Im guessing u ment how much I've spent
Hood was bout 600
Boot lid bout 550
Dc Skirts 350
Kaze front 700
Group buy rear bar 500 I think it is Left fender 200 or so

As for damage boot none just over the vs spoiler Hood bit of paint flake
Vs skirts non vented ones cracked scratched
Vs front cracked almost falling off and bogged to the left fender that now has a dent

So all will be replaced =) and I will have a hot lookin car

well it wasn't work on MY car... but i pretty much did all the work while my mate sat around watching.
2001 Prado,
reconnected the front drive shaft,
filled the transfer case with fluid,
bled the brakes,
reconnected the transfer case bash plate
attempted clutch starting because the battery was dead... to no avail
attempted jump-starting with my car... to no avail
turned my car on, pulled the battery out while it was running and put it in his car. this worked :lol: his car started, then we swapped the batteries back so he could charge his one up :lol:

and now i'm off to sleep after having been awake since 10am yesterday...
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

I put new grooved and dimpled discs and new pads on the back, plus took the front pads and discs off to give them a clean up and get all the dust out of the vents and the grooves & dimples as they were clogged up thus reducing airflow - wheels stay cleaner longer now. :)
