VR6 0 Posted June 4, 2004 Prompted by Kev and Kieron both claiming to have spent the equivalent of the national debt of a small country on their C's..... I was just wondering what everyone has spent on their C since they've had it? (Not counting petrol, insruance else it would get too depressing!). Mine would be: FK's £550 Recaro's £600 Loom/switch for Recaro's £80 Schrick £1,100 Stereo £250 Lupo wipers £50 Headlight loom £35 Mats £45 Swissol stuff ~£100 Grill £40 Door handle £30 Clear repeaters £10 Spare set of rear lights £25 Tyres x 4 £300 VT mounts £200 Speakers/Sub/Amp/Audioscape door pods/wiring £850 New rear plate surround £40 Alloys £900 Tyres £350 BMC CDA induction kit £120 Momo steering wheel & boss £90 Momo gear knob £20 Audi TT gear shift surround £20 (I think) Radiator, thermostat, thermostat housings, temp senders £250 New sump and gasket £60 Supercharger £2350 VDO Gauge panel £130 Spare set of Refurbed Speedlines £150 Another set of rear lights £30 Nice.

Jim 2 Posted June 4, 2004 Not that I want to tempt fate, but not a lot so far... 4x Tyres (Eagle F1 GSD3) - £176 Major Service - £244 Sunroof repair job - £80/parts & £140 labour (Thanks for the reminder Stormseeker) A nice collection of car cleaning products that probably adds up to about £50 :) Want to buy some nice wheels and get a Pioneer MP3 head unit when funds permit.

Mystic Storm 0 Posted June 4, 2004 Let me think (approx costs): PiperCross Viper induction = £250 Throttle Cable = £25 Lupo Wiper Mod = £25 Rear Discs & Pads (std) = £100 Tar-Ox Discs & Pads (front) = £270 Front Caliper = £50 Milltex Cat Back = £330 16" BBS RX's with Toyo's = £850 That's nearly 2 grand which isn't bad. Due an MOT & service next month so no doubt that'll cost a 'pretty penny'. As said already, dread to think how much has went on petrol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
