After an unfortunate accident where my 11 year old fiesta was written off, I've decided to go a little bigger with the qashqai.

I've ordered some scuff plates and a boot lip protector so far after reading through these forums. Are there any other worthwhile upgrades I can do?

I've been eyeing up an Android head unit after reading the big thread on here as it looks to be fairly straightforward to install.

welcome to the forums.
i went and got the sill scuff plates end of last yr for mine, but will fix them on when the weather warms up so they stick better.
i also got a twin usb ports to go onto back of centre console, well worth £30 for 2 extra charge points easy to install to 25mins ;-)

Welcome to this forum

I got cheap stainless steel scuff plates for mine - worked fine.

I always have a boot tray in my cars to protect the carpet.

I replaced the horn.

I fitted a lower radiator grille.

Decent mats.

Not much else that I can remember.

Welcome to the Forum ! It is worthwhile taking a look through the “Search” Area if you have time as there are loads of facts there from the last almost 6 years.- Dave 🙄
If you still have time this is what we had on our 2014 QQ Tekna (data is from 2015) :

Welcome to the World of Qashqai..
I also have a 2018 N-Connecta it's a 1.5 dci , first thing you need is a Space-saver spare wheel. JMO-of-course. That was my first priority.

Hoooly cow that's a lot of modifications. Is there a legend to show what's what?

Do I need a new holder to hold the wheel instead of what's in there now? What size is your space saver?

Was the grille hard to fit?

Please before this post starts going over the same information Again on Spare Wheels please take some time in the “Search” Area looking for the details, this does prevent repeats ! Attached is a recent long example of the facts - hope it helps Dave 😊
