It's cool to remove any trace of engine size and any sort of RS, GT or 4WD tag, especially in .ch
Though aficionados can go from tell tale signs like exhaust pipes, door mirrors etc.

Heated leather seats are on the list. Build in Sat Nav - apparently updateable by DVD. For the past twenty years though, we've relied on maps.
Is it cool or uncool to remove the make and model identifiers?

The ladies are very appreciative of these.

On a more serious note, be wary of the in built sat nav as not all have an easy to update map and software.

I just got a set of cloth seat covers for my "new" van for £9.99 from Aldi. Not because I'm poor but because I'm extremely mean, which makes me trendy.

Don't pay the dealership the extra £30 for the tin of Werther's Originals in the glove compartment. It's cheaper to buy your own tin of Werther's Originals and install it in the glove compartment yourself.
