If you could work across any of the years, trim levels, motors, and options packages for the first generation Versa, what are the standout OEM things you'd pick to have on your car?

Would it be a 2010 front grill? Tiida headlights? S model window trim and door handles? Four-wheel disc brakes? Sport bumpers?

There are a lot of awesome configurations all over the world without even getting into aftermarket parts, plus it's probably a little easier on the wallet than an entire Impul kit or a full Tiida swap.

I'll probably be building my wish list from this thread...

:biggrin:

there are some pretty cool bits in the Japanese NISMO catalog... In Japan, they make NISMO versions of lots of cars we don't get the treatment for (Leaf, Micra, Tiida, etc.)

If I were to do another Versa, I would duplicate Project: MEEP again minus the splitter in the front. It was cool to have, but limited some things because it would hit on everything. Having the Bi-Xenon Tiida headlamps was the best thing I did, and I miss those lamps dearly. They were awesome.

I know I've seen many of the photos and videos, but do you have a rundown somewhere of all the things you added?

I think the immediate things on my list are a 2010 grill (maybe with the chrome surround painted to match the body color), an OEM spoiler, and some sort of custom front lip from another vehicle. When I'm ready to spend some big money, it'd be the obligatory drop (maybe Tein springs) and some upgraded wheels, likely 16s to keep things reasonable.
