Thread: The New Hotness :: 2015 Nissan Micra SR (Garage entry)

  1. General Information
    The New Hotness
    2015
    Nissan
    Micra SR
    Red Alert A20
    Manual

    Fresh from the dealership
    No mods yet but will come soon...

    Stay Tuned!

    Modifications

    I ordered the antenna from Aliexpress.

    Even though I ordered a red one I still decided to paint them so the color match was more accurate.
    I think it turned out ok.

    Installed a block heater extension cord under the front bumper

    I ordered these from Aliexpress.

    I had to paint the insides of the knobs a translucent orange so when they lit up they matched the other lights on the dash.

    I'm considering trying out these LED Mirror turn signals but probably not until the summer.

    I think I want to invest in some WeatherTech mats soon too.

    I decided to put my shark fin antenna on today. Even though I bought it in red I decided to paint it. I had a paint supply store mix up a spray can of A20 red and it took me a couple of tries to get it as smooth as possible. There's only a bit of orange peel in a few spots but I think it turned out ok.

    I'm tempted to paint my mirrors and spoiler next.

    A quick test shows reception on the radio is pretty much the same.

    Nice now I'm not the only shark car. Can't wait to see your mirror covers though.

    I know winter is still several months away but I finally decided to install my block heater extension cord.
    Rerouting the stock cord was a bit of a pain but now I can plug in an extension cord to the block heater without opening the hood.
    I think I bought this off of ebay I can't remember. Noco is the brand.

    That's a great little modification. Better doing it now than at -10!

    Mind if I copy it to a dedicated thread to get more eyeballs on it?
