Any suggestions how or if I'd an make it look anything like? ( I can't lower due to disability need the height but was thinking painting steelies black (till afford alloys but I love the black edging on skoda it just frames the red I think but any idea how to do this on micra n will it look naff? Also black roof? Or no black roof? Naff or not naff! If so how's easiest/cheapest to achieve?

I've Ben out the car scene for a while n used to vw's but really would like to make this look less.... (Grannyfied! If I can say that!

Grateful for any help thanks x

Rover 200 side skirts, front and rear splitters,
Wrap the roof matte black (might be cheaper than spraying matte black),
If its the facelift, spray the two grilles matte black.
Spray inside of the headlights black (shiney silver bits)
I don't know about yours but mines a 2002 facelift and the badges on rear were just glued on
So you could debase the rear.

To help visualise what Turtle suggested. I had Rover sideskirts fitted aswell as the roof vinyl wrapped (but mine was carbon,but from a distance it looked black,just to give you an idea)

I used the Flyeyes vinyl which costs approx £15
Or you could split the lights and paint the inserts black (plastic primer,black paint and maybe some silicone sealant = £15?)
Black Vinyl for the roof should be approx £30
Rover 400 Skirts approx £20 from a breakers yard

Judging by the third link,his car is a pre factlift model

If you want to take inspiration from any micra thes is the one to take it from.
But try not to copy, put your own twist on it and make it your own.
What front splitter did you us hood?

Front splitter in those pics is a Leon Cupra R splitter with the ends cut approx 2" each end

Very nice micra hoodedreeper, also thanks all for advice, sounds very do ale! For. A novice & a women! & in my budget I love to be individual and not copy people's styles yet wish to achieve a bit of the look of the Monte Carlo! Just not ott! Hw can I tell if mine is facelift? I collected it today but was dark so will proper have look in morning x mines 1998 R plate x

Hoods micra is a facelift, the easiest way to tell is that the front grill is intergrated into the bonnet

 

[hoodedreeper]

If the side indicators on the front wings are completely circle,its a prefacelift

If the side indicators are oval,its a facelift

Pre facelift!
