Indicators look standard to me? Am I missing something?

[cgten]

Front (headlight) indicators are normally clear, but it looks like he's tinted his lenses orange.

 

[darrenc1995]

Ye it's tint on the indicator side of the headlight

I'm considering moving to Ireland just because the number plates look so much better than ours...

I've never understood why UK registration plate regulations are so tight, when practically all other countries get to have cool looking plates.

 

[cgten]

They can't even pin it on ANPRs, since most other countries use those with no problems. It seems to be a pain for the sake of being a pain.

The drivers door window line on a starlet is wonkey. Hence micra with a wonkey door line.
