Headlights,grill, and possibly bonnet off the top of my head
 
Robgrav, Where about are you ? Im in Redcar , I have my 2013 front end stripped at the moment, can send you patterns of wings, lights etc,
I could do with knowing about the bumper swap as I will be fitting a winch bumper and need to cut a plastic bumper , the early ones have a line across them .
P.S. On The chassis leg end`s that hold the bumper iron. captive nuts are staggered
, lower nut is central to the leg , upper is on a lug above and to outside of leg ..
Think older D40 one nut is above the other.. ?
Or thinking about it there is a older D40 in the yard , Ill try check the differences out Tuesday
 
Looks are a personal thing, Navaras Built by Nissan, perfected by owners... Dont think many on this forum have not carried out a modification and personalized their pickups, All to their own

As for suspicion a few photoes of old parts next to new or keeping old parts and offering to new owner on sale ..should put any prospective new owners mind @ rest, Although id imagine if a front end update was done the owner isnt intending on selling soon?

Im just about to strip an immaculate 2009 one owner 20k miles Range Rover Sport Full dealer serviced no expense spared couldn't get a better example ..and facelift it ,Replacing the bumpers`,headlights,grill Just for the hell of it,
The RR`s bumpers vents and grill first time round at less than 500 miles old Still have the originals,
All my toys are modified within a week or so of owning them,
I tend to find it actual adds personality and value not detracts .
 
Had a quick look yesterday, On the Physical side,
The headlights on newer d40 are longer @ the bottom along the bumper , so looking head on the angle where they and the grill meat is not so steep as the older D40
grill angle obviously same..
Bumper is deeper on newer model .
I havnt checked the angles where bumper and lights meet the wings yet nor compared the bonnets and wings ..But hope to make patterns or possibly try swapping parts between 09 and 13 navaras next week ..
May take some comparison photos of both physical and cosmetic differances if anyone is interested?
