    Think I've got the bug.

    Hey all I've only had my T5 for 3 weeks, and so far have bought,

    1 2 tyres,(needed doing)
    2 2 top strut mounts (needed doing)
    3 4 Genuine mats,
    4 Anti slip boot liner,
    5 Gearbox oil change,

    I've spent all day looking at these parts,

    1 Remap,
    2 Drilled and grooved disc's,
    3 Braided lines,
    4 K & N filters,
    5 T5-R alloys,
    6 Power flow exhaust,

    Don't know whats else to look at, could be getting expensive soon.

    I have never been bothered by fitting bits like this to a car before. Were will it end?

    I'm in Driffield East Yorkshire, Only spent £1800 on the car with 12months t&t planned to keep it a year and then upgraded to 57 reg T5 ex police car, So all the bits i buy, i hope can swap on to the newer car.

    So is it worth it getting the work done? I'm not so sure.
    The car has done over 195k and still goes well, just wanted to buy one cheap and see how they went really.
    But now im hooked with the "bug"
