I think on Micras the rear arches need to be higher than you've got them. Where they are makes it look a bit  heavy. |

I think on Micras the rear arches need to be higher than you've got them. Where they are makes it look a bit  heavy. If I had them any higher, I'd have to cut more out the metal, but if I did that I'd have a hole in the rear quarters, and as I don't have or know how to use a welder this will do  Looks better in wheel life, the arches where fitted to the same height as the original lip of the metal arch, and follow the lines of the car quite well, but pics don't do it justice |

Perhaps change it a brighter shade of white? Or perhaps a pearl white?

i like the look of it mate, low and wide. good contrast from the white car on the black arches i think. looks cool.

Looking really sweet although I reckon it'd look a lot better if you paint the front wing area between the arches and the bumper with some black (the white bit of the wing showing there is very distracting). The smae behind the rear arches too... I also agree with Matt that the rear arches would look better higher up, but understand the problems involved in doing that if you don't have access to a welder. Great looking car |

Had to trim another inch off the arch as it still scrubbed the tyres, so took inch from the outer arch then folded the inner arch over the outer, hammered the **** out off it, will have tO stay like this till I find someone with a welder,   Plenty off room now to bounce around |
