Anybody else ended up hoarding things in their garage as they have upgraded their car.

Stumbled across my pristine pair of V12V sills at the weekend which of course I replaced with the AMR CF ones a couple of years ago. Also found my secondary cats in another box!

Really must get my finger out and sell them. smile

Anybody else a hoarder?

I just gave a mate the spares from my first RS4 Which I sold 2 years ago , and

I'm selling my TR6 and gave an enormous amount of upgrade parts to move as well,

So I think it's pretty normal

Good luck moving it all on

My dealer still has all that came off my car when I fitted the Performance Pack on my V12VSR last year. He's kind enough to try and find a buyer for my silencer. Inlet manifolds and complete exhaust will be more difficult or impossible to shift so I think I'll end up hanging the inlet manifolds on my garage wall.

I changed a few bits on my V12S and was advised by Works to keep the original stuff, as if I ever want to sell they won't give me a penny more for the CF parts I added (strakes & mirrors), and "some" buyers would actually want it put back to factory, so I could actually be out of pocket (unlikely I'd have thought).

I've got a plastic box in my loft which currently has the original mirrors, strakes, CF rear light inserts (got them as part of the mirror and strake deal but don't like them), original 7sp manual gear lever (put my 6 speed one in the car), and a single CF badge, but obviously need another before installing biggrin

No doubt there'll be a few more odds and sods going into the box soon too, like the chrome window surrounds.

Amazing the stuff we accumulate really.

It’s a good point about keeping the original stuff. I have swapped the grille, callipers, steering wheel on my roadster and it’s all the better car for it. That said I have kept the parts I’ve swapped out.

Tomorrow I’m swapping the lightweights in my roadster for the sports seats in my coupe. I was then going to have the lightweights recovered. It certainly plays on my mind whether this will cause a problem with resale and at what cost....

I've got a rear exhaust & roll bar strut from a Caterham HPC, a front bonnet from an AC Cobra, a steering wheel from a Porsche 993 and all sorts of other oddments.
Hoarding seems to be one of my weak points.

wheels are my biggest thing. I've got a set of standard V12V wheels, winter wheels and Zagato wheels across 2 dealers. Must get them back soon!
