Hi guys!!
Thought i would finally get round to doing this as ive been on here for about 2 months i think but have had college commitments which take up all my time
Bought my first Micra yesterday, first of many i hope not driven Her yet but already love her! Heres a small description
My long term future plans are:
1. Keep this for a while to build up some no claims and build my knowledge;
2. Sell this and maybe get either a full Super S or something else small and japanese! Possible Glanza V as i adore them!
2002 Nissan Micra S 1 litre 16v 3DR
Light blue/Turquoise/Green (cant work it out)
Done 63000 miles
Good Points!
Seems to be in a relatively fair condition;
Not done too many miles IMO with the age;
Pretty decent Kenwood Head Unit;
Love the colour;
Runs well;
All four genuine Nissan wheel trims!
Bad Points!
Extremely scuffed front wheel trims! (No sexism but last owner was a woman)
Small amount of rust on both doors where the previous owner had finger protector things on the edge;
Boot release and lock constantly stick, have to jiggle to unlock!
Cheapish Plans!
Remove the bumpstrip from the doors, or colour code them;
Colour code corner trim on bumpers;
Colour code plastic front/rear grills;
Change colour of chrome grills;
LED Rear Lights;
Some new headlamps;
Maybe debadge;
Get some new wheel trims/alloys if right price or stay with steels and refurb/paint;
De wiper rearwindscreen;
Paint inside trim different colour;
Sort out rust;
More Expensive Plans!
Super S bumpers;
Maybe some form of spoiler;
Possible respray if i get bored of the colour;
Different rear number plate mount;
Various different handling upgrades;
Lower slightly, maybe 20-30mm;
New dials with Rev Counter;
*Reupholster seats;
Now for some pictures!!! Please excuse bad quality, was taken with my phone am hoping to get a better camera soon!
This is all just stuff i've noticed while ive been looking at it, not done any indepth yet! Eg engine, underneath etc!
If anyone has any suggestions, i'll be more than happy to listen as this is the first time doing this!
I will try to update this as regularly as possible, as soon as ive completed something or run into any problems!
Also, i will be joining the MSC soon, just getting money sorted so i know exactly how much ive got!
I paid £1600, do you guys think this is a fair price for mileage/age/condition?
* Seats will need re doing as we live in the countryside so get lots of small furry creatures, one decided to move in overnight and nibble the edge of the seats Please excuse the mouse poison in the pictures!
