How much have you spent on mods for your F3x?

I just had a little tally up in my head and it comes to around £1150, and that's with all the M performance parts being replicas (except the grilles and floor mats which I got free)

Not bad considering the transformation in the car I think, especially as some members have spent 3 times that just on the front brakes!

Its quite scary to think that on these its so easy to spend upwards of £1k.
When I modded my first Pug 206, it was under 1k including the car!

Im not including paint protection or car seat protection etc

I have a feeling you are right, but I also think Helmut will be a close second.

That gorgeous steering wheel he got was the best part of £1k IIRC.

- M Performance 405M's
- M Performance Aero package / carbon bodykit etc
- M Performance Power and Sound Kit

Toal cost £7,800

But I should get £1,300 back for the stock wheels and a few hundred for the stock exhaust.

I've got other things planned after collection too.

Zero. May go MPPSK, but not got round to checking impact on PCP and insurance.

Laziness may prevail and the bill might stick at zero.

All mechanicals; nothing decorative.

I just spent 15 mins looking back over all costs, its about £4000 ish.

YES I have done alot, but I also got everything with huge money off.

For example my whole brake kit in calipers, discs and pads were £710 (Usually £1400 ish)

My NBT with touch controller, DAB etc was £600 (RRP £1200)

I paid £350 for my M Performance interior trim, that cost doesnt include the 3 extra pieces.

£225 for F15 screen (£475 usually)

The list goes on, but everything I have done is very very very good value. Also dont forget I got my exhaust cheap for promo on YouTube, and 3-4 other mods have be sponsored to me.

Hmm probably about £700 so far, probably about the same on accessories. Will probably get roofrack and a couple of Thule bike carriers soon so that will be another £500 out the window but carrying bikes will become easier
