because I'm nearing the end of modding the old girl I decided cos I was bored today to list all the things I'd added/uprated on her.
The total includes the actual price I bought the car for aswell.
Total spent: ?5499 (approx)
That's not including parts I've bought and now taken off. Ie, wheels, previous ICE install, etc. Also not including replacing any parts such as oil filters, etc.
Another ?4000 going on that next week with the new engine. ;D
How much have you spent?
-
whats the engine plans?
-
i would say i have spent about ?4500 on the exterior,interior,ice and security that includes new tyres maintenance and repairs although there hasnt been many repairs.
no money spent on engine.
-
4500 for the car... plus another 1000 since on new headunit (got 2xsubs + amp from my old car..), six quid on a 16v grille badge that was missing.. and new front disks + pads, some tyres, cambelt + vbelts changed, all by VW to keep up the fwvsh :) (ermm ouch.. that was - lol)
-
well not spent a great deal yet but have 8000 to spend so far im about 1500 out of pocket but cant even say that couse its going to be worth it and its not something i will sell ill keep so its all good if you like it then spend lol
sam
-
about less than ?850 since i brought it (last May) ;D
-
Too much :o
-
quickly creeping up to the 10k mark.
-
?850 is a tiny amount :-\
feel as if im not looking after it :-[
-
Other than stealership servicing costs, I've only done badges and stereo :-[
My only defence is that is a super stereo, and my badges look super!
Actually, I'm ashamed of my lack of modifying, I shall endeavour to do better people.
*S11EPS disappears with pvw in hand
-
you have to include what you paid for the car people!
-
ohh so thats ?1500 for the car and ?850 maintaining it (including after my crash)

-

-
Bought the car for 850. Then spent about 400 on coilovers, alloys, install and various other stuff. So 1250

Knightrider, where'd you get your wheels and suspension kit from? ?400 altogether sounds a bargain!! Did you do the work yourself for the suspension lowering?

I'm shamed of mi car cos I ain't got all these mods associated with most of the members on this forum.
-

Im saving now for a 50BHP shot of N20 :)

the car was 1k. about ?600 in repairs so far and going up all the time, just bought some roof seals and speakers as well.
still to do dent in rear wing, crack in front bumper, boot lock, rust patch near windscreen, momo gear knob and a couple of other bits (ICE) before the engine swap ;)

hey richy, mine is the same model as yours, got the wheels with brand new pirrelies from a dogey guy on the docks, and got me springs from europarts and fitted em me self, was a bit of a twot todo but as i run 2 cars, and have a mrs and 3 kids i cant afford to spend shed loads!!!!! roll on them lotto numbers!! then supercharged/nitrous R32 here we come!! i wish ::)
-
so far.......?450 on the car........
then again, im a poor student that spends all his money on music and going out!!
my last car was a golf, ?600, d reg with 50000 miles, genuine. then it got written off the day i left college!!
-
Thanks for the info Kniterider.
I've got my eye on some 17x8" BBS alloys which are unfortunately about ?900 with tyres, and some eibach springs. This will cost me over a grand, even before I get someone to fit the springs!! ( I would fit them myself but I don't have the right equipment and I'd probably f**k it up even if I did! ) :P
I'm holding out for a bargain on ebay. ;) I too have a mrs, who'd prefer to spend the money on a new bathroom!
Rich.
-
Hmm, probably about ?150, at the most!! But thats because all i've done is like, a new 4 headlamp grille, two services (?25 each) a new roof rubber (?25) and other stuff like centre console, about ?10. I have got bits free, like boot light etc... I have a staandard golf, so had nothing like that, so i had to get lots of bits from scrap cars.... Also, the car was free, so that saved a bit of money!!
-
eeeeee, I will soon be splashing out a few hundred quid on the old girl...roll on summer ;D
-
On my new 8v,750 so far ,and that was at dubfreeze last weekend.Bought fk coilovers,porsche design 90s and adapters.And i plan to spend a whole lot more :D
