Has anyone modified their Leaf?

I'm not talking about just upgrading bulbs to LED, but I've not really seen anyone in the uk that has really modified one? This one in Japan caught my eye with the official Nissan Aero bodykit:



Juke alloys look nice on the Leaf too:



Has anyone else got a unique Leaf?

FWIW I don't think that body kit is the Aero kit, this is the Aero kit:

And this is the Nismo kit:

Both look great but the Aero looks a tad better, would be great if the 30kW model had that kit. I'm guessing that as most Leaf's are on PCP or other Lease then mods will be a rarity for a while yet. Once they become more common in the secondhand market then we may see a few more.

At the moment mine is modified with God knows how much mud up the sides and in the wheel arches, that's got to be doing something to the aerodynamics right?

As the LEAF is supposed to be environmentally friendly I could probably argue that I've modified mine into a pheasant taxi too...

Yeah I have put Juke alloys on my LEAF. Looks alot better than the Acenta alloys.

The original Acenta alloys are back on and will be selling the Juke alloys when I get around to it...
That's one of the other pictures I found to show the wife how good these alloys look on the leaf. They totally suit it!

Didn't know you could put Juke alloys on, they look really good @Dean Hamer

I like the Nismo kit, wish there were a few more options in the UK but I guess it may change when the 2017 model comes out.

Yeah they have the same PCD pattern etc. Offset is about 5mm difference IIRC but the tyre guy checked the alloys out at full lock etc said there was plenty of clearance. A lot of guys in the USA have put the juke alloys in their LEAFs. Does look a lot better.

One guy did this with his Tesla the other day, only had it a week - only there was no visible part of the pheasant left in the grill because i think he was doing mway speeds when he hit it.
