Tom's Red Celebration

[06thomash]

Bought the car back in February 2014 from a private seller. Only two previous owners and 67k on the clock at the time. Here's the 1.0 micra in all it stock glory, minus the hubcaps.

Excuse the plate Old image

Left the car for a while until I stumbled across this place. Oct 2015 now so next step: sportex exhaust, lowering springs,de chrome grill and remove boot badges.

Getting better but still missing some details. Onto silver steels, deleting and colour coding bump strips, plus I sourced a wrap around boot wing from an earlier K11. Same holes but needed new adhesive. Got the old one for free if someone can pick it up.

Just need to refurb them steels now.

Neat, nice and tidy looking, I got mine about the same time you got yours with basically the same mileage

Looking good, keep us updated!

Posted in my rear lights thread but got my pre face rear lights all fitted

Happy with the car and the way it looks now. Wish I had a 1.3 instead of a 1.0 but that's the age old problem I guess. Runs good anyway.

Doesn't ever 1l owner? I'm looking at getting a 1.3, just a matter of time though, or I'll be stupid enough to put a 1.4 in my rotter

Some updates good and bad.

Fitted Bilstein B4 shocks all round with chopped rsr springs on the front and standard rear alto for the rear

While doing this though I discovered a hole in the driver side arch

It was the size of a 5p coin to start with and could've got bigger, but I didn't want to lose half my rear quarter so have patched it up for now to stop water getting in. Only the rear is like this and the passenger side is intact. Not sure what to do :/

Long time but still got W392 LMW

Passed last MOT with no advisories. Recent work is only a new o/s headlight since the old one had condensation. Changed the oil and filters since as well and lastely fitted the boltsbolts USDM sidelight kit.
