I would agree that keeping it LHD would be easier

But the difference in insurance and risk of realising im on the wrong side of the road is enough for me.

My concern is the loom!! would i need to get a RHD loom for the interior? what about the bulkhead?? and the engine loom cause of the batt, steering coloum, servo, fusebox relocation?/

would this reduce value? or keep it?

just working out if its worth it as I can sell and buy a tt xr4i for nearly what itll cost to get it to the uk.

This is the one with the 2.3 Lima engine isn't it?

Isn't this the basis of the car that Andy Rouse used in the BTCC before the 3-door Cossie was homologated?
