Where to buy - Body Kits??

Tue 20 Feb 2007 10:21:54 PM
Before i start talking about stuff I have no idea about....I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to cars.

I've got a 1997 Blue Micra SLX 4 door Auto, have had it since 2000.
Done 2x fuel pumps @ $500 & $800(one last Sunday....), 2x CV Joints/Drive Shafts replaced @ $950, some Brake release or something in the front end... @ $1100 and of course the general servicing every 10,000 KMs or so.

I love my Micra. I had Air Con put in, added a CD/MP3 Player and a GPS. I want to keep this car.

I plan to have the windows tinted, purchase mag wheels and thought, what about a body kit...i wonder if they exist for Micra's....

Thus, I googled and found this awesome site.

Now to the questions:

What kits are available to purchase, where can I buy them and is fitting crazy hard or is there someone that does that too??

I'm sure these are simple questions, but if i don't ask, then i don't know.

Hi baikes, micra body kits are extremely rare. The following are probably your options ;

A site member had one for sale recently... not sure if he sold it ?.
http://www.micra.com.au/community/message.php?messageid=23390

You can source a kit from overseas but involves significant expense... Check out.
http://www.japanparts.com/

You can buy a car with one already fitted... this one might still be for sale ?. I believe this one was fully custom made.

You can have a kit intended for another similar sized car modified to fit (seems to be the most common approach).

The following company used to sell a kit for the micra, but it's no longer listes on their website.

Hope this helps...
