    lip kit and racing disk hupcaps on Micra S

    Here is an All-Fit Mid Lip kit on a Micra S. I've been able to install the other accessories I got (hood protector, window deflectors, bumper protector, chrome exhaust tip) but I couldn't install the lip kit and went to a shop. Minnie is also wearing racing disc hubcaps from Hubcap Mike. She is looking pretty good, but I'd sure like to see her with some fog lights.

    You know, those racing disc caps save a little bit of fuel eh?

    Do the brakes not got super hot with the discs on? I would be rigging up some ducting at the front. Looks good though!

    Love the lip, is that a universal kit or made for the micra?

    This car takes on such a different appearance when it is photographed. The front shot is great.

    Loving the discs!

    I wouldn't worry about the brakes getting too hot unless you're racing the car (literally -- lapping a road course) or riding the brakes all the way down a mountain. The wheel is open on the inside. I've run 100% discs on all my cars for years with no problems (flatlander in Ontario though).

    I made a photoshop of another member's car with discs a while back:

    Just wondering because I know a guy who was running smoothies ( solid steel) on a caddy van and he was having brake overheating problems, so just figured the discs may do the same?

    Glad to see another Micra with a deflector, and it looks great against the red paint. I'm going to install mine today. The lip kit is something I'm looking to get done, to cover the seam. Looks great with all the add ons!

    The mid lip looks great, i wanted to do the mid lip when i originally did my traditional lip, but i was not sure if it would look good. makes me want to take mine off and do the mid lip now.
