    You could be right, so far I've only found lamp upgrades for the older model K13.

    Reminds me of a guy who called himself "Gizmo" who had a K10 Euro-spec Micra with the European style plastic headlights (we were still using the old fashioned glass halogen lamps). He did a similar mod to give it "Eyelids" which dramatically changed the look. Too bad the Wayback machine didn't capture images, but if you'd like to read something I submitted to him way back then, check this out:

    I forgot that my ISP was Internet Direct, but that makes sense because they were owned by Look, who was my satellite TV provider back then. Wow, that takes me back, and way off topic.

    Back to the sway: The Micra needs to maintain a friendly look. That's always been the image of the Micra. Make it fast, make it fun, but keep it smiling.

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    im ok with the headlights bu.t...those tail lights give me strong i8 vibes. and thats not a compliment.

    and the name sway is just....too hip hop. trying too hard to appeal to teens, if that makes sense.

    The Sway is all about possible design elements for future cars to come. A new Micra will never look this radical but it will show elements of the Sway.
    Sales figures of the current Micra aren't all that high in Europe, so something has to be done to boost sales.

    1997- 147.196
    1998 - 151.262
    1999 - 144.233
    2000 - 129.400
    2001 - 114.472
    2002 - 106.476
    2003 - 171.453
    2004 - 164.295
    2005 - 153.424
    2006 - 124.003
    2007 - 82.213
    2008 - 78.827
    2009 - 83.371
    2010 - 70.857
    2011 - 75.699
    2012 - 58.293
    2013 - 48.088
    2014 - 60.318

    UPDATE: here's the entire thing:






    And some vids:






    The radical-looking hatchback provides a glimpse at the next-generation of Nissan Micra, which will probably share its underpinnings with the current Renault Clio. Nissan says the Sway will shake up a “conservative sector of the market” with its wide stance and swooping lines. It’s certainly a far cry from the drab and unimpressive Micra on sale today.
