    Hello Canada

    Hi new here I'm John from Halifax (England) you guys seem to have a lot more going on with the k13 than we do over here so thought I would take a look. What I have seen is you guys have side skirts for the facelift k13 think you call it the SR trim? We can't get these. I want some badly do they ever come up on Canadian eBay or anywhere?
    Cheers
    John

    And this is my micra, little different now though I added the black-purple mirror covers and door strips.

    Wow, this is a really nice car. Those rims are perfect! Is this a Nismo grill badge up front?

    cheers guys! I still have a little too much arch gap for my taste but don't wanna go any lower when on 15's, not the best roads here in Yorkshire. Yeah its a little cheapo Nismo badge on the grille just brightens up the front end a bit. I really wanted a Nismo micra but they wont bring them over here.

    The only engine available on the Canadian market is the 1.6L HR16DE (109HP). This is for every trim (S, SV, and SR).

    Your grill badge is something like this? Not bad! http://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/3D-Car-F...ZTIoGX&vxp=mtr

    Aye, while that is true, you guys have some options on your micras that we cant have. For example you guys can get:

    TouchScreen Satnav
    Tire pressure monitoring
    3rd rear seat headrest
    LED tail lamps
    Rain sensing wipers
    Rear parking sensors
    Electric folding mirrors
    Automatic climate control
    Glass roof
    Intillegent key
    auto headlights

    Of course this is without saying the top of line Micra in uk, the techna, but just having those bits available to us would be nice. And sure the 1.2 is only 59kW our 1.6 is 81kw, so its a good shot in the arm. And we have block heaters, sway bars, and some other bits. I could see a lovely little parts market emerging, us stealing spares from you guys..

    I think too.. Depending on the exchange you guys pay a higher price for your base model then us.. Your Micra Manual base models are about 8000 pounds, where out base model is around 5300 pounds to buy.

    Ironic tho, we havent wrote off enough of these SR's to have them on ebay, but a fella here did order a set from nissan;

    http://micra-forum.com/showthread.ph...e-skirts/page2

    So those part numbers should work for you thought the dealer..
