Then went to another playday and it ended up a bit more extreme! ;D  Thats another coil off, making it 3 coils all together and then:  Bull bars ftw!   together with another awsome k10 micra known on here  monster truck k10?  heavy duty bull bars instead?  awsome drivers wing  All hands on deck ;D  All though Ive taken it back off as I dropped my keys again when trying to get in the boot and its a royal pain in the ass to get them from the inside of the wheel! Though once Ive got a pull cord boot release then its being reattached |

As mentioned, or did I just think it ?
I love the fact you are going your own way with this.
Price is great for what it is too.

Looking good! Do you get the 5-speed box with the 1.2 engine?
I really must do something about the stance on my K10. I'm loving driving it so much, the 1.0 engine is a little screamer even as standard. But the handling is a bit of a joke at best!! I suspect i may have some worn bushes or something because it doesn't feel quite as i think it should be!

Yea the 5 speed box comes on all 1.2. Heres an update for you all. After seeing Bias' micra and another one on the micra's forums, I thought this has got to happen. Ive got to find a pre-facelift front end. The smaller lights and slatted grille look so much better. And to my bloody awsome luck a good friend of mine was scrapping a pre-facelift micra and asked if I wanted anything off it. This would mean that the bullbars would have to come off, which makes it a bit less unique but so far has improved my economy! (this was supposed to be a cheap economical car when I bought it!) Instead of using a full tank for a 340mile trip it now only uses 3/4! w00t. The donor car:  Stripping mine down  and all back together, just need to paint it now ;D  I also stuck some sidelight bulbs in the indicators for that us look:  After all that, I tried on my mates wheels 13x7 et20 and 13x8 et15 and they sit soo well, so I think I might have bought them off him ;D     I think I might need to flare the rear arch a tad ;D  |

Those wheels look spot on...and I reckon that the rear arch to tyre location is nigh on perfect.

Nice work! I love it in the last pics with the fancy rims, you have to buy them!
I too have been thinking about these little cars lately thanks to all the cool ones that pop up on here. They seem like really reliable, economical little retros with lots of potential as you're demonstrating! ;D
