There's a lot you can do with a Micra in terms of handling but it's a question of budget really.
Most people are quite happy with lowering springs and 15" alloys. Matt Humphris has a good range of springs in at the moment both in 35mm and 50mm lowering options. He also has some good options on suspension kits which include dampers also, which make the whole package work much better and is very good with advice on setups with respect to budget etc.
Having built a car up from completely standard to a state where almost everything is uprated I would recommend alloys, springs & dampers to start and see how you feel. If you know of anyone with a Micra which has already been tweaked, ask for a cheeky ride and see what you think.
There are lots of options but it's money, money, money
If you want to know more just holla, there are lots of options depending on budget, however with a 1.0 it's probably not worth going to the extremes of say how I set my car up but we're all different
