Whats with the plastic engine cover and full plastic sills??

I believe its because they can't check the sills for rust properly with the side skirts on so they issue it as an advisory ("There may be rust under here yo").

Bloomin' 'eck, those things will help keep cars from parking too close to you at any rate, looking sufficiently mental too.

you've given em side burns

i think they need to be abit lower and around the curve more forward so that the lower straight edge is parallel with the bumper?

 

[pollyp]

so from this chart, millie's gone from clean shave, medium full beard after crash and now the mutton chops

if millie is a lady, perhaps her human equivelant would be the luvely Conchita Wurst who won eurovision?

[MicraPRO]

Preparing for the dreaded insurance I hate this time of year... cold calling and arse licking doesn't make me want your company a cheapest quote does...
So after some time with meerkat site and silly robot site found a quote of £420 with break down from Flux Direct, not bad really.

Next a quick phone call worked as a pick me up after all the searching for cover.
'Hello Mr Humphris send me a Nismo front splitter please' because it was the last one he even reduced the price bonus!

Time to get her ready for summer again ie fix everything that's knackered haha!
Front bumper needs a little edit,
rear bumper needs repainting and my custom side skirts are barely hanging on...
It's a little embarrassing in all honesty.

 

[h701micra]

So pleased you're soldiering on Tom

 

[MicraPRO]

That's what it's all about hey Andy... any news on...
Steering rack bushes
And the new design coilovers you were working on? Think it could be time to go a bit lower depending on how this splitter fits.

 

[h701micra]

Absolutely mate. The best projects take years out your life. If it took 2 minutes to get there it'll only last 2 minutes

New coil overs working out well dude got BC onside making bits too

Got some bushes to test

 

[MicraPRO]

That's very true...
Oh good so separate shock and spring setup for rear now right?
What are bc doing for you?
Sweet let me know if your looking for a k11 test car

 

[h701micra]

Yup separate shock n spring now
BC are making the springs so we've got some decent springs rates n quality
Always looking for K11 test cars

 

[MicraPRO]

Sounds good bc must be charging a fortune tho surely?
Do you have a price for a full set with new style rear?
Well look me up if you need someone to do some reviews of stuff

 

[Clodo]

I'd be interested in the separate spring rears happy to test on mine, let me know when you need a test car xxx

 

[h701micra]

BC are being quite reasonable to be honest. Haven't had to up prices because of part changes

New style rears pop up at £300 but I'll have to swap the fronts to be the same Chloes so you can raise em up properly

I'll send you both some pieces soon

[MicraPRO]

Well after a 12 hour wait it finally arrived...

Nismo style front lip
Quality not brilliant I have to be honest... very thin in places but I guess a few layers of fibre glass will sort that bit of body filler to smooth over some cracks in the top coat and then painted...
@karlj any chance I can get some close up pics of yours?
For fitment purposes?

 

[pollyp]

and he'll have some of my well used BC dampers to repair/refresh too tomorrow

 

[karlj]

I'll get you some pics Saturday when I'm up the garage

 

[MicraPRO]

Thank you so much... a little bit of appreciation really does go a long way.
Plenty of highs and lows over the years.
I just won't let her die.

 

[Mark :)]

@MicraPRO yeah not gonna lie I would have thrown the towel in a couple of times but good to see her still going strong! I've not long had a MICRA so in the early stages atm!

So today myself and Chloe prepped the Nismo splitter for its new colour.

Then I spent 45mins talking to a lovely bloke from Flux about insuring the beast for another year...
I was very happy with my £350 agreed value quote
Good day in general!

 

[karlj]

Cheers Tom, now I really need to tidy mine up
