I have a similar problem driving at night !!!!

When we ordered our J11B we ordered the Illuminated Kick Plates, on the J11A this included Rear Door Kick Plates but for the new model the Kit is just for the front. I just questioned this and was told this was a Nissan Spec Change, but our Dealer ordered a new set of Kick Plates and they donated and installation the Rear Plates in our QQ FOC - Dave

Just had the Winter Giacuzzo / Falken 17” Alloys changed to the original Summer Nissan Wind 19” Alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Tyres. I had the original Dunlop Tyres / Wheels swapped over to the Michelin’s because in my opinion they appeared to be much more safer against “Kerbing”. I run a check with a Straight Edge today and actually measured from Alloy Rim to Tyre 1cm (0.393”) marked in red, which is pleasing.
I had the Nissan Yellow Centre Caps from Dec and installed these along with Chrome Wheel Nut Caps (anybody found one for the Security Bolt ?) and Alloy Metallic Grey Valve Caps (with grease) - Dave

Here is a pic of the QQ taken this week in clean condition, it is now covered in that Yellow Tree Dust from the Nature - Dave

Looking good, Dave...the yellow accents of the calipers and center caps works really well against the lovely grey metallic paint

Looking good Dave
Happy Easter to you and the family!

I have just finished the installation of the Chrome Exhaust Tip : Today I thought I would fit some New Bosch AeroTwin Wiper Blades Front & Back after a Clean of the Windows with Rain-X. The Nissan Blades were only 6 months old but giving that smearing effect.
I installed the same Bosch Blades as we had on the QQ J11A as I have 2x Spare Sets with the longer Passenger Side Blade for more Screen Wipe. It is now much easier to install on the QQ J11B as there is no need to use the “Service Position” - Job done in 5 mins. I used the Bosch AeroTwin AR652S Front 650mm (26”) & 450mm (18”) / H301 (300mm) Rear - Dave

This information is from an Old Post :

Just got back from our Nissan Dealer after having our 1st Years QQ Service done. As agreed with our Dealer before No Oil / Filter change was done as we always change ours early at around the 1000 Km mark and therefore after driving for only 3000 Kms it was not thought necessary. I insisted on having the New Internal Aktivkohle Pollen Filter Installed. I thought the Cost was reasonable inc. an Autowash.
When I ordered the QQ new I questioned which Battery would be Installed and was told the Varta. This might interest some, highly likely Colin because today a Battery Check was carried out which I have never had before. See attached the “Bill” & Battery Check Data - Dave

Activated carbon (Aktivkohle) : Description : Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions.

Back to Summer look on Friday the Giacuzzo Winter Alloys OFF and the Nissan WIND Alloys back ON for the Summer. I gave the QQ a (Spit & Polish) also and then noticed the Door Warning Lights were not all working. So down to Lidl for 6x CR2032 Batteries €1,59 and then all back to normal. I had these Lights on the previous QQ and after several years of use they still all function. For such a small Outlay of €11 they were a bargain as here in Berlin it is a Bikers Paradise (I even bought one) - Dave

Dave, I got this set of wheel nut covers which include for the lock nut. Might need a slot hack-sawed partly down the side if too tight though.
