Tommy_boy Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ok so I've noticed a lot of people are struggling for cash recently (myself included), so decided to start a thread, don't know if its been done before but worth a shot. If you could recommend/suggest a cheap mod, say £50 or less what would it be? Be interesting to see what everyone comes up with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill T Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 No no no, the CCUK tradition is whatever Mod you do you tell the other half it was 50 Quid, because lets face it you could just about get a 7 supercharged for that sort of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtoycelica Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Mine if I had a spare 50 quid would have to be fuel. As thats about as far as I could stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQChicken Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Only takes a couple of days, i done mine over the weekend when i knew i wouldn't be using the car. EDIT - only costs 40 quid for all the gear so you could spend the last tenner on some calliper paint and a brush Edited April 23, 2013 by BBQChicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_boy Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Only takes a couple of days, i done mine over the weekend when i knew i wouldn't be using the car. I couldn't risk it. Our boss won't turn a job down if he can make 50p on it and would like to tell him I couldn't come in, red rag to bull springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny-Grimsby Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hummm personally I would look at a service kit or perhaps going round car and replacing worn parts bit by bit. A healthy car is a good car other than that get on ebay and buy a used power polisher as dont matter how good your car looks after a full day power polishing it will look the nuts. Another suggestion would be gunk and lots off it. Lather the whole engine bay in it a few times and wash off then get the rattle can out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stigseviltwin Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 GT4 Strut brace on the rear for a 6. Could be doable for £50? Best mod I've tried so far, took getting new tyres to realise just how good it was though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
