lol bought a few bits for my car yesterday - admittedly some of it was needed but most wasnt!

Replacement front brakes for Brembos (thanks badger5) - £300
HID replacement lights - £20
Dog Bone bush - £22
Seat Sport Tax Disk holder - £13
New number plates - £20

£375 spent before 1pm! lol

Now thinking about getting my wheels refurbished/resprayed as their looking a bit sorry.

This stuff is expensively addictive!

[chughes163]

Not that it's car related, but I recently bought both a PS3 and a new 40" LCD while at work.

Well, during my lunch break

 

[chughes163]

lol its soo easy to do and painless (until you get your credit card balance! lol)

 

[chughes163]

ohh its all arrived apart from the discs and tax disk holder. Postman was crippled by the weight! im hoping the discs have been sent special delivery.

 

[swissrebel]

Love getting those parcels... damn, stop tempting me!

 

[chughes163]

right well the brakes have been fitted by a mate today - turned out to be a bit of a sod! the disc retaining screw was incredibly tight on one of them and ended up breaking 2 screwdrivers! tried everything but ended up driving to a garage and getting a mate to undo it.

Very pleased with the new discs and pads soo far. Also fitted the bulbs...unsure if i can tell any difference being completely honest...but will give them time!

Getting the dog bone bush mount fitted next weekend too hopefully....and of course, the ultimate mod....the tax holder!
