[olaf]

Go on...........tell us how much it all cost! If you dare

 

[DamoR]

chris any pics of your badge setup please?

 

[Triple D]

Guestimating around 900-1k ponds mark maybe?

 

[RobM]

That's quite a list! The thing is though, once done it will be quite a transformation too! The ability to have more power and actually use it (new clutch) especially will be superb I'm sure

 

[UncleFester]

Definitely add an ARB kit to that list Good balanced set of mods that .... bet your bank account is twitching at the ring from all the action it's been subjected to!

 

[ChrisUK]

chris any pics of your badge setup please?

Here you go mate, I opted for the smaller LEON badge, the newer large one looks silly IMO, and I haven't spaced it out as much as others on here as I think it's better looking more compact........

Go on...........tell us how much it all cost! If you dare

[RobM]

That's a lotta money!

 

[UncleFester]

lol Rob - won't be long before you spend that .... i reckon i'm up around the £3k mark myself and that's not including audio

 

[ChrisUK]

That's a lotta money!

Thats what bonuses & pay rises are for

Still got to pay my holiday off with it as well though lol, glad I paid my insurance off in one lump sum in March !!

 

[RobM]

I have the 40k service coming up, which is going to include dogbone mounts, but that's about it other than mods. And my mods have cost me a rough total £460 so far, including the one not yet fitted so I think I'm doing well.

Have a sneeky feeling my brakes are going to be next on the list after the service though, so there goes £400 easily. Plus tyres will need changing later this year, so there goes another £400.

Luckily I don't have a TDi so don't need to buy a new clutch after remapping it

But do have an LCR so have expensive brakes and tyres

 

[ChrisUK]

Oh, and thats on top of the "soft" mods already done, such a the Civic aerial, front R splitter, bonnet seal, delock kit (still waiting to fit 2 years down the line lol), Sat Nav.....

Thing is, you can spend loads on your car, I'd still love to sort out the suspension & get new wheels, but I can't justify anymore spends..lol

Have to wait for bonus next year ;-)

 

[ChrisUK]

I think my brakes are going as my car is squeaky as hell when I turn at the minute - aint got a clue what it is

 

[RobM]

Could just need new shims or some copper grease on the back of the pads. Should be easy enough to do yourself, or smile sweetly at JBS when your car is in

 

[ChrisUK]

lol - I think I'll smile sweetly

No women work there though do they? I'm not smiling sweetly at Mike lol

 

[Triple D]

£2k should have taken it to allards for some hybrid turbo action

After my accident, i totted up all i had spent on my ibiza inc fiting etc, and it came to £6.5k and now its dead ah well, i had fun with it whilst it lasted

 

[ChrisUK]

Thing is, a load of it "could" be removed onto a new vehicle if needed...

i.e. plate, RA, struts, lights, stereo etc

So it's not really spending money, it's investing it
