It's probably good information for anyone else thinking about doing their own conversion versus having a conversion done - its all the little things that begin to add up....

And as a p-plater, will your insurance company still cover you (I'm assuming at a massive price hike!)? I know back in the early days insuring a "grey import" (180SX) was a bloody pain in the ass and I wasn't even a p-plater........fairly run of the mill these days though.
