Ian, i hear what your saying! i will admit ive taken it abit to far.
i started off buying unique bits and bobs to make her stand out. then it changed to a bit of a boy racer car with splitters and side skirts. then i changed to a rallye "look" and now im somewhere in between so it looks......slightly weird
which is why id love another micra.
put back the supers bumpers on this one and make the wheels wider. thats it. car finished.
and with a new micra, fit all my other bits to it. then ive got to cars for different purposes
walking to the car on somedays i think "wow" and driving it i get that factor (go kart feel, manifold noise) and other days i think "unfinished and weird"
im not really going to win. but it comes down to what i like and at the moment im not sure. i look back over old pics and think i wish it was back to that again you know.
regarding the leds, i spent alot of time making them and getting them to look right. it wasnt just the usual led strips you see that anybody can buy off the shelf and are on every modified car under the sun. i tried to be different and i have fun making and designing things. i guess what it comes down to, is with everything ive ever made, fitted, mechanical electrical and body work, ive had my fun

its easy to take your car to a body shop and say "fit this, install this" 2weeks later...its done. i like the hard work. figuring out how it works. trial and error. and buying all this stuff has kept me occupied
