That's a "little" meet?

[Johnuk]

Well it was a good turn out! There is bigger ones in places but that's the best one

[Johnuk]

Well a big heavy box arrived this morning! Hope to fit them this week!

[Wynter]

Nice to see it was packed to avoid damage, now the work begins! So these will make your car feel like a tank trunk? They look like super heavy duty shocks.

[Johnuk]

They would be great if only they would fit! Looks like they are gonna have to be sent back. There is no mounting point for the ARB links on the front. I'm totally gutted
Edit looks like I'm gonna have to remove the ARB

[Wynter]

very disappointing!

[Johnuk]

Yep cost me 630 pounds from a supplier in England but yet they are not correct for the UK market cars! Doesn't look to be any other options? If I want coilovers all the brands seem to have this issue. Ah well if I lose the ARB I'll loose a bit weight at least haha. Makes it quite a big job aswell if I remove the ARB, well if I want to remove it in one piece anyway.

[Johnuk]

Spot the difference lol!

Great news this morning! Had a phone call from BC UK to say they have been in touch with the factory and yes they are the correct kit it's just the lack if Arb on the Asian market cars that has caused the issue. But they have found another pair of front cups for another Nissan model that has the tabs for the links and are the same fitment as the Micra! And they will rush them to me by Tuesday. RESULT!
I'm very impressed by BCs customer service on this can't fault them! Happy happy boy! Lol

I was showing my dad your photo's and he said at first, why is the master cylinder on the left! He was impressed with the cover over the cylinder! Great idea he said, as you don't want brake fluid on anything in there. He enjoyed seeing a 1.2 litre engine!
