what can i say, had a nice red standard 6 and wanted to do the following mods,

cai
fox wheels
pbv
lowered
tinted windows
leather interior
improved front disks
scorpion rear box
short shift
manual gear box cos mine was an auto

must admit, in the end i did it the easy way, i bought andys 6(grin).

in reality, i priced all the mods i wanted to do short term and the price came to nearly 2 grand. for another 500 quid i got the whole car, and, pam got an MX6 in the bargain.

it was strange that, andy had done all the mods i wanted to, even down to the wheels i had already decided to buy.

this may not be the way for some, but, it certainly worked for me - fanx andy mate.

MartyB - check my sig................

**cruisemad** · 5-26-04, 17:55

Ive spent more than Most but that does include the fact I had one 6 and then bought a rather sorry J-spec cause my shell was rather beyond repair.

Think my last count was about 12 months ago and came in at a shade over 5000!!!
