WHAT ?!?!

X2 WHAT!!!!

£3000 ON INSURANCE - U MUG LOL

 

[edewer]

i tend to swap stuff moreso that buy it outright, so although i've done quite a bit it hasnt cost me that much

 

[Chris205]

Ive bought and sold bits off my car to level out costs but in its final guise before I sold it and bought it back were the following

2118 wheels £500
Coilovers £400
Whiteline Rear ARB £140
Ph2 Rear Lights £30
Ph2 interior handles £20
Cup Spoiler £150
Ph2 Rear Bumper £100
ph2 side strips and bullets £50

Tax £120
Mot £100
De-cat £100
BTB exhaust £375
OMP Seat/harness and frame £400
OMP trecento wheel and boss £65

£2590 if ive counted that right in my head

plus buying the car twice, not a bad spend in 5-6 months

[Mr_P]

You cant really include tax, insurance, petrol (and tyres up to a point) as in all fairness no matter what car you get your gonna have to do that as well to keep legal.

As for petrol costs well the smile you get for from this car more than makes up for that.
