How much did you spend?

11th June 2011, 14:09

What mods have you got and how much did they cost you?
(Or a total if you have so many you cant list

)

11th June 2011, 14:17

Check the 'Garage' on here.

Aint got a clue about my black VTR though. About £2500 on suspension, 1 seat, harness and brakes, rad, wheels, exhaust.

11th June 2011, 14:19

ive spent around 2 grand on mods over the years for my car

11th June 2011, 14:27

Dont you ever feel weird spending more money on the car than it actually cost to buy? Id be so gutted if it got stolen/written off and all that money had been spent on it :\

11th June 2011, 14:30

Spending little money really. Spend 3k on a Saxo and you got a car that can out perform alot of new 15k cars. In a smash you aint gonna break much apart from the shell and rad. Buy a new shell £200, new rad. Slap it all together job done.

You don't even want to know - for the same reasons as above. All the haters jump on the bandwaggon "waaa you could have bought a Toysupa Megapower 1000bhp tri-turbo for that!!!"

not been on mods, but more on repairing the car too a good standard! brought my furio for 300, so far i've fitted passenger side vtr skirt+ wheel arch ( was missing )
changed the airial to a smaller chrome one
new floor matts
sprayed interier, consol, air vents and gear nob

OK I'll bite.

I had 17k in my old civic vti. 6k in my ek9 and only 500 in my saxo lol.

12th June 2011, 08:35

2k....

12th June 2011, 08:39

Less than £3k in the Mazda so far, and that includes buying it.

Don't think my 106 stood me at much more than that, and that had 3 engines... Gotta love being tight, and buying pretty much everything second hand.

Oh boy, this is a nasty thread, makes me think about how much money i put into my car...

New rims... OZ's
Short shift
Steering wheel + boss
