Most liked posts in thread: How much have you spent modding that MINI?

If so, you should be including towing and $.18 of baling wire in with your "mods"

 

I guess that category could be broken up into 3 sections:

1. Extreme use casualties
2. Replacements just because you changed your mind (bling stuff, graphics, PGT and yours wheel addiction, etc)
3. Parts that did nothing but lighten you wallet (think PU and the like)

 

I'm glad to see no one has voted "Not done anything".

I was surprised I have done nothing engine/suspension, even wheels yet and I'm in the $1-5k range ut:

 

With the operative word being "yet" :cornut:

 

Yeah, and if you count money spent in the boutique! :shocked:
I might be in another MINI :lol:

 

I marked 10-20K, but after really thinking about it, it is over $20K. Wheels and tires alone were over $3K :frown2:

 

How much did I really spend, or how much did I tell my wife it costs? She still thinks it only costs 10.00 to go golfing.:lol:

 

You should see what mine thinks 9 inches look like. :devil:

 

:lol::lol::lol:

 

Dig that ^ I am right there with you.:crazy::lol::cornut:

I often wonder what the going rate is for ones first born? Only because I think I have already spent that much in mods.

Power, Speed and reliablity does not come cheap but it is well worth every penny.

As the saying goes, "You have to pay to play" and I like to play hard.

 

Your score is no surprise Dave :crazy:

 

as much as I love modding, at some point, you're better off buying a bigger/faster/better car. That said, there isn't a better MINI than a MINI so.....

 

I think this is a subject that is best not spoken of.

 

im under a grand right now but by the time its done it will be over 20k

 

If I don't go crazy, I'll end up in the +10K range I suspect.

 

How do detailing supplies fit into this? Because if they are included, my numbers go way up:crazy:.

I am in the $30+ category but you left that one out. :ut:

 

This just occurred to me. We bought our '06 JCW just about fully optioned. Sticker came to about $38K. Base price for an S was about $24k. I started out $14k in the modding hole to begin with. :cryin:

 

So does that mean a justa starts out with a credit for modding:idea:

It would be nice if it worked that way, wouldn't it?
