Ino there are afew bits that needs changing ie battry to the back, Bonnet, Loom, Gearbox!

i talked to 1320 auto they helped me out once. when i emailed back a few times i didnt get anything back, i was told from them to get the gear selector( assembly+cables and mounting+hardware) i found that i also needed to get alternator brackets, and relocate my battery or intake, i'm not sure yet, my mini is in the shop right now having the "s" surgery. its getting to be a little expensive. (i blew my non-s up) like 1320auto said you better love you mini or just trade it in for an s. i am not done but i am guessing around 7-9k to have it done (labor @85hr) but i am in california
