How much you spent??

[Jimbo]

Was adding up what i've spent on my car the other day. I was gob smacked when i realised it was over 2k.

What have you guys spent on your cars? Not indluding buying the car in the first place.

You can post a list of mods too. Not with price next to them, just a total at the end. A pic would be cool too.

Lets see how crazy you guys are about your cars..:hug:

[Yates]

Ive spend about 1500 in total on things

selling things i hope to make around 1000 back so not bad at all...

[babers]

with car i think about £4000 and that was having a whole new front end wings,doors,bonnet,front bumper,new front wheels, and a full respray. and about a grand on sound sytem

[ets2k9]

Around £1300 the bulk of that being a VTS conversion.

I havent learnt my lesson that its all money down the drain when its time to sell up.

[boz]

i have probs spent around 2k so far:

wheels
suspension
bigger discs, calipers, pads and hoses
strut brace
full stainless system
De cat
gmc manifold
heat wrap
green cotton filter system
grill
angel eyes

[DevilDamo]

I'm not one for spending a lot on a car knowing I wouldn't get any of it back when I come to sell but I did add it up one day and I've spent just over £3k on it. So in total, the car has had £8k spent on it. Gees.

[ChrisJ]

Not spent too much then Damo?

[DevilDamo]

Well... I never knew it was that much! Hehe!

My problem is that if I wanted something, then I'd pay to have it done so that is where all these things have added up. However, if I were given a £3k loan, I would not have spent it on my car. Hehe! I can now see how people end up spending thousands on their cars because they like me must pay for bits at a time and not whole.
