How much money have you spent on your car???

[BigBum]

Sometimes we don't realise how much money we've poured into our cars after a certain time. All the little bits and pieces here and there all add up to quite a substancial ammount! So add up all the costs of the mods you've did to your car and you may well be surprised!

So here's how it goes. You list your mods and your total price that you have spent so far on your car, simple! Can't wait to see some of the money spent on some of the cars on this forum
