You can find running costs on my profile page. As for parts costs - they all come with a 12 month warranty, so real costs haven't really surfaced yet - but there isn't much - brakes are standard AP Racing 4 pots, tyres are SO3's (about £165+VAT a pop for the rears - again see my profile), plugs are pretty standard, even platinum ones are only about £30 for 6 so I wouldn't worry about that, leads - can't think why they would need replaceing.

In reality it's essentially a bespoke chassis with pretty much standard stuff for various other manufacturers that's been fettled with - so running costs are going to be driven by the base cost (i.e. Mondeo for engine/switchgear, Rover for wing mirrors, AP Racing for breaks, Bridgestone for tyres etc.)
