Close Up: Streets Nissan March

.

OK, so I didn’t realize just how many photos that I have to sift through and edit.  I ended up taking close to 20 Gigs this last trip, and I’ve just arrived at my apartment to start sorting them.  I would have had some coverage up sooner, but the last part of my vacation was spent with family.  So while I get some posts of TAS together, I’ll let you munch of this for a little while.  We spotted this March walking back from Autobacs.  It was actually at a Nissan dealership; maybe the owner works there.  It had some tasteful mods, which is fairly common for these kei cars, but since we don’t have these in the states, thought I’d grab some shots.  Click past the break for more.

軽自動車 (Kejidosha), or Kei Cars, are super popular in Japan.  This class of super-mini cars are cheap to buy and own, and get great MPG.  So, naturally, there is a large market for aftermarket parts.  The aero kit on this one fits the little car perfectly.  I like the built in mini-diffuser in the rear bumper.

Nice offset on the 14″ SSR’s.

If anyone has more pictures of these Kei cars, feel free to email or share them.  I love to see what people can do with these little contenders.  Back to work editing now; I should have some pics from Auto Salon up by tomorrow for sure.
