Right, Been a silent member of this forum for at least a couple of years now and back in 2010 I posted a pic of my first car... A compeltely standard clean and tidy Micra with 47k on the clock. With high hopes but no money I drove her around and gradually made changes over time. After getting a new job and being able to spend my money on more interesting things, I decided I would make her a little nicer. Here are some pictures from day one to how she stands now. Hopefully you will enjoy.  Just before I picked her up.  First things first: remove bump strips, remove hub caps, re-spray the steelies, remove stickers.   Add stickers (later to be removed) and moon discs!  Add coilovers... ....the proper way      Blow-out on the way to London, new wheels and tyres then...  Keep it J     Full stainless de-cat, was actually the first major change to take place.  Just for fun... Tom |

Don't see these around much. Really liking it at the moment! Were the moon discs actual wheels or just hubcap style things? Never seen anything like them before.

fantastic!!!!!!!!!! you've got the stance nailed better than any k10 i've seen so far and there's some great k10s out there too. out of interest what coilovers have you used? most people seem to be using polo coilies and moving the bottom bush over on the rears, something i'm not happy to do on mine. in your pics i can't see any mods to yours so thought you might of used something else.
p.s. got anymore pics ;D

Thanks all!
The moon discs where stainless steel hub caps
Cheers Tumult, they are Mk3 Golf/6n Polo coilovers. The fitting involved re-fabricating the rear mounts which seems to be the safest, most sturdy way. Also, no MOT issues. She only failed on a couple of bulbs today! Only sad thing is I have manged to bump the mileage up over 20k in less than 2 years!

That looks damn cool on the new wheels. Top stuff! Are they Corsa coilovers?

thanks for the info. i was planning to remake the bottom mounts on the axle too, yours have been done so well that i couldn't see what you'd done in the pics. i'm also thinking of using mk1 golf top mounts on the front as they look a lot stronger than the tiny little micra ones.

Cheers Speedle, tuning is definitely next on the agenda. Could be pretty nippy
Top mounts do look a little un-safe but I have pushed it around the corners and nothing gives.
