The story of the Green Monster

So i got my K11 in April 2013 as a first car, £800 from my brother whos a car trader. It turned up at mine with a Fli 12" sub in the back which i was not expecting! First thing i had to do was put some stickers on it of course, let the customizing begin! The woman who had it before me managed to crack the grill in half, but have no damage on the bumper below it :confused: but its currently being customized to have metal meshing behind it (Nismo copy on the cheap side ;) ). The sides of the bumpers and arches have loads of scratches and the rear left side it bent a little but im not fussed about that, they'll be more when im done no doubt!

So after i had a good look at it i thought, off with those gay trims on the wheels!

Much better! tied a little Monsters Inc toy to the tow hook aswell but it got muddy from driving through puddles haha, my bad! Next thing is get that grill off and send it to get it customised by a friend. The day before my friend was coming to take it away we were driving through Warminster and a hench Rottweiler popped up out of no where and hit straight into the left side of my poor car! The little bastard done more damage to my car than it done to him! He jumped up and just ran off, me and my dad were confused but though ah well, its all good. We came home and looked under the bonnet to see if anything was broken and the left headlight was fine but the plastic bit that holds it on snapped clean in half... really weird as the lights absolutely fine haha.

Next thing i done was stickerbombs, i had to as its my first car ;) done the little panel on the handbrake which is useless, stereo trim and petrol cap!

Still waiting for my mate to order the paint, found it really hard to find the right colour :( but hes found it and hes waiting for his dad to have money in his Paypal. I ordered a badge off eBay and sprayed it black, its a newer badge so its bigger than the older one but still looks alright!

Ill update when i get a new headlight bracket and when the grill is finished! only little tweaks right now but in the future ill be lowering it and no doubt changing **** in the engine (if bastard insurance companies get cheaper or i become rich!)
 
A nice start Chris. Simply fixing all the little faults and cleaning the life out it can make a world of difference. I'm after paint myself for mine (the same colour as yours) so if I get a code I'll let you know.
 
Good start. A clean is such a good idea. Mine didn't look like it had ever been cleaned inside or out.. was filthy!
I like the stickerbombing the inside useless panels. I have a few to do.
 
yeah, im not gonna bother cleaning it until the grills on it then ill take some more pictures when its looking smart! and as i havent passed yet my dad takes me up salisbury plain along the tracks driving so if i clean it, it will just get muddy the next day anyway! but yeah, just getting round to fixing the little things right now. the paint code is DR2 and its in the engine bay in the top left corner
 
Painted the rear badge black, looks so much more discreet and loads better! still waiting for my grill off my mate, hes having money trouble with paypal so we're going to put the grill back on and wait for paint to come and he'll take it off again and just paint it then.

Had to avoid an audi overtaking me on a roundabout and then hit an oil stain, no grip, curb... Passenger side wishbone broke almost in two.
 
what! that sucks! me and my mates were looking out for micras to be there and that and that red one were the only ones we saw, needless to say i was gutted but the others were laughing at me hahah, hope its up and running soon.

drill a hole at either end of the crack, it will relieve the stress and prevent it from reapearing
 
tried the alloys and they fit fine! wooooo! Cade Eros for £80! rear tyres flat because it was an old one but you get the idea haha, now i just have to pass my test so i never go offroad again and actually put them on! so close to scraping aswell but its just about alright, just enough room for lowering 35mm when i buy the springs too, lots of money to save up for now! christmas time i hope ill have everything how i want!

they will be even more lovely when i have £200 for tyres! so lucky to have a big brother whos in the trade, £200 for 4 tyres! bargains! now the wait until i either get a job or christmas comes for springs and tyres!
 
Well like I said I love them :D ever wanna sell them bagsy first dibs ;) it is looking really smart :D got any more plans or is it hush hush :D X
 
well get my grill sorted soon which it nearly is done! just a few bits to sand a bit more and put some paint on and mesh it up and its ready! other plans are to get the alloys on with tyres and buy lowering springs probably after christmas, then its pretty much how i want it until i start to mess about with the exhaust! gotta get it low and slow first!

What size tyres are you getting for them? I only paid £100 for 4 on mine..
 
so 5 months later and shes still toothless -.- but i have it back and im currently sanding it down and prepping it to spray, went and got the paint code in a shop in town so the lazy #### didnt have to order online -.- progress at last though, alto springs are gonna be ordered once its payday for my mate whos buying my alloys, they'll look better on another clio like its originally from instead of a micra, and i want 13s anyway
