That not withstanding, I am a little unsure of what you are requesting. Only you know how you want your picture to look. We can edit your picture and change things, but whether that makes it better or worse is a highly subjective matter. What I think is better you might think is worse, and visa versa.
It should be a .nef file. One of the complications will be that RAW formats are often quite camera specific.

I know that editing is quite subjective. What I'm interested in is whether any of the suggested edits offer an appreciable advance on what I can get from the JPEG version. For example, I think RLucas's version is too oversaturated for my tastes but I reckon I could replicate that if I wanted (and I appreciate him taking the time to show how he would work it). However, he does seem to have a bit more detail round the headlight area.

Another thing that is potentially interesting is to see the range of results that can be drawn out from the "digital negative".
