The most expensive car accessories

Part of the fun of purchasing a new car is personalising it with add-ons and choosing your accessories. But of course, the pricier the car, the pricier the accessories are. When buying a car priced in excess of £100,000, it can be easy to double your spending with expensive extras. 

To give you a glimpse into high-end luxury living, here at Octane Finance we’ve found 10 of the craziest-priced car accessories available to wealthy car enthusiasts. Some of them are jaw-droppingly expensive, so are they worth it? Take a look and decide…

*Prices updated and correct as of October 2024. 

Key Takeaways:

• Luxury car accessories can cost as much as a small flat, with some priced over £100,000!
• Practical accessories like extra seats or custom luggage can still come with hefty price tags.
• Aesthetic upgrades such as carbon fibre bodies or gold racing stripes are among the most expensive options.
• Interior details like custom leather work or fibre-optic light displays can significantly increase a car's cost.
• Even small accessories like keys or watches can cost tens of thousands of pounds when designed for luxury cars.
• The appeal of expensive car accessories lies in exclusivity, craftsmanship, and status.

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous: Practical but Pricey Car Accessories

We're easing you into the most expensive car accessories with our first two examples. Their practicality almost makes these accessories justifiable! Although, we could argue that the same practicalities can be found for a fraction of the cost, are they as good? You know what they say; you pay for what you get!

Extra Tesla Car Seats for £3,200

Tesla owners may be tempted by this add-on that is available for the Model Y. Priced at £3,200* for a row of two additional seats, these turn the Tesla from a standard five-seater to a seven-seater model by squeezing in an extra row at the back of the car. Of course, extra seats mean a compromise on the space available in the cabin, so it's worth some considerable thought first. 

Matching BMW Louis Vuitton Luggage for £20,000

In partnership with BMW, designer Louis Vuitton has created a luggage set that is perfectly shaped and sized for the BMW i8. Perfect for car-crazy high-flyers, the set priced at approximately £20,000* consists of a business case, a garment bag, and two different travel bags. They fit comfortably into various compartments of the BMW i8 to optimise its rather limited storage space.

Extravagantly Priced Exterior Aesthetic Car Accessories

Expensive cars are designed to be shown off and these exterior add-ons take the wow factor one step further, but at what cost?

A Pagani Carbon Fibre Body for £150,000

Pagani is the ultimate choice in Italian supercar luxury, so it's no surprise that the manufacturer charges the price of a small flat when it comes to accessories. A carbon fibre wrap for the Pagani Huayra will set you back a whopping £150,000*! This striking optional finish adds an extra 12% in torsional rigidity, but we think the main benefit is the brag factor.  

A Koenigsegg Gold Racing Stripe for £40,000

Sports car superfans probably won't be too shocked at the price of accessories for the Koenigsegg Jesko. As one of the fastest cars in the world, a gold leaf racing stripe will set you back a cool £40,000* to add a bit of bling.

Bugatti Veyron's Fuel Cap for £100,000

Believe it or not, a replacement fuel cap for the Bugatti Veyron can cost up to £100,000*. Made from solid platinum and adorned with diamonds, it's perhaps the most expensive way to top up your tank! 

Immoderate Interior Detail Car Accessories

If it's luxury you want, then expensive taste needs to be evident on the inside too. The interior add-ons we've found have absolutely no functionality when it comes to driving a car, but boy, do they look the part!

Get the Porsche Luxury Leather Look for £6,000

How much leather can you fit into one Porsche? Well, for the right price - a hell of a lot! For £750 you can add leather sun visors, door sill guards for £2,750, plus leather air vent slats which will set you back another £2,500*!

Rolls-Royce Night-Time View for £15,000

You'll be seeing stars even during the day thanks to Rolls-Royce. The luxury car maker has developed the ultimate opulent interior for its Rolls-Royce Wraith. They've produced a 1,340 fibre-optic light display set within the roof if you can spare the extra £15,000*.

Bentley Rotating Display for £50,000

Bentley offers a rotating display in some of its models, which allows drivers to switch between a touchscreen, analogue dials, or a plain veneer face. This James Bond-esque feature costs a jaw-dropping £50,000*. 

All-Too Tempting Tiny Trinket Car Accessories

Looking for more subtle ways to splash the cash? Check out these little gems which will set you back a pretty penny. But you know what they say - if you've got it, flaunt it!

Diamond Studded Ferrari Key for £22,000 

Not settling for second best, Ferrari owners can show off their success thanks to diamond-studded car keys that double as a keyring too. Well, why not? The ultimate in blingy accessories will set you back £22,000* for 1,160 encrusted diamonds. 

The Aston Martin Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX7 Chronograph Watch for £25,000

Watch fans will be drooling at the temptation Aston Martin provides its wealthy customers. Move over James Bond, Aston Martin owners can have their own 007 moment too by unlocking the car with their watch - yes, really! Not just a one-trick pony, the £25,000* Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX7 Chronograph wonder watch also turns on the headlights to make your already stand-out car even easier to find in the car park. Now that's quite a gadget! 

Why Are Expensive Car Accessories So Appealing?

Luxury car accessories command such high prices for several reasons:

1. Exclusivity: These accessories are often produced in limited quantities, making them rare and highly desirable among wealthy enthusiasts.
2. Craftsmanship: Many of these items are handcrafted using the finest materials, justifying their high cost with superior quality and attention to detail.
3. Brand Association: Accessories from prestigious brands like Louis Vuitton or Jaeger-LeCoultre carry their own cachet, adding to the overall luxury experience.
4. Customisation: Well-off car owners often seek to make their vehicles unique, and these accessories offer a way to stand out from the crowd.
5. Status Symbol: Owning such expensive accessories is a way to display wealth and success to some.
   Engineering and Innovation: Some accessories, like carbon fibre bodies or advanced display systems, incorporate cutting-edge technology and materials.
