I suppose some sound deadening could be removed, but other than the leather seats, motorized recline motion of the seats (all other adjustments are manual) and 9 speaker standard stereo I'm not really sure what else you could remove from my Cayman to make it a lesser, non-luxury, VW version.
BTW even my VW base trim spec Golf has motorized recline for the front seats. Must be a weird German thing.
