I've got one of those Airwick flowery things from Sainsburys that clip onto the airvents and give off the smell when the blowers are on for best effect.
The Disney Tigger beanie from Halfords smell didn't last long and cost a fiver.

Come on, Magic Trees New Car Scent ain't that bad. Beats sniffing glue? :evil:

The only other good one that presides in my GTi is the graphite effect Poppy-Coral. Expensive, but goooooood. Try it, you might like it? :laugh:
