Why the Nissan Figaro stands out in a Sea of Ordinary
At The Figaro Shop, you know that we cherish every curve and contour of the Nissan Figaro. But there’s one feature that particularly stands out and elevates the Figaro to a league of its own: the bling!
Earlier this week, whilst the sun was beating down on us at our Oxfordshire site, we engaged our team of highly skilled specialists to a fun challenge. The question was simple yet yielded some surprising answers: How many pieces of chrome are there on a Nissan Figaro?
The Great Bling Guessing Game
Armed with clipboards and curiosity, our team members scoured their memories and the cars, trying to tally up all those beautiful pieces of chrome. The responses varied widely, with some very conservative estimates. It was a joy watching their faces light up with determination and a bit of bewilderment as they realised just how many sparkling details adorn a Figaro.
Here’s a peek into our little league table of guesses in reverse order of success (stay tuned, we’ll reveal the answer at the end!). Before you scroll down, take a moment to make your own guess. How many pieces of chrome do you think make a Figaro shine?

The Final Count
After compiling all the guesses, it was time for the official count. We meticulously inspected every nook and cranny, inside and out of one of our beautiful Figaros on site.
The result? Not a single specialist got it right. Every guess fell short of the mark.
So, how many pieces of bling are there on a Nissan Figaro?
The grand total is a whopping 91 pieces! That’s right, 91 gleaming pieces of chrome, chrome covered accessories or stainless steel add that luxurious touch to the Figaro, making it sparkle and stand out. This also excludes the optional extras of which we counted an additional 18, taking the total to 108!
Here is out tally! Get in touch if we have missed anything from the list. We know there are some eagle eyes out there.

The Art of Restoration
At The Figaro Shop, we take immense pride in our bespoke restorations. Each piece of chrome is carefully removed when we embark on a restoration project. This allows us to finish the bodywork and interior to the highest specification. Depending on their condition, the chrome pieces are either replaced with brand new ones, reconditioned, or meticulously polished to restore their original luster.
The process is time-consuming and requires a lot of hard work. Some pieces are trickier than others to remove and refit, but the end result is always worth the effort. The pristine finish and the car’s revitalised sparkle are testaments to our dedication and passion.
Your Chrome Needs Covered
If you find yourself with a dull or rusty piece of chrome on your Figaro, don’t fret, our parts site has you covered for many of these. You can find links to items of chrome that you can purchase in the table above.
Do let us know if there is a chrome part that you would love to see our parts shop research and develop and we can get Maz, “The Parts Guru” on the case!
Thank you for joining us in celebrating the unique charm of the Nissan Figaro’s bling!
