Me!
*Grins*
Um, I dunno, depends on what you count as 'cool'. I quite like my GPS holder for it's period trafalgar blueness and goosenecky positioning; and the fact that it's carefully designed to fit in with the ambience of the car (Well, as best a modern piece of computing equipment can!). I think it was popular at the Website rally for my lo-tech solution to the fact that I can't afford to upgrade my iPaq to the state where it has enough memory for the full UK map, so it just had a piece of paper wedged in there instead ;).

That and my little teeny immobiliser. Mind you, if the mood ever takes me I might fit the under-bonnet battery switch which comes from Russia - and is marked up in Russian; that's definately very cool.
Of course, there's the BL styled label under the bonnet which provides all that nice fluid quantity / type / part numbers information. That's quite cool too
I guess that's probably not what you meant

my first minor had a bucket seat, small steering wheel, front antiroll bar etc..
I was really cool and put it back to original spec, sorted the interior, painted the engine bay and inner wings and had it resprayed in the original colour.

Kate's GPS mod is pretty darned cool. I would love her to make me one - I've hinted at it a few times 
I think the K series is a pretty cool mod - but I'm biased
I also think the four-door pickup is pretty rocking

I never noticed. Still, I'm blind to that sort of thing.
You best get some nice red paint and ask me when I get back from 'merkia. We'll have to go and see if B&Q still do those lovely goose-neck lamps... Not sure if it'd fit with your dashboard actually. You'll have to let me have a gander at the thing...
...Yay, Kate Elliott, Mog Interior Designer. Now that has a ring to it ;)

Well, y'see, I'm planning on putting a dash similar to Hebe's in 
All I need is some paint and some metal to fabricate the correct cover
