Theres no need. According to ph you should just put a smelly old labrador in the back and some old shotgun cartridges and pretend youre 'old money' whilst scoffing at the peasants in their new cars.
Buy your wife an old subaru legacy and pretend she is also old money and drive around in jodhpurs at all times
There's already a smelly labrador in the back - helps with the ambience. For the animal-minded amongst us, she's not in there all the time. So don't report me to the RSPCA/Disco3 anti-cruelty league.Buy your wife an old subaru legacy and pretend she is also old money and drive around in jodhpurs at all times
The jodhpurs thing - is that me or Mrs W1bbles? The sentence is a bit ambiguous. Neither of us has jodhpurs but if either of us was to have to wear them, her legs are better than mine. I don't have the 'powerfully built company director thing' going on. Even if I did, I don't think jodhpurs would work.
Rattle can your arches the same colour as the bodywork, cleans up the black arches and gives that modern look.
You'll need a small stop start button fitted to the left of the steering wheel for that.
Badly apply plasti dip to alloys, helps hide the wifes bad parking attempts.
( on serious note, the 3 flash indicator can be done on your car, it's something that can be unlocked along with sat nav unlock, clock in the dash binical and other car. Fellow early D3 owner who has done all these bits )

Convince people you have stop-start technology by switching your engine off at red lights and restarting when the light goes orange.
Put HID lights in your reflector lenses to emulate the crisp light of modern cars. People will flash in appreciation.
Turn on your fog lights, and remove your sidelights to emulate the modern DRL look.

Spare tyre? Wheel brace? Jack? What a horrid business. Your car actively monitors all of the necessary parameters and if something goes awry, just phone the little man and the little man will come and fix it. One should never lift one's bonnet, there is nothing under there which is of any of your concern, only dirty abominable machinery. The little man takes care of that when he services it. Why, when you are so busy with your important work, should you concern yourself with the work of a smelly spanner monkey?
Park at a music festival in Hampshire and bingo! smoked glass and matt paint in one go.

I was going to suggest using a blue felt tip pen to colour in the head lamp bulbs to give you that xenon lights look but saw your comment that its painful to change the bulbs on your Disco. So instead get a can of blue spray paint and spray the headlights blue, jobs a good 'en in about one minute. Repeat with all the interior bulbs and you have the latest LEDs lighting. If you have a working 12v socket fit a run of 12v Christmas bulbs to give you that ambient lighting that is so popular.
