I'm just after a bit of pricing advice, I have a 318is that I will probably be keeping (in the process of stripping it down and tidying it at the moment) but storage is a bit of a pain in the arse and being unemployed I need cash for sweets and penny whistles and hard drugs or whatever it is kids these days spend their pocket money on, so I'm trying to get a sense of what I get for breaking it as it'd likely be more than the value of the complete car. These are rouh guesses so letting me know if they're under or over priced would be appreciated. The stuff is currently NOT for sale so no "the engine is worth £5 bro, I'll take it off you" please. I'll be as honest as possible with the descriptions. Sorry if these threads are common, but I cant find all these on ebay. Everything decent qualiy unless otherwise specified.
front bumper - £25
fogs (one a bit cracked) - £10
headlights (a bit cloudy but will be tidied up) - £25
lip (not an iS lip, the shallow one) - £5
grills - £15
kidneys - £10
indicators - £15
horn - £5
wings - £40

fuse box - £15

pas bottle - £5
wheels (Style 10s 15" with Pirellis with a lot of meat on them) - 150
Shell (very tidy, a few random rust spots but all being repaired and painted, slight dent in floor) - £150-200 depending on how mint I make it, potentially flawless.
Thats everything I can think of, probably missing some. Apologies for spelling mistakes, it's copied from a hurriedly written spreadsheet.
Thanks a lot.
Pricing help.

With a bit of research on here, you will be able to find prices for everything on your list from previous posts.

Yeah that's fair, I have a good idea for the most part from snooping on other threads and just generally knowing what shit's worth, but some prices are pretty variable like the interior and engine and I'm just after a "yeah thats a decent price" or "you'll never get that" etc. etc. How do you think it looks?

Everything looks pretty spot on to be honest. The rear trailing arms, assuming its a disc sort will be more, I usually sell them for £70-100, but thats not an instant sale and only when someone is looking. Like majority of it, its just bits that sit until needed rather than bits people will buy just because its there

seems reasonable, but then it comes down to actualy selling them, ok thiking of breaking it and looking at all them figures thinking your quids in, but its actualy selling a lot of it
pair of bumpers for example@£50 ... well worth it to anyone needing a pair and if right color for them, but they would cost more to post and are a pick up only item really, you probably wont be able to give them away and have them sat around forever

Editted to add the shell. Good point Polsta, I was thinking that anything like that which turned out hard to sell would just go with the shell for an extra couple of quid.
