Im not talking bout swapping engines or anything. I mean what single item can you buy for the Renault 5 that costs the earth?
Also what the most you have ever spent on your car?

carbon body parts arent that much. if you sent the part to China, they can copy it in carbon if you wanted, but they usually require a minimum quantity and you gotta think of chipping back to the UK, which a couple of years ago was £500 for a container. bonnets were about £280 for nissan 200Sx's....
i spent over 2k on paintwork
nearly 700 on brakes
Insurance! not a mod but still expensive!
Dont go there with insurance, renewed mine today. They said because I valued my car above 5k they will only go full com. Cheapest they can do is 600 thats without a agreed value, which im not sure whats the point insuring it that high then they said they can charge me just under 1k and they will cover me for track and agreed value. So decided to so value of 4999 and TPFT, got agreed value now and its half the price.
I got a quote the other day for £51!

Probably the most I've spent in one go is 1k, on Avo coilovers/ a front mount intercooler and other odds and sods, Tbh when I was a couple of years younger and starting to earn alright money I quite regularly blew £300 or so a week on new panals/ paint/ seats/ etc.
I've wised up a bit now though, and would rather do things on the cheap regarding the car.
pls wheels with out tyres were £1000 plus post from germany.
A decent custom cage would cost around £2000( chrome moly)
custom built manifold £1300
dont know about now but back when i had my 5 the most expensive single mod was a charge cooler around the £500 mark
