Yikes, I'm assuming you aren't going to purchase a 370!

Electrics & Audio...

Electrically retracting wing mirrors, like the 350Z has already.
Indicators in the wing mirrors.
More stylish/sporty, maybe smaller wing mirrors. The current ones are too chunky still.
LEDs in the headlights.
USB port, for all the music on my memory sticks.
A 'dipped beam' indicator light in the instrument cluster, as well as the 'full beam' indicator light. I'm right in thinking the 370z doesn't have this, aren't I?
A less bright blue 'full beam' indicator light. I hear it's too strong a light.

Interior...

Guages more similar to 350z please - (if it ain't broke, don't mess it up).
350z-style gear knob - it was better.

Engine & mechanicals...

350bhp (partly by losing weight?).
Brembo badge on the brake calipers, just because I prefer it to the word 'Nissan'.
A lot more torque AND longer first & second gears.
Quality exhaust system.
Some chips and very long bolts.
Adjustable suspension.

Bodywork...

Wheel arches that are slightly more snug for a 19" wheel.
Slightly lower ride height (-1"?).
Even wider wheel arches, especially the rear - which probably means making the trunk area more narrow, rather than widening the actual arch.
Lose the fridge door handles, leaving hardly anything - maybe just a button and a lock.
No lumps & bumps in the front & rear lamps.
'Z' badges front & rear, instead of the Nissan burgers - they will never do this, of course.
More attention to the side skirt area.
Headlamp washers (EU) that don't spray your nice clean bodywork.
A more aggressive-looking front view.
Redesign of that over-large rear number plate recess - it's my least favourite part of the entire body of the car.
Make the front windscreen slope a little more (ie, less vertical, more sleek).
Hydraulic struts to lift & support the bonnet (hood).

...and a few thousand £/$ off the price

Well, you asked, didn't you? Maybe Nissan will take this list and make my mini-dreams come true with a facelift model soon

I never said that! Still undecided - the urge may get too strong.

Individual TPMS.
Fix the supposed oil temp problems (havent seen it myself).
Replace fuel and water temp with traditional gauges.
Direct Injection.

Thats it. This car is pretty solid already. Like this dude--->
