seats are dead easy to swap over, so are bumpers if they are vaux items, & if you fit them yourself you'l save ???
you could try & find a mobile auto electritian in your area to fit the alarm, it cost me ?45 to get my alarm fitted on my old car & he fitted it on my driveway.

Do it yourself mate. And, unless it's 'mates' you won't really get anyone coming out to your house to do the work. And if you do find someone, then it won't be cheap as they'll want money for labour as well as a call-out fee/travel expenses. (Business idea - mobile car modification service. Though Ste_sa already does that in a way :lol: )

Seats - dead easy. Depends on which mounts you're using. The one's you got are mounted from underneath. You can get tailor made subframes from cobra for ?50 each. These fit straight in, you just need to drill some holes (watch out for fuel lines/cables etc - though you won't have to), then underseal it to stop rust.
If using original sub-frames, have two strips of metal welded onto them, then attach the cobra seats to those.

Bumper fitting - take it to a bodyshop if you're not that confident in your own abilities, as it may require some trimming/mounts moving to fit properly. Won't cost much as they won't really need painting again.

Custom ice - If you want a pro job, you will have to take your car to a reputable dealer. Or you can get people from this site to come help you out perhaps. Slim Jim? I'd recomment that you have a go yourself first though. It'll only cost a bit of money for mdf, filler, sanding paper and carpet.

Rear seats stripping and harnesses fitting - Do this yourself. DEAD easy! Look in the Haynes manual for removal of the rear seats (?14 from halfords if you don't have one). As for harnesses, are you fitting a rollcage/rear stru-brace? Attach it to that, or use the original seatbelt mounting points in the rear, with the original seatbelt mount bolts to attach the harnesses. (And the one's at the front by the door sill, and then there will be one at the side of the seat mounts).

Just try stuff yourself, if you encounter any probs, come on this site and ask for advice. And if you can get digital pics up, it'll make it even easier to get advice.

Good luck mate.

I know many people (in the West Midlands) who will come to your house, work etc and do as much as they can away from specialist tools.

Alarms, Body Panel Fitting, Tuning, Clutches, Tyres, list goes on


If I had the Money, I like to set one up that did all of that, and Batteries Exhausts, Valeting etc
