not really needed to to be fair, had to buy two bolts to secure gearbox mount (£4.00 in total)
two front tyres £140
spray paint and laquer £50 tops
Sunroof £10

thats about it, she's been a damn good car to me since I've had her, over a year now, just need to get her looking pretty.
Major service is next on agenda for her though before serious bodywork gets done

It only hurts to be accurate but around 3-4k in 2 months + what ever other bits I've bought and not added up yet (like splitter, side skirts etc)
