Yep I've done all that but beat you cos I bought an airfreshener to hang on my mirror lol
 
99% of that list looks like upgrades rather than actually needed. It does make a handy shopping list for the tea leaves though.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Can I please ask where you bought the terrafirma shocks and springs for the lift and how much they were?

Is there any particular reason for whacking on all the uprated parts? Are you off on an expedition or summit?

Have you done much offroading with the vehicle in it's standard form? Many people bolt loads of bumpf on their vehicles just cos they can but in actual fact don't know or realise what difference each part makes. Most parts will bnefit the vehicle in one way and hinder it in another.eg Summit like a steering gaurd may protect your steering but it will also help prevent you reversing out of trouble. diff gaurds may protect your diffs from impacts but will cause them to rust out instead etc etc.
 
i did try it for a little while! but it just got addictie to be honest! and everythink is so cheap! this is my toy i suppose as my usual run around is an E46 M3 and everythink is absolutely ridiculous price wise!
