K&N panel filter? ..perhaps 
I have no clue when it comes to mods but I'm sure most of the more active modding members would suggest Lows and nice wheels
are you wanting to change anything exterior wise? de-badge?... new sills, bumpers, spoiler? or keep her as she is? and concentrate on performance parts?
you can get body kits. There's one on ebay from Poland which is...interesting...I suppose...not to my taste, but interesting
of course, if yours doesn't have them, the standard extra's for the Sport/SR/Tekna models from Nissan (or a scrapyard) are...well I like 'em (I've got a Sport+)

There are some that don't have the holes but i'm not sure which one's it is I think it may just be the very early ones (52 and 03 reg sort of age)
you can see, when you open up the bonnet, if it will leave holes. They're about 5mm each, one under the first N and the other under the last

Yes the K12 still takes the 4x100 wheels but still be careful with bore diameter and offset for fitting them (K11 standards will not fit a K12)
Unless you upgrade the suspension it's not advised (by nissan) to fit wheels larger than 15"
...but i don't know if it's advice worth ignoring a bit as i've seen 17" on an otherwise seemingly stock car LOL
I love my standard 16" Sport alloys (I have slightly stiffer susspension) but must add that I think Nissan Note wheels should fit the K12 too, and they had some interesting styles...I wouldn't mind a set like these on my baby...

although...not at that price <_<
ETA: Ignore what I said, you have spacers

Urmmmm...No idea LOL
I only know that my mums ordinary suspension (1.4 SVE) feels pretty soggy to me...spongy if you like
Mine (1.5 dci Sport+) feels much tighter and firmer, with less body roll on the bends
My suspension can be a bit harsh on speed bumps and mums keeps bouncing for a bit after a one LOL
might be worth getting front springs off an SR model
