Re: exy "must have" accessories or mod's?
Gday Mike,
as you say you dont intend on doing a lot of off-roadin, I would suggest, in no particular order....
Some good quality seat covers, front and rear.
A cargo net, as opposed to a cargo barrier, as it is easier to install and remove as required.
A dash mat, saves a lot of heat being reflected into the cab.
A front windscreen sun block (you know, those silver foil collpsible things for when the cars in the sun)
A good window tint, if it hasnt been done.
The "key in ignition chime" mod. That is one annoying sound. guide
Personal choice...but a stereo head unit with blue tooth to replace the stock system. Or go the whole way, and get a DVD/TV/Reverse camera set up.
If all your recalls are done, and the vehicle has had a good quality inspection, you should be right. The above "mods" will let you drive in comfort, and also protect the car.
Cheers

Re: exy "must have" accessories or mod's?
Hi Mike (wizard14),
The answer to your question really depends on your personal taste and what you're planning to use your xtrail for. There are practical mods ad there are cosmetic ones to enhance the xtrail in the looks departments and our forum covered nearly every aspect of these modifications, some of which are available through our Online Shop and some others been discussed extensively here on the forum and displayed in the Members Rides section for you to explore.
I suggest you do some searching on the forum and visit the members rides section to make-up a list of what you feel would suit your needs and taste better.
This thread can only cover so much of what we all think you should do, but the end call is yours to make as it is your taste and your car.

Re: exy "must have" accessories or mod's?
i think the exy is "perfect just the way it is" although definitely the one thing that annoys me is that I cant plug in my ipod - Alan im waiting for your review so I can make my final decision (sorry Jalal I know thats of topic )
Actually thinking about it, I think the best mod on mine that I have added has to be the glovebox light

No shares in the on line store but own a business featured in the discount section. Its just that when I first looked at the online store I figured I could spend a whole lot of money there and save a heap at the same time. Getting managment approval is another thing seeing that it is "the boss's car"
