Good News, and a decision...

Luke_WBA · 9th June 2010, 09:00

Hi All,

Well, ive just paid for me and the Mrs to go away and also purchased an engagement ring....thats the good news i guess. But some better news

is that ive still managed to come out at about £300 under budget

So the decision......

Save the £300?

Or spend it on.......

FRS and Eibach Springs x3 votes
Carbon Fibre Bonnet x3 votes (2 for wrap)
HKS Racing suction kit
Mugen Short Shifter
Save towards Flashpro?

I know these come out slightly more then £300, but what the heck lol!!!

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. My car "performance wise" is totally stock apart from the milltek.

Thanks

Luke_WBA · 9th June 2010, 09:06

Very true mate, my head tells me to spend it on the car (why i still can lol) and my heart says, stop being silly, your car is fine as it is, SAVE IT lol.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.....!! Thanks for your input though!!

spen, spend, spend

eibachs and frs spend it and if you diy the springs you will come in around budget....

jcw147 · 9th June 2010, 10:32

spend it but make sure she dont read this post and realise's you value her £300 under budget!

Luke_WBA · 9th June 2010, 10:37

Lol, well the holiday and ring cost me over £3k together, so im sure she wont mind. I actually didnt undervalue her

Its just that the ring she / i wanted was slighlty cheaper then i budgeted for. But she has no idea i have purchased the ring lol. Im a smooth cat

Seems like all the spenders are coming out now. But the only opinions i have is to go for FRS and springs.

So if you say "spend" could you please tell me, what to spend it on

Thanks

If you buy Flashpro now you will spend on mapping in the future and wont be able to resist RRC, HKS RSK and a new throttle body!! Dont be sucked into the modding trap ha ha

...

Im a spender but would prob suggest save. You never know when you might need it!

If my Fiance had £300 spare and I'd just been spoilt rotten, I'd say spend it on the car - go for it!!

Congratulations to you both.

Thanks for that, although she doesnt know about the ring yet. I told her id pay for her holiday, but couldnt afford a ring until next year. How cunning

so its going to be a pleasant suprise for her (hopefully) lol im trying to plan a proposal on the beach or something like that. I would hope she'd take the same view as yourself though!!!

but the big question is what do i spend it on lol?

haha, thats a very true statement, in fact she often says "you love that bloody car more then you love me"

Not sure where she gets that perception from though

jcw147 · 9th June 2010, 11:31

how about springs and get the hood wrapped with carbon vinyl rather than an actual carbon hood.

gazmdm · 9th June 2010, 11:39

Spend on a bonnet if it's in anyway chipped like my 8 month old milano then it's a must.
