what did you do to your micra today ?

[Andy5077]

Put a 4th coat of matt black on the letters of my blinked (bead blasted) rocker cover!

Cheers

Going with a matte finish, as i'm using Graffiti paint as i quite like how Chris's K11 looks and it's a pretty cheap way of changing the colour. That and i've got red doors to put on and a white Pre-face conversion so if i don't change the colour it's going to look a bit odd.
Anyone think it's worth going for a darker shade of blue?

 

[Chris Huzzey]

Yesterday I re painted the door card plastics matte black and finally took the airbag light out, blew a fuse on the indicators aswell haha, today the banded steels have finally gone and put on the chav wheels, had to raise it on the front because was eating rubber, had a puncture on one so getting replacement rubber from the girlfriends step dad tomorrow

I think electric blue is nice bit darker like this pic would be nice with silver or black details http://carbonfibrevinylwrap.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Audi-S3-Matte-Blue-Vinyl-Wrap.jpg

Let's face it Ben.. No matter what shade of blue you go, my neighbours are going to complain when you turn up hahaha!

You need to start ignoring your neighbours lol I'd start by chopping your backbox off

 

[davyboy]

Yup, the right hand blue

 

[huntr_micra_sport]

gonna go against everyone else and say europe blue as it looks more retro and i think it would fit better with your k10

To the stake!! Burn him! only joking lol

Hopefully fixed everything for tomorrow's mot, don't think I've missed anything

 

[SuperUno]

Grass autotest in the MGZR (Road Car) at Brands Hatch

 

[SuperUno]

T'was very close to hitting a cone at the end of the test, got away with it just....!

 

[karlj]

mot day

 

[pollyp]

Fingers crossed

 

[karlj]

mot day

Fingers crossed

Well she failed leaking exhaust and insecure battery (knew I'd forget something)

 

[pollyp]

Woopsy, quick fix then retest same/next day

 

[Magpie42]

Well she failed leaking exhaust and insecure battery (knew I'd forget something)

If I got that on an MOT, I'd consider it a proper WIN....

 

[karlj]

Left her at the garage so they could sort the exhaust, no t&t so couldn't bring her home... the advisories on the other hand are somewhat disheartening

 

[Chris Huzzey]

bought a yellow facelift today hahah! £100 CG10, 64k miles, bodywork and suspensions naff but hopefully the driveshafts and boot joints from the sunnys box fits straight into it

 

[GeorgeG]

Got my first goodies from Mat Humphris. Ordered them yesterday at lunch time.
We ve been on the phone and exchanged a few emails and he is indeed very very helpful.

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Spent a good three hours changing my dash from sea of brown to sea of grey. Looks miles better, just got the rest of the interior to swap haha!

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Brown dash is free to go to a good home if anyone wants it lol

 

[markbognor]

Brown > Grey

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Really? You like the brown dash better.
I do kinda like my brown dash for retro looks but i donno. The grey one (plus all my interior bits) will make the inside look so much better

 

[Andy5077]

Changed my tatty old rocker cover for the shiny, bead blasted, 4 coated lacquered detailed one I refurbished lol!

Before!

and after!

Next the manifold cover lol!

When do we get to see some pictures of this beast?

It's nowhere near finished yet... but here's a sneak preview now that the new suspension setup is in (diesel spec, and gas-pressure all round).

Two Yoko 21's on the front of my road car is bad enough.. People must think there's a Landrover Defender following them!

Whichever you are most comfortable with, as a general rule I use my mig on 1-4mm and arc on any thing thicker.
