New Car - Qashqai "Black Edition"
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2016 5:35 pm
Hello all. First post here so be gentle
I've been running around in the Mini Cooper SD for the last year and as much as I love it, my photography has really taken off and I needed something more fit for purpose!

I needed something economical, comfy and as I love my gadgets it needed to be fully loaded with extras!
I started looking at SUV's and kept coming back to the new Nissan Qashqai.
After a test drive at a local dealer I saw a nice Tekna model with only 4k miles on autotrader and headed across the country to Motherwell to pick it up....

I then got my 5 digit plates on and took one of the badges off the rear...

I was concerned about the lack of power from the 1.5 but the fuel economy (and £30 tax) is perfect for me...

I have taken the front chrome V off the grill and plan to get that gloss black...

I also got my Team Heko wind deflectors today and put them on....

I have also bought front and rear skid plates that I am going to get painted in gloss black at the same time as the V grill...

And that's it really. Can't wait to get the gloss black parts on.
Future plans will be running boards, gloss black wheels and black or red calipers.
Really enjoying the higher seating position and the self parking is pretty impressive!
Oh and also need to upgrade the horn as it is awful!
