    Yeah mine is the acenta got the auto lights, wipers, led lights, touch screen and all that. Just lacking a bit more power the little supercharged engine ain't bad at all but could do a lot more with the 1.6. Can't even get anyone to re-map mine, no one can do the Hitachi Ecu. You can pick up the Nissan connect touch screens on eBay over here for not a fortune I've seen them go for as little as £150.

    Already tried the part numbers at two dealers over here both say they can't order parts from outside of the EU (or won't more like)

    Love those rims. You even got those cool little side signal lights.

    Repeaters. So that is what they are called there. That made my eBay search work much better this time.
    You changed yours to a smoked version. They just snap in or do they bolt on in some way? If I had a way to do it I would add smoked ones to my car just to give it even more "European styling." The Yaris in Europe have them too.

    They just snap in, you could do it quite easily guess you would have to cut holes in your wings (fenders do you call them) but it's just a little rectangular hole with a tab at each end for the little sprung part that holds it in. Then it's just a matter of wiring up some 501 holders into your indicators. Never know the wiring and bulb holder might already be there, see that quite often on cars must save them having to make different wiring looms for everywhere. I got my smoked ones from an eBay seller called blinkerhaus-ltd. If you want to fit some and can't find any over there you can have my standard ones for cost of postage.

    I'm surprised there's not a lot of action with the K13 in the UK. Before starting up this forum, I looked around and there was an impressively large UK Micra site. Just not into the current model? I suppose the older generations have much more aftermarket support.

    Any idea when you guys will be getting the redesigned K14 Micra? I think it looks fantastic. But I don't think it'll be coming here in the near future.

    Yeah that would probably be MSC - micra sport club. Other than a few most people on there have nothing good to say about the k13? Don't know why? Maybe because it's built in India and was designed as a cheap car? Who knows? And yes there is very very little available on the aftermarket. It is starting to improve slightly though I've found a UK supplier of Ultra racing & Cusco braces etc. Just read in a magazine that the new micra should be with us in 2017 now, I think it was supposed to be this year at one point.

    Johnuk your rims are exactly what I have been looking for. What brand are they? Lots of black rims available but few with the silver/stainless ring on them.
