The red tape I bought for the 12 o'clock position on the steering wheel. That was $1.99 and I've still got enough left to do at least another ten steering wheels. It's a close call though, as for honorable mention: I bought a Harbor Freight Moving Blanket for the back seat area. No expense spared. $4.23 as I recall.

If it has to be Porsche branded . . . probably the Clear Front Turn Signals.

Old-school wooden pencils with black lead at the Porsche Museum. Couple of Euro each. It's a "genuine" Porsche-branded item rather than something inexpensive I've bought for my Porsche.

How did you turn it to red? How can it stick on your leather wheel? Thank you

Cut a 3/8" wide strip. Wrap the steering wheel, overlapping the tape by about 1/4 turn, then use a trim tool or a credit card to tuck the edges in.
Search Amazon for: <3M 2080 G13 GLOSS HOT ROD RED 3in x 5in (SAMPLE SIZE) Car Wrap Vinyl Film>.

Cheapest item I bought were toy Porsche 911s (about $9 each I think?) for my kids, when we were visiting the store at the dealership

As far as the cheapest thing I've bought FOR my car, besides gas, it would be new black gloss lettering in the rear. I changed from the stock silver lettering shortly after buying my car. That still ended up costing in the hundreds of dollars.
