Soooo I may have bought another micra... As bought. Now after swapping all my bits off the old one. The total of 2 days of ownership... Yep i'm quite literally mental. Short but sweet opener, not many more plans for it, kinda love it as is.

The front can go lower as is just trying too be a little more reasonable than the last one. This is its parts donor.

Thank you. I swear pictures make the wheels look much bigger, been comparing the pictures and the real thing trying too work out where the extra tyre has come from.

I'm not really a fan of the micra but yours really looks nice. That's what I love about this forum, someone can take a car that you really do not like and make you want it.

Ordered some more bits too make it lower and have a silly tiny steering wheel too go on. polo 6n coiloivers on ebay are very easy to fit! front need a little bit of a redrill and some bits turning to fit into the top caps, but I'm running mine as it is and its fine. on the back just cut the eyelets off, take 10mm off them so 5mm a side, and weld them back on so they sit flush with one edge of the tube if that makes sense? this allows them to mount at a slight angle which gives clearance for the springs to sit inside the turret
