She has had her car painted - in leopard print.
Rumours that fluffy dice were added as part of the renovation were untrue, her office said.
But the car seat covers complement the exterior in matching leopard print.
The car has been sporting its new paint job for over a week and there have been no driver distraction complaints "so far", Ms Bennett's office said.
The two-door car also sports the slogan "proud to be a Westie".
