To be honest, my list is very similar to yours, with the addition of TTE exhaust (£500), B&M Short Shifter (£110) and my 17" wheels (£370 icluding refinish job).
I estimate my spend at around £1500! s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
I love it though, so that's all tht counts s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

mph · July 25, 2003, 11:42

Uprated chassis, suspension, brakes, clutch, exhaust system & engine management; turbocharger, water/air intercooler & lightened flywheel; various minor cosmetic changes including 17" alloys. However, much like a lady's age, one does not ask the price, one merely enjoys it's presence..

I win! Do I get a prize?

warning to others: it's a slippery slope, you don't start out intending to do these things, they just sort of happen..

markiii · July 25, 2003, 12:06

you'd win on tyre bill alone mate :-) :-) :-)

I have no idea how much I've spent on my '2, infact I immediately forget how much things cost after I've bought them so I don't worry myself!

Here's what I've got, in the order I got them...

I think that's all I've spend on the car so far, excluding tyres and servicing (and petrol) of course!...

On order

DP arm rests and centre cover £211

Well at least he works hard to earn all that cash he spends on his car... hold on... wait a minute... what am I saying?!

Talking about how little spent, I thought a set of four Toyo Proxes T1-S for under £200, fitted, was pretty good.

That's a lot of money, but then do you pay all the wierd and wonderful taxes through the ownership of the car that we do?

OK, how much have you spent...
