ffs kris why do this everytime.....remember the new rules!!!

i think its coming on well all you need to do is colour code your bumpers and side strips :D

keep up the good work

awww hehe little dinky cars.

Looks good as danny said colourcode your bumpers and side strips also your door handles and mirrors. Maybe think about smoothing the boot? Would certainly look different. Oh and get it de locked and de badged too.

Personally Id get rid of that spoiler, its looks abit naff but thats my opinion.

Looking good 8)

It's coming on.... But you need to lose the roof rack ! Get the type that goes around the rear window, and is fitted to the tailgate..

Andy, we still ain't met but I'm loving the car more and more!

My project one is moving slow, got a load of parts and more to come, jap impul bumper, lowering 35mm, remus exhaust, 15" alloys (in black spokes and crome lip), smmoth boot and hopefully a re-spray.
Just need the cash.

Just cleaning the car up after I replaced the whole front end as cross member was rusted to fuck!

As for what Daddycool said, gotta agree, think I can get you one like that already in red if interested!

Agreed with that back spoiler mate, get rid of it, makes people wanna ask if your set for take off!

I dont mind that White Micra at all

Andy_S

19th June 2005, 10:50 PM

lol well you know. I like it, its different. Its being lowered now and the sound system is being redone with a 6000W Amp (2400W RMS) monoblock and 2 10" subs in a bandpass box. :) The bumpers might be colour coded aswell as the mirrors. Im gonna delock it and get central locking on it. :)

cool, looking well. keep it up fella

20th June 2005, 10:26 AM

Coming on well!!

Love the tints :D

Mish

27th June 2005, 06:58 PM

The white ones cool, its very much like an out and out rally one i saw a bit since...
Andy_s you have a fair way to go yet, its all a bit to chavtastic for me and that spoiler looks like a skinny ironing board. The tints look too dark and your rear lights look rank...but each to there own i guess

goldstar0011

27th June 2005, 07:13 PM

I met up with Andy this sat and I gotta say he's doing good so far.

Firstly he's got one of the best condition Micra's I've seen (and I've seen loads) perfect sills and front cross member has some good years left in it.
His boot install is coming along great and has some nice wheels.

He just bought some rare factory (SuperS) micra bumpers from a mate of mine, already in red and working driving lamps, will make the car loads better.

If you need anymore help (or parts) bud just let me know

Mish

27th June 2005, 07:22 PM

im not mocking his ability by any means but the car as a whole is so far to the other end of my tastes its untrue. Each to there own as said, im sure theres plenty of people who dont like my car, but i dont do it for them so it makes no difference :D

goldstar0011

27th June 2005, 09:18 PM

Thats cool!

I'm just glad there's an open mind here to different ideas and tastes, one of the micra clubs I'm with have a habit of slating a micra that doesn't fall into the "normal" modding ideas!

I've got a mate who's fitting a wide arch body kit to his micra and planning to fit a 2L turbo engine in!

goldstar0011

28th June 2005, 11:31 PM

Am liking the response Andy's getting for his Micra, hope I get similar when mines finished!

Andy_S

30th June 2005, 10:46 PM

Thanks for the opinions guys. All goes into thought.

Gonna be a hard job for me fitting the bumpers lol. Im useless. :lol:

goldstar0011

30th June 2005, 10:53 PM

Andy_S

LoOnEy_LiAm

12th July 2005, 07:39 AM

two things to do to that car..

Either...

1) Scrap It

Or

2) Stick A Nissan Pulsar Gti-R 4x4 Engine In It And Waste Cossies :lol:

Guy in leicester stuck that engine in and it absolutely flies!!

DNO

12th July 2005, 08:07 AM

goldstar0011

12th July 2005, 04:57 PM

good good. The bumpers are from a Super S Micra (Sporty Version so i am to believe lol)

Thanks to Goldstar for the Bumpers. :)

Thats looking awesome mate, see you got the front one on then!
How'd you fit the spoiler? Looks better without the wing.
Does the colour match ok?

Andy_S

12th July 2005, 08:44 PM

colour is ace mate. Didnt need to take lights out. Mate had a home made screwdriver which bend into the small holes :) Took some time like lol.

The colour is exact matey. ill bring it down sometime.

The only things planned for it are Lowering and full exhaust with backbox system :)

the mirrors ill spray paint in the same colour and the bumper strips i might have a go at taking off. :)

The funny thing was i thought Kev had bought that screwdriver thing from halfords :oops: After tackling your bumper my next trick will be my cylinder head gasket :twisted:

goldstar0011

13th July 2005, 06:53 PM

bumper strips i might have a go at taking off. :)

be careful, have a look at my passenger door on the white car and my first ever attempt took paint off down to metal!

Heat gun but not too much to bubble the paint and sticky stuff remover to remove the really stuck on stuff!

Andy_S

13th July 2005, 09:08 PM

suppose so or i might just spray em :)

Andy_S

20th July 2005, 09:09 PM

Got To Be Done :)

And your number plate would go where ? :wink:

Where in Failsworth are you cos i recognise that mill in the background, and it's doing my head in... :?

goldstar0011

20th July 2005, 09:43 PM

You get a square reg plater and either screw it on on stick it on.

Andy, basically looks like Kristians (the lad who sold you he bumpers) but he has 1 exhaust.

20th July 2005, 09:52 PM

You get a square reg plater and either screw it on on stick it on.

But he would also need a numberplate light..

Would it be central or at the side ? :?

20th July 2005, 10:03 PM

Featureless = Bad.
Leave SOMETHING on the rear hatch...anything...

goldstar0011

20th July 2005, 10:33 PM

Light, know of a few people who moded a plater surround to hold lights then mounted surround

Looks good smoothed but I'd have a nice tribal decal on it!
