Hey, i would like to say im a bit of a designer so i did it myself. I was given the software on my computer and used the new Citroen Ds3 r2 as my inspiration. I got the stickers finalised and made in a company called Smart Graphics in South Wales. Seems to fit on perfectly and your not the only one to ask for the design so i must be doing something right!Hey matei own a micra rally car too
Just wondering where you got your stickers from the car looks awsome!
Any chance you can pm me the name of the software ??
OP
OP
No i havent been to Talbenny i have heard its a great venue. I think its another venue i will have to try next season! Still decideing on whether or not to do the Welsh Gravel Championship or the Welsh Tarmac Championship in 2014? Hmmmm....
OP

I will have a look but i think its called Composer or something similar. Get back to you asap!

Sorry its late but i only just been down to see the graphics company, but the name of the software is Gerber Omega 2.1 if that helps
Thanks very much mate, now just to cross my fingers and see if i can pull magic talent from somewhere :/ ..... lol

OP
haha it didnt take me that long to do actually, i am a bit handy at designing but it only took me an hour or so to get to the stage it is! best part was getting it to fit the micra! haha. Had a few more bits made the other day so pictures of them up hopefully too!
OP
OP
Just some of the new kit we are trying out! and The new Matt Humphries sticker and wheels refurbs!
OP

Had a last minute autotest today and dusted the car off for a run! Went really well and was very quick compared to the rest as it was tight and twisty and suited the nibble micra. Only problem is the handbrake wasnt up to much and didnt really work after used it to go into a corner backwards....haha little bit too much speed but some great pics! Will upload them soon and i even a video!

Been a while since ive updated this....sorry guys! Soon ive got two events back to back so a lot of hard work and just my luck one is Gravel and one is Tarmac so no time to test set up in between but it will be fine. Hopefully get some good pictures of the car and blow the cobwebs off it haha!
Chance to try my new wheels and Slicks aswell...Yes!
Also found some old pictures of the car when it had some success in the English Gravel Championship from 2006 onwards....
It looks a bit.....well very different now haha!

Yeah sorry havent posted in a while! Been a busy time with me turning 17! Done three events....had first in class on the first two winning the 1400 class and Junior! and On the last and most recent one i was staggered to have a 1st Overall! Came as a shock but with some damp and slippery conditions the car felf amazing and was able to put the power down compared to others! Leading the championship now.... and yes the wheels are all 14" by 6" dont have any other size at the moment.
Just a few photos from each event ive done recently! Got a month or two break in events now to pass my driving test and start stage rallying! Wish me luck....

They are to deflect stones and mud away from the rear beam and all the areas of the rear, i think it gives some protection to the tank as well but thats full protected with kevlar anyway.
OP
OP
Yeah i do i think personally because the drive wheels are at the front they are firing stones straight at the underneath of the car so i think for the actual weight of them they are very useful, all cars must have mud flaps but they dont need the centre flaps that i have. The material is quite light and versitile and works very well. Its just for some added protection and i quite like them just makes the car look a bit more properly prepared.
OP
OP
Yes thats right they have to have them on all wheels.
Depends on your discipline. I don't have to have them for road rally. Clatted up with wet mud they must weight 4kg which I'd rather not drag around. The public get offended by spotlights, helmets, noise and graphics so, as I compete on open public road I'm only allowed a single car colour and no helmet. Spots are limited to two and restricted in size. There are very few spectators to protect, the sides and underside are just as dirty with or without them so I don't have flaps.
OP
OP
Yeah the car was a road rally car when i had it just changed the spec to suit my needs still got all the stuff to put it back. The dirts not to bad it clears itself and round my area is a high concentration of rally cars and drivers so public dont make much of a fuss.

By any chance do you know what the paint code of the yellow interior is ?
I have a micra rally car which is yellow inside but struggling to get a match and yours looks close
Cheers

Very nice rally little beast!
You did spot welding reinforcement on chassis? Or added reinforcement plates? I'm looking for a chassis reinforcement scheme.

Thank you very much!
There is reinforcement plates welded to the body where the legs of the roll cage join the shell.
And all the shell has been seem welded along all the joints! Other than that it has been cut away not reinforced!
Cut all this away yesterday! Put half our polycarbonate window kit in only got the other side to do and in total i have saved 15.1 kgs already!! Amazing how much weight there is behind and in some panels you don't need!
Get some pictures with the windows in later!
