What's your cheapest mod?

Postby Zaphod » Sun Jan 26, 2014 11:57 pm

Up until now, my cheapest mod was my silver grille surround, for a grand total of $3.86:

But I found a cheaper one from Bridgestone (although you need to have a Blue Lancer) - blue alloy valve caps, which apart from looking neat, also help charity:

They look pretty good on, too!

So, as with most things, I've set the bar pretty low - but what can you do for less...? (freebies don't really count, but post 'em up anyway!)


Cheers!

I you just got if off eyouBay...

:-)

I wanted to do a 'dummy run' with a cheap trim, plus I didn't want to put one on that was too wide - the one I used was 6mm.


I should have left it in the sun to soften right up - the two top corners are pulling away slightly; I've ordered 8mm this time - hopefully there'll be a little more tape behind it and I'll do the top corners a bit more slowly.


I ordered this one this time:

You can also get 10mm & 12mm if you like a bolder look:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200926880565 ... 1423.l2649


I was also thinking of getting some 25-30mm trim to run across the bottom of the boot...

Not like I've researched it or anything!

Just as long as you post pics!

Cheapest mod was my "spirit of competition" sticker for the front bonnet for just under $5.00 inc shipping.

But i might take it off and replace it with "sports mind by mitsubushi"

@Tiff, you can get 2 for like 5 dollars something "spirit of competition" sticker.

@kevin - already got my eye on one - just trying to find one a tad smaller in navy blue , so it almost disappears on the car...

@mark - outrageous!

@sean - that's more like it!

:-)


I just ordered these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190944416609 ... 1497.l2649 which works out as 16c more than Sean, so I got ripped off!

Also these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400588058308 ... 1497.l2649 in case they weren't bright enough!


Last o' the big spenders me!
