Hi guys

Had my SX two weeks now and I believe in only modding a mint standard car so I have a few little niggling things to do which I hope you can help with. Here is the list I plan to work on come pay day

Car park dents - I know a mobile guy local which I have used before so no worries here

New number plates - Not a problem

Clear indicators - Where does everyone get them from!? I have checked Apex and MSW but cant find them!? I dont use ebay BTW so please dont suggest it

Arial - Is this thing supposed to be electric? If so mine doesnt move, think its snapped in the middle. Is it easy to replace myself? I dont mind a bit of DIY

Gear gaitor - The leather has come away from the plastic, its simple to unclip the plastic surround but I dont understand how the leather stays on the plastic I think its all snapped away. Any idea of where to source a replacement?

Gear Knob - How the hell does this thing come off!? Its the most ugliest gear knob evAr!! Any recomendations? I kind of like the leather Nismo one but looks like it might fall to bits after 5 seconds

Think thats it :)

Thanks in advance! :thumbs:

I used Hona CRX clear front indicator units but i did get them from ebay.

as for getting the gear knob off, good luck as mine was a biatch to remove.

what model car? if it is s13 check for posts by Ramps as he knows of two sets of clear indicators that fit easily available from breakers or nissan

electric ariel is a common fault shouldn't be too major to change if you can find one

Apex sell them at about £65 + postage, or they can be had from your local Nissan dealer for the same kind of money. :thumbs:

It unscrews, anti clockwise. If its never been removed before it'll be very tight, but brute force and ignorance will see it off. :thumbs:
