My first Micra, (with pics!!!!)

[Timmy80]

Well, i got my first Micra, picking it up on Tuesday. Its done 87k, 6 months t&t and cost me £395. A fairly good deal i would say but im sure i could have got it cheaper? Anyway, pics pics pics!

Not sure about the wheels :suspect:

Thoughts are most welcome!

 

[joesouthgate]

I had a set of those wheels! They are K10 Super S alloys

 

[Arnold]

Think the wheels are quite rare aren't they?

Thread moved too

 

[joesouthgate]

I've only ever seen a couple of sets myself.

 

[Timmy80]

coolaroo, ha!!(Y)

How much do you think they are worth?

 

[joesouthgate]

Not a great deal unfortunately mate, I sold my set for £50.

 

[Timmy80]

lol, i though as much. might keep them anyhow, quite cool

 

[joesouthgate]

paint them black with a red lip, I always fancied doing that with mine!

 

[Antony]

keep them as they are and drop the ass out of the car ....mm

 

[Timmy80]

Dont get me started
How would i go about it, what paint and so on? :laugh:

 

[R504VCS]

You got a good deal there, Mate. Nice colour and clean too. Looking forward to seeing it's progress.(Y)

 

[Timmy80]

Im picking it up on Tuesday and then going to get some Ring Max headlight bulbs and poss do a custom induction, I have the day off work, it would be a shame to waist it :laugh:

 

[MicraFish]

Looks good man, like it very much! The alloys aren't bad either! (Y)

 

[Timmy80]

im not sure if they will look lost in the arches when its dropped though, spacers perhaps?

 

[MicraFish]

Well Modded's Micra in the picture above I think was lowered 35mm when he still had those alloys (iirc anyway) so it looks decent enough - shame they're just not wider which is what they're really lacking in!
Spacers might help, but try not to go too overboard with them!

That car would look nice with a red and black theme. Get some black mesh in it.

Also change the rear wiper so it lies flat. Or take it off.

Just what I would do anyway. Looks nice!

 

[Timmy80]

Cheers guys!
What spacers would you suggest?
How would i change the wiper so it lays flat?

At that time it was lowered 35-40mm with 10mm spacers on the rear.

Cheers guys!

I would personally get some 20mm spacers and extended studs like frank, get them right into the arch, my 10mm ones were never enough.

[funky2nite]
