    Make a vid?? :)

    Have a look in my thread to see the rear diffuser if you want. Give you a good idea on how it looks.

    ok ok..thats a decent list :p

    some of those things break my 'spend a lot in one go' rule that i mentioned above haha

    and that diffuser thingy sorta worries me with the whole 'not fitting right' and some tend to sag' comments ive seen on here

    It's just plastic - if it does sag, it's won't be hard to adjust - and you can always put the old one back on in a pinch.

    Catch cans aren't pricey and you can fit them yourself - just a bit of extra insurance for your motor.

    Not sure how much Alcantara fabric is, but I can't see it costing the earth to trim the dash and door skins in - will find out and let you know! (actually, Bonners might know - he's started doing it to his)

    couple hundred for brake lines

    vinyl - worth every red cent!!!

    sway bars are pretty reasonably priced (straight to the top of the list!)

    steering wheel is around $400

    Urethane seems pricey, but you can do it in stages - suggest rear void bushes, control arm, strut top and sway bar bushes asap.

    ok, so the diff, the seats and the manual conversion are a touch pricey...

    The Driven Colour stickers are obviously priceless - you have to know people to get them

    Yep - from memory, Greg is selling them for around $260 each, which is a bargain!

    Grab the adjustable ones from Greg - That way you can set them to have more rear or front bias, depending how pointy you like your car.

    You can get away with just the front bars, but it will understeer a bit (does now anyway though).

    I didn't use true Alcantara but the fake suede I used cost me $15/m and was about 1.5m wide. Perfect to use

    wow that's ALOT cheaper than Alcantara. Where did you find that? Also, did you pad out the hard plastics or just cover them directly? I've been looking at doing this for SOOOOOOO long!

    Was really easy. Just a good spray adhesive and take your time.

    Mine came from Spotlight of all places. Let me know if you cant find any. My local Spotlight had two rolls of it and had just got in. Maybe I should go and buy both rolls....lol
