Hi,
After thinking, i chose the NISSAN MICRA (FUJIMI) M13 Tommy KAIRA....
Wheels are 13".... very small.... I will change with some 17''....

First pic: The model on the box.....


The body on the 13" from the box...:cry:


I want to add a body kit on side of the car... I found some parts of a GOLF GTI MK1...


The tires are more high so i prefer to adopt an other kind of tire....


Two kind of whells of 17"...... with the body kit... (a lot of work to adapt clearly the new project....)
I think that i use the second choice.......:licker: :licker:

The other kind:


Hope that you you like the new lines of tis car......

Thanks for messages.....

speaking in designer words(yes, I could be a professional auto desiner if I wanted to, I wish I had a scanner to post my stuff in the graphics forum)

anyways, that car has very un-even lines, the headlights is rather bulky and flows into a ridiculous black hole. they hole car is very smooth yet the overall shape is very bulk. I LIKE IT

anyways, I like the second wheels, I like the body kit idea also. Very nice, what color will it be? also, how about leaving the body kit black agisnt whatever color you paint the body. maybe you could paint anything lower than the end of the body kit black.

...i'm ashamed to say i own a Nissan....that thing is butt ugly !!
Thank god you are adding some 17's and a body kit......but knowing you, you will build a really great looking model and prove me wrong on how ugly it looks
I look forward to seeing your updates etc

if you leave the bodykit black, won't it give the illusion of the car being higher?

Hi,
thanks to your messages and this is the update for the NISSAN MICRA......

I made two holes on the hood and later i will place some grilles.
I think that the hood will be paint in dark black.


I made also a hole in the rear bumper and i opened the hole of the muffler... I will add a big muffler......


The new pipe.......


I cuted the wheel rim because the tire that i needed was the less wide.


I cuted also the 4 suspensions to lowered the frame...


The body in preparation.... I masked the number plate and will be sand tomorrow.....


The hood and the wing will be paint in dark black and the rest of the car in grey metaliser....

Thanks to your answers.......
