....is very much depressing :(

so I had a look at my bumper, to do the painting part right this time...taking off my mudflaps etc LOL

discovered that I'm missing 2 self tappers one from the trim under the main body and one that holds the centre section of bumper to the car :rolleyes:
gonna have a look in the garage for some later...

Anyway....PICS!!!

BTW...turns out that K12 mudflaps are very good at collecting mud in the gap between the inner arch trim and the lower self tapper
....and in the moulded grooves of the mudflap itself... :p

I've seen your pictures Joe and bear in mind I don't live too far from there, so my question to you is why were you taking photo's in a dogging hotspot?? ;) lol

Apparently doggers have good taste in scenery lol. The photo you commented was at the pub so I doubt they do it there lol.
Either way it was a nice day out :) you'll have to tag along next time get some modded micra shots

I was dropping off parts from my old Mondeo and asked to see the Micra's in. I was eyeing up the foglights, when the guy asked me if I wanted the spoiler so happy days. Yeah going to get it fitted and painted soon.
 
Discovered im only getting 38 mpg at 60mpg at economy cruise :S, cant narrow down where the issue is other then my thermostat replacement is still not getting to operational temp while driving around :S!

Don't understand enough about lambas yet either :(

This one is Obviously the only photo you need of the day :p
As i said the other day i'll do a bit of photobucketing soon, not tonight though, think my eyeballs might fall out onto the keyboard. o_O
 
wdidt

Nothing much, hoovered, cleaned all the interior, washed and waxed. Polished the glass. I have a question to all you magic micra owners if you would be so kind to share some of your infinite wisdom :D. Right well i have trimmed and fitted a polo front splitter to the rear of my k11. I'm thinking apart from another polo splitter for the front, which other splitter would compliment the front end? Many Thanks ;)

I believe there is a thread with a list of compatible ( or with minor mods) splitters from various other makes and models...I'll edit this post with a link in a jiffy :p

ETA: Found it!

Fillered the alloys, now time for sanding

Note : ill be needing new wheel nuts im assuming? just any will do or do we need weird specific ones? :L

^ no problem Immy...there are a few threads around with similar intentions, but that one seems the most thorough ;)

not the post itself but just saying i love the new signature you've got :p just noticed it :)

car stuff? its raining and my car is leaking...under the glovebox, and when i followed it up it seems to originate in the cabin air blower stuff that lives back there so i'll need to look at the seals sometime soon. Other than that not done much as rain = soaked bits that shouldnt be soaked when working on the car. Planning/laying out bits for a trial exhaust set up later maybe
