I'm new here, and I've just bought myself a 98 micra envy for when I pass my test, is there anything you guys would suggest to do to it to upgrade its looks

If it's just looks you're going for, there are plenty of simple things you can do...painting bumpers/grilles, door handles, removing bump-strips, tinting headlights, tinting windows, changing/painting wheels, re-covering door cards and painting interior plastics.....loooooooads!.....have a look around on here and see what you like.....then do whatever!
colour coding is a good start and take the bumpstrips off, get rid of all that horrible plastic trim nissan thought would be a good idea

Thanks if I was to take off the plastic trim on the doors and stuff would I need to take off any adhesive? If so what would be the best way?
Heat gun or hairdryer to make it soft, then use a cloth over your fingers to rub it off, then use some petrol or degreaser to get any remains off.
Takes a while but it's worth it

Paint should be fine as long as you don't just yank them off, use fishing line to cut through the glue first before you pull them off

Ok thanks I'll try that anyway. Btw can you change the gear shifter length?
Can cut it shorter with a hacksaw or lengthen it by fitting some long object
