So it was the big day, and to quickly sum up  : TOTAL FAIL. This is my first fail since I'm on the K11, pretty disapointed.

 Removal of the bumper went rather good, excepted 2 or 3 rusted bolt hard to access (one under the right headlight). Then just after, it started to rain heavily, I had to hide the Micra in the garage instead of Dad's Corolla.

 I tried to fit the Super S bumper and, suprise, the mounts are not compatible, as Frank told, but mine are even different from the blue on the picture, they seem taller,  and measure 8 cm, whereas the gap on the bumper is 7.

Second  problem was that the front tow being above the hole made for it on the bumper.


 I already read on french auctions for some front bumpers "compatible for Micra 93 - 98 except Lagoon editions" which is my model. So I had to re fit old plastic bumper, in the dark and under the rain.


Wasted energy, wasted free day.


The only "good" thing is that I found a badly tighten hose, that I refitted correctly.


I guess I have to find SR/Super S front bumper mounts ... If anyone got some,  PM please !


Cheers


Seb
