My Nissan Micra Sport - Black 1L - 2003 (Facelift)

My name is Harry and I am the owner of a Nissan Micra Sport. I have been driving it for just over half a year and am really happy with it. I have had no problems with it, not once broke down (Touch wood). However I am looking to make it better (Not by putting massive body kits) or anything like that on. Just simple little things which I can add to make it look nicer. Here is my car now.

As you can see I have white wheels yes. I bought them from a scrapyard with BRAND NEW tyres on for just £80. However I had to respray them; kinda regret spraying them white as I have this problem every week.

Just from a weeks drive I have a huge amount of brake dust that covers the whole wheel. So maybe having them resprayed a different colour? as you can see I have various marks over the alloy which shows paint falling off.

I thought painting the calipers would be a nice and easy job. It didn't take any longer than 20 mins on each side. Not only this but I have painted the rear break drums black

I do believe that the car does look better with this added to it as before it was just rust. Ok so enough of my wheels; I have recently resprayed my grill - Black around the outside and left chrome in the middle, would love your opinions on it. Here it is

I thought it went quite well, and I am very pleased with the result of it.

Car looks very clean here actually! But like I said, I would love your opinions. Ok so I started looking for other little bits I can adjust/remove. I then started looking at the badges. I managed to take off the front badge; however did not realise there was a hole underneath. So soon enough that went back on! I then looked to remove the rear badges.

As you can see I had a very clean finish to it. It took a lot of scrubbing down by eventually managed to remove everything off which I was very pleased about. As you can see I have not really made any huge changes, just little things that I think makes it look a bit better.

Hoping to get some sort of new air filter for my car but here is what under my bonnet looks like

Nothing has been changed; just the standard.

Radiator isn't looking too healthy...

Now here is the inside again - Just a reminder the Micra is a sport so it has a pretty cool interior design:

The car is in pretty good nick, interior looks near enough good as new!

Just reached 79,500 miles today which really isn't too high. But like I said, I would love your opinions and any thing that you believe to look nice I would love to hear from you. The car is a Micra Sport K11 - 1L Facelift just to remind you.

Thank you.

Very nice, this is pretty much exactly the k11 I want Lol
...One day ^_^...

I love what you've done to the grill, it's subtle and simply updates the front end ;)

I quite like the white wheels, however they'd probably look great in a gun metal grey and that would take far longer to show up the brake dust etc :p
 
Well thank you haha :) yeah the grille isn't like stupidly over the top, just gives it a fresher look. And yeah it would be nice, and a lot easier for me :L this is the problem.. Do I spray them or just leave them?
 
I like those wheels too :) would changing the brake pads when the time comes to different ones to keep the dust away.
 
So after respraying my bumper today. I went to go out... And my car has broke down :L any ideas what it could be? The sound out the exhaust is now really loud... And the car shakes.. And studders ALOT
 
Had a service on my car today, Changed oil, sparkplugs, fuel and oil filter and also added a K&N air filter today. Just the servicing alone I can notice a difference to how it drives... But here is my air filter.
