My k11 so far, thoughts so far?

[Angus Robinson]

Ive had my car just over 6 months now and have done a few things to it so far, got a massivs list still to do!
so far ive swapped the front seats for OMP bucket seats, lowered 90mm all round, fitted 5" de-cat japcan exhaust, sprayed all the grey bumper trims matte black, and removed side strips
.

Before i sprayed the grey^^

im now fitting my 8j weller banded steels and wide arches

What method did you use to lower the car 90mm? i'm not usually a fan of that colour but yours looks awesome!

 

[Enuo]

Thats more like a 70-80mm drop...

corsa b coil overs on the fron with k11 mounts, corsa b 70mm lowering shocks with cut springs (unfortunately) still 100% safe though, not had any problems

They are stamped on the inside saying "wellers"

 

[Angus Robinson]

[McMicra]

They are 7j dunno why it says 8 haha. when i work it out it came out at et4? not sure though, my boss helped me figure it out.

 

[McMicra]

should all be stamped on the wheel eh, would've though you would've needed a bit of stretch to get em to fit

they are very stretched in my opinion

 

[McMicra]

That's hardly any stretch

this is a lot of stretch

Look fairly stretched, seen this car on splitter sufferers you got a good response surprisingly

Tyres effect total ride height, for suspension lowering you have to measure from centre of wheel to top of arch and compare to a stock micra

How dare you.

China Blue is the new black...


How easy was it to sort those nasty grey trim bits out?...I want to do that to mine...like now...

 

[McMicra]

Spray em black

 

[Magpie42]

Do they just pop out or something? To be honest, I've not looked closely at them...

The other option is painting them china blue too...

No they are integrated into the bumpers,

China blue would be the best bet but its whether you want to risk having a crappy match, most people go for black as it looks good and no match worries

The grey bumper bits don't pop out, but the chrome grille can be removed and sprayed black
For me, I like colour coded corner bits and black lower grey bits, but some people paint the whole bumper and it looks alright

Other option is to fill the gap between the grey and coloured bumpers then spray the whole bumper, and that should look ace

 

[Angus Robinson]

the corner bump strips pop out and so do the small plastic vent bits pop out aswell.

Yup... I did mine at the weekend... just wrapped a screwdriver in tape and prised them out... easy peasy.

How easy was your seat swap, Angus?

all i done was unbolted the rails off the standard seats, and welded the rails onto the bucket seats. Took about an hour to do both seats

Ahhhh.... I've got a set of Scooby seats in my garage and a set of micra seat bases which I'm picking up later this week... hopefully, I can find a way to join the two together without welding....luckily, they're pretty much identical widths!
