Am saving up (slowly) for the GTI and waiting for insurance to run out before I do anything to mine.

How much have you spent on modding your car since you've bought it?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

A scary question with an even scarier answer!

I'd rather not think about what I've spent, or for that matter what I'd like to spend  :jumping: :surprised:

Do you notice a pattern of behaviour forming here? - No-one knows exactly how much except that it's a lot and that it's so much it doesn't bear thinking about!!

I'm no different! It's an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which is fed by this forum! :evilgrin:

"Budgets"!!?? - WTF are those!?
 

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Driving a well-balanced modified GTI is a quasi-religious experience of the highest order! It's beyond any calculation of something as mundane as cost!

There is a budget for each mod - you look in the bank and see if you can afford it.  Next mod pops in your head and you do the same thing  :rolleye:

1 rule, you dont ever add it up  :evilgrin:

Just some new wheels for me... Thinking of colour coding back bumper,thats about it..I always think about a remap for my golfs but never keep them to warrant it..I may ditch this for the new MKVI or one of those cheap R32,s so I dunno,mods seem to back off for me.

Nothing spent apart from a Gulfy Footrest.  But the brakes from Mat in the New Year are the start of it...............

The cost of mine so far.

friends at work just laugh at me.  :signIWS:

friends at home smile at me as normal, but you can tell there thinking he is mad.  :chicken:

and the cost to my relationship with MRS Top cat, well every single mod brings fights, tantrums and toys all over the floor.  :laugh: and thats just me.
But usually she just looks me right in the eye, and says Whyyyyyyy!

So the cost of this madness is expensive in all aspects.   :drinking:
