    Are there differences in the K13 by Country?

    Hi All,
    I have been buying some parts on www.Aliexpress.com and I want to make sure that any of the parts that I am selecting for a K13 2014 Micra will fit my Canadian 2015 MICRA. Has anyone had any experience with this?
    Thanks,
    MicraMan

    There are differences. But it's going to depend on what kinds of parts you're buying.

    EG: engines are different from country to country (not everyone gets the 1.6, and we don't get the 1.2).

    EG: suspension components -- aftica found the coilovers he ordered didn't come with the bracket necessary to connect the Canada-only front sway bar end links (so he had to have a solution custom made).

    On the other hand, another member ordered an under-tonneau tray/organizer from a UK dealership, and it fit just fine.

    What parts are you thinking about?

    Ha ha!

    Another thought: the bodywork is slighty different on the 2014's in other countries to 2015 here, if they're "pre-facelift" K13's (front fascia, headlights, bumper). Also I think the rear bumper may be different on our car vs. the other side of the pond.

    It is cosmetic parts I am after. AliExpress has mirror covers and door handle covers. $20 and $12 respectively. Much less than the dealership. I was also looking at a spoiler from a shop in the UK. Found the link on this forum. I just don't want to be a guinea pig

    Well I hope the door handle and mirror covers will work.
    Thanks for all the info!
