Jersey Figaro Rally 2018 Sells Out in Days!

It seems we hit a sweet spot with Jersey. We were literally gobsmacked that our rally sold out within a week of launch. In fact, 40 cars had booked up within 24 hours which is a club record. Due to restricted parking we had to cut-off the registration at 62 cars. Thanks again to everyone who booked. All we now need to do now is knuckle down over the winter to create one awesome rally. No pressure!

Instrument LED Bulbs Upgrade Video 

It's coming soon we promise! Since posting the amazing difference LED's made to our Figaro 'Belle' we have been inundated by owners wanting to know how to do it and where to buy the LED's from?  The reason for the delay is that we have tested 3 bulb types for good measure. Watch this space...

Technical Video Tutorials

Nissan Figaro Door Handle   
Re-chroming and Fitting Video

For those owners looking to create a Category I or 2 status for their Nissan Figaro, then the re-chroming of the chrome parts is a requirement. This video takes you through how to remove the handles, prepare them to be re-chromed and re-installed. Once removed you can send off your handles for re-chroming, or if you want to keep your car on the road 'The Figaro Shop' offer a 'rotation service'. This allows you to order new handles and remove and return yours. Also helpful if you need to gain access to the lock, speakers or window motor. Ideal video for owners trying to achieve that 'showroom' finish for their Figaro.


Nissan Figaro Rear Light Assembly  
Re-chroming/Upgrade Video

If you take a close look at your rear light surrounds, chances are, the shine may have dulled over time and in some cases pealing of the chrome coating may have occurred. This video takes you through how the lights can be removed, re-chromed and re-installed. Ideal for owners trying to achieve that 'showroom' finish for their Figaro.

About the club

How the club started
My son Daniel had always wanted a Figaro, having seen the car at our local garage when he was just 16. After saving for a number of years (plus a small contribution from his mum and dad) he brought an Emerald Green model in June 2008. 

Following the purchase we scoured the internet for a members club in the hope that we could attend events with other owners, but were amazed that none existed...and so the Figaro Owners Club was born!  We decided to build a website and forum which took 6 months, and on the 1st March 2009 we pressed the 'publish button' and waited to see if anyone wanted to join. Within a week we had 10 members, a month 35 and a year 478 members.

Today the club has around 1,300 members worldwide in countries including New Zealand, Japan, Australia, USA, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden and many more.
We are grateful to you and all our other members for help and encouragement throughout our journey as the club has grown into a passion which has taken over our lives - we FIGure in a good way.  
Warmest Regards
