WDIDT?..well a couple of weeks ago I finally changed the other rear quarter interior trim that had been scratched by the previous owner
...but I forgot that the foam I'd stuck on...wasn't there any more (My parcel shelf is annoyingly rattly)
so I put some new foam pads on the parcel shelf support and on the bump stop meeting point (where the hatch lid comes down and the rubber things hit the metal)

...no more annoying rattle! ^_^

May have to borrow that Jen, mine does my nut in!! :mad: Kids aren't overly impressed either :oops:
 
The way I did it with the old parcel shelf was to cut a slit in a chunk of packing foam
...and slot the edges of the parcel shelf into it...that way you don't have any glue stuck on your trims, and still get the same softened landing effect ;)
it only rattles when I go over lot's of bumps or a pretty sudden one :p
 
Wdid? resprayed my grille to match the car (finally!) and did a quick arch gap check :p


arch gap?? nehhhhh :p


The arch gap looks bigger on the full car pic :( just a little bit of tuck shadowing it, when i get the longer studs ive ordered i'll space the back out, decide whether to space the front any more and then adjust the coilovers to suit :)
May also do the mesh blaaaack as a mate suggested...

Then clear lacquer. For the primer and lacquer I use U-Pol power cans but U-Pol gloss white isn't very white tbh :)

As they are just down the road from me I haven't dealt with them online but I've used them for ages with no probs. Good prices too

No aint any contest,

Painted the callipers today.. Used a pillow slip to mask up. Its a handy template.

You're not missing much Joe :( You went with a Sheff bird?? That was brave (or stupid) of you ;)
 
Fitted my new gearbox, put some new cv boots on and ended up having to make a new gearbox mount.
Also went to the scrapyard for a browse and saw a white (K11) Micra SV, never seen/heard of this model before :confused:

i bought it as i already have a SR20 micra and am addicted 2 it, also i bought it as im not afraid of a challenge.

Is your other sr20 complete then? And i wouldnt call that a challenge, fitting one from scratch is a challenge. Can only see a bodge or complete remove/refit if its as bad as ive read
