How much £££ have you spent

[N8_KOW]

The only things I wanna do to my Clio (Expression Plus 1.2 16v) really are some Rims (17"s) of course, nuthin less. Clear side repeaters and maybe change the front indicator bulb in the main light to clear but flashing orange if you know what I mean.

Ive only had my car about 2 weeks or so now, and at the end of the day its still a Clio so I dont wanna to OTT, plus all these mods cost money.

I just wanna how much people here have spent on their cars and how long theyve had them.

Ta, Nath

(maybe a remap and a decent sound system- dont go mad like me make the car slowww)

 

[pcarr]

Avos £580

Wheels & Tyers £700

Strut brace £80

Devil full system £320

Plus all the other bits and bobs.

 

[Fred@BTM]

After my little accidents (not my fault) about £4300ish

 

[KDF]

maybe you should have lowered it more thus providing greater handling thus avoiding the accident

 

[James20VT]

[Dash]

Ive done about 10k miles so far. All I have spent is a few bob on jet washes.

I will need to by a wee drop of oil soon as the dash level wotsit has dropped by one dot.

Thats not to say I wouldnt spend more on the car. I have many ideas like,

Rear spoiler, New wheels, Quad exhaust, etc; but I never seem to have the time, and dislike trying to organize all this sort of stuff ( too shy ).

If some firm picked up the car and brought it back all done, they would have my pennies with pleasure.

 

[telford_mike]

Some people are trying to improve the performance of the car, others seek to improve the way the car looks. Big rims are nice to have but they dont really improve the performance of the car, so Ill be leaving them towards the bottom end of my wish-list for the time being. Next up is a cold-air induction kit and a Superchip & re-map.
