Cheapest - the Citreon washer jets and flat wipers, about £20 in total!

Most expensive - the custom duplex exhaust was about £600 in the end... but it was well worth it!

I havent done much yet, cause of insurance.

Cheapest - theMGZS.co.uk stickers
Most expensive - Blaupunkt MP66 stereo

I'd love a BMC but might have to wait another year for that.

It was quite scary when you added it all up. I was over £200 for the two XPower back box alone! Then there was the heat sheild, heat sheild gasket, Janspeed sports cat, flange gaskets, ooodles of 3" stainless steel pipe, a load of new hangers and rubbers - and a full day of labour to fit it!

I forgot to add the Janspeed Manifolds, they were about £300 by the time I got them fitted, and then I needed a load more gaskets at £30 each - so that takes the whole system to scary scary prices!
