Not quite - I think you left the forum in early 2018 so only 3 1/2 years :lol:

If you want to realise the most from your car sell the mods first - you won't get back what you paid for them but you'll get more overall.

e.g. swap your seats/doorcards for someone else's + cash, same with the bonnet, aeros, BBK etc. then sell the car.
It'll take longer but you'll end up with more.

…just remember whatever you do, those aero parts are like Unicorn tears and worth at least £1k.

Could someone please give me a list of my mods that would sell on here ie M bonnet mint, M front bumper mint, Rear bumper with Reiger diffuser, M steering wheel mint, 19” 313 mint reps with MPSS tyres as taking you advice I think it’s a good idea as already and too offers for £850 on the side skirts one was £750 but I would get their old ones in silver which I would need for body parts so I could have a complete car to sell.

Jonny, you put the majority of the parts on the car so you know which are 'driveway swappable' and which aren't. Things like seats/bonnet/skirts/bumpers/wheels are all easy enough.

You should be able to sell/swap any of those parts as long as you and the purchaser can meet up and do the work - you may get slightly less than just selling the parts but you'll have an extra pair of hands to help with the work.

Not far off though - I'd think around £850 + a colour matched pair of standard sills is about right.

Modded, low mileage, hardly used but well kept 2.0 with a burgundy roof.

Might have been interested if it had a turbo fitted!

Yeah not for long tho, just wanted it to go to good home, but I think even getting 6k for it would be a hard push hence me thinking about selling sills, bonnet and front bumper and things like steering wheel, maybe even BBK
