I know so much and then when you sell it on you lose the majority of it. Apart from stereo and ICE stuff which is transferable. But you only live once so might aswell have fun. Bit like what was said on that 'Chavs' programme. We earn the money so if we want to spend it on modding our cars who are we hurting.

I've got a big book of all my receipts for the nova. It's in the 5G region including all the little stuff. Most of that is the engine though.
Doesn't scare me cause I can make most of it back if I broke the car
