As the thread subject implies, let us know how much you have spent on modding your car including the initial cost of your car.
For me the car cost £3,200.00 and I have spent £0.00 on modding it so far.

I posted this info on another thread once upon a time...
If I remember correctly, I've spent around £3k on mine. I couldn't believe it when I worked it out. The thing is though... when you pay for things bit by bit, you don't realise how much you've spent until you total it all up. However, if you paid £3k outright, then I'm sure you'd have a re-think about what you're about to do with that £3k. Hehe!
Well... that's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it :-)
