Treating Her Outdoors

[moltuae]

After spending much more money in the last year on the big lady outdoors than I have on the little lady indoors, I thought it'd be interesting (and somewhat reassuring) to record our collective insanity by sharing the things we do above and beyond essential maintenance.


So, what have you done/spent on your '8 lately?

(leave costs out if you prefer not to divulge your spending).









Here's what I've done ....


About 8 months ago I had the following work done:

• Bonnet repaint
• Front & rear bumper repaint
• Replaced a couple of damaged chrome trims
• Replaced (with new Audi part) missing lower engine tray
• Replaced (with new Audi part) faulty siren
• Machine polish
• Alloy refurb (all 5)
• Interior/leather refurb
• Fitted an after-market TPMS

Which all came to somewhere in the region of £3K



In the last few weeks:

• Replaced all suspension arms/links (with OEM or better) - parts cost ~ £700
• New shocks (Bilstein B6) - cost ~ £500
• New discs and pads (Brembo) ~ £250
• Full service, inc plugs, brake fluid, PS fluid, etc
• Numerous other small jobs

With labour, came to over £2.5K



I think I need to find a cheaper hobby
