The cost of the conversion was roughly £5500 from Regal Autosport in Southampton.
As for letting the fiberglass settle, I now have a few bits that could do with a little tinkering. the weight of the fiberglass, plus driving at speed, I guess have moved things slightly.
Also over the winter, the fiberglassed parts on one side, where the old mirror used to be are showing slightly. All small things that only I would notice, but will eventually need a respray.
The cost of the insurance was no different as it is classed as a kit car, and therefore unique.
I hope this information is of some help.
Regards,
Lumpy.

£5.5k wow that is some investment, you must have really been sold on that.
