Looking at doing a mild custom on a Micra, the jelly mold version. Looking for ideas but thinking slammed and wide wheels.
So pictures needed!

I have one as my daily driver, if I was going to spend any money on it besides what it needs for maintenance, it would be this:  Because seriously, it's so bland, cheap and boring, it's pointless spending money modifying it. |

On the otherhand, ive got one as a daily and it cheap and reliable. Very reliable. Id second the Mark bognor route, They have alot of potential.

Just make sure you start with a 1.3, even my mum said her 1.0 was under powered & she's 65 lol. Mark Bognor's is a good example of what you can do though, they can look great! I had a 1.0 & put 18k on my mums 1.0, soo slow, although I did mange to explode the clutch on mine demonstrating just how slow it was to my mate lol     |

 If I had a K11 i'd make it like that and win at life (well it'd have to have something hotter under the bonnet as well  ) |

That purple one was our friend Luke's car. Simple mods on a simple car. It worked so well.  |

it's so bland, cheap and boring, it's pointless spending money modifying it. ...do you realise what forum you're on..? As for inspiration - don't just look at Micras; the world is your oyster. *n |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

But if you need other people to do the "inspiration" work for you don't bother!!!! |

Since when did 2003 become retro? Of course i'm not going to bother, there is absolutely nothing you can do to it to make it cool, it's still a Micra.
I guess I could jump it into a lake, that might be cool. Waters pretty cold up here. Hm.

Awesome pictures guys, you've made my mind up, a Micra it is.
As for the power or lack of, I was rolling around in a slammed 1982 Polo Derby 1.3 last summer!!
And as for a bland car turned into something cool, I'm currently driving a slammed MK3 Golf estate, all I do is change wheels like the wife changes her shoes.

the 2003 I thought was quite interesting on launch with it's semi retro styling. I think the Micra name really is the kiss of death. Maybe if they'd called it something else...
