That appears to have been the approach by the previous/ previous+1 owner of the Chrysler Ypsilon I picked up at the weekend.
It's been covered in stickers / a Chrysler bonnet badge / door and sill edgings / other stick-on stuff but there's no bonnet strut / locking wheel nut keys (it has two different types on the front and back) / a bulb needs changing / faulty air-con / faulty Bluetooth / there's a nail in a tyre plus two almost-bald tyres.
Underneath it's a nice little car and has been looked after. They're jobs which, when sorted, will just make it work better.
The 'go faster' bonnet and probably either/both side stripes on what's basically a 1.2 litre Fiat are coming off though although I've a feeling the bonnet badge may be bolted on. Note that some of the stickers and stripes appear to be covering scratches and dents.
I have two spare sets of 'go faster' stripes which were supplied with the car should anyone want them

True. It's as if someone put "Chrysler Ypsilon sticker" into AliExpress/Temu.
But ... the bonnet go-faster stripes and emblem are now off. I was correct in thinking they hide marks - in this case a couple of chips and a tiny dent. However, the side stripe has lifted the laquer, so those need to stay on. I've also removed a couple of other bits that were stuck on.
