[QUOTE="pollymog, post: 215526, member: 4791"] I would appreciate that Phil :) I don't want to spend too much dosh & I'm not really looking to buy new wheels, if I can find a decent set for between £40/£60 then I'd be a happy man. If they came with decent tyres I'd be even happier!! I'm watching a couple of sets on eBay at the moment which look reasonable to me. I still haven't got the car though - friday lunchtime now as it needs a bit of welding (front cross member) for the MOT :( - so I'm not sure I should be spending money on it before I've even taken delivery of it! Really all I'd want to do to the car (at least initially) is get some alloys, a set of lowering springs (if I can be bothered as I presume that fitting these will alter the steering geometry?) & swap the steering wheel. I'll look into less restrictive exhausts & filters later on - when I fitted these to my old Mini based kit car this was called a stage 1 tune. All I'm after really is something that's a little bit different from the usual crumple hatch you see. Before deciding on the Micra I looked at the usual Saxo/106's, Fiesta's, Ka's etc & found them all a bit dull. The Micra's not exactly the last word in styling but it's a bit different (even though there are millions about) & it's got the 1300cc 16valve engine which is a little gem. I really don't want to start adding bodykits & huge wheels as at 43 I'm a little old for all that malarky :laugh: :) [/QUOTE]
