My analogue dashboard clock is from a Capri, it sits next to the fag lighter. No idea how it got there, ticks like mad so It's not connected. I doubt if anyone has a more pointless 'upgrade'. I've also got an airplane style flip switch connected to nothing, might have been the old lpg switch at some time or a fan chicken switch. I pretend it's a nitrous switch; really impresses people when I flip it then push myself into the seat making a swoosh noise at 36mph.

Voltmeter, oil pressure and oil temperature gauges from Audi 80. Not exactly an upgrade though, more an addition.
