3'' exhaust will be way to big unless you turbo it. No ned to go bigger then 2.5 but i got a 2 1/4 and its great. Good power and not to loud. I would stay well clear of a 3 inch

Pretty sure he's just meaning a 3" tip on the muffler (people in the UK for some reason call it a 'back box' :P). Just for looks i'm guessing, like most things in the UK.. ha-ha!
Really clean though.. I must say I do like the colour. ---dens |

There's something wrong with the 2nd photo, blue up the top in parts and shadowy type things at the bottom... this has to be a photoshop job.

Ah-HA! Got you! It's not the same place... the cars are all in a different order! What we're saying is that we don't believe there's such a thing as sunlight in the UK, it's just months on end of overcast-ness :P

I don't know how to describe my joy for watching this car!it's exactly like my Micra!although mine was the 1.0 challenge edition.It is a sweet isn't it?I miss the way it used to take off,pretty brutal!it could't grb down with 1st and 2nd gear.And the handling....oh priceless feeling!I love your car it is in amazing condition you must love it,otherwise it would't be in such astonishing shape!Great little car you have there.I repeat don't sell it even if you buy a larger car,keep it as a second one if you can afford it.I bought an audi a4 and i regret it so much that i curse myself every single day i sold my frog!Luckily my micra went in good hands!Again you have a very beautiful car,congratulations on the way you maintain it!

Car is looking great, except for maybe the dark tinted headlight lenses. I don't understand that mod, I'd rather be able to drive at night and be able to see well with the aid of my headlights... Plus they stand out like dogs balls, and definitely not in a good way - po-po will always be on you.
