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
