Have a look in the garage section. Most people's mods are priced up on there.

Some are modest and then there is dj and muffdan!! Lol

Can't say ... my wife may read this thread.

I'm just under £5k (just on mods). Lets say about £1k per year  s:) :) s:)  But I've also sold on £695 worth of those mods.

I guess we're not including insurance, tax, MOTs, etc. as that will add a lot more!

Nothing so far! Have only had her 3 months.

Will be putting some new tires on her this weekend, but more maintenance rather than mods.

You should buy tyres, it'll be cheaper than getting them from America   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Fair enough! I don't have that kind of cash at the moment! I've spent about £600 in total in the 3 months of owning my "2. I've got a long way to go to catch you guys up...

Has anyone had their car sprayed? Wondering how much it would cost for a full body spray for the convertible?

You could probably get it done on the cheap for around £1.2k. Definitely £2k+ for a proper job, it does really depend on what colour, whether you want it a new colour and whether you want it done 'properly'.

I paid £1500 for mine but my car was a guinea pig for a motorbike spray shop as they didnt do cars normally but he was a professional air brush artist so I thought a one colour spray would be a doddle for him.

I do know a guy who charges £40 a panel and hes really really good though

I got quoted £700 just to do the respray on these:

But then again everything is expensive here!
Ended up paying £400 from a friend of a friend which I was told was cheap for doing fibreglass (evidently from the quotes I'd had). That was agreed price before he found out Sable paint was £62 a litre which sounded very expensive the way he was saying it!

Hmm the topic seems to have strayed!
