It's always easier and cheaper buying the car than converting one to the other. Your kit is interchangeable so that should not cause any woes and yellow is a unique colour so will appeal to someone out there. I would advise get the car sorted and sell it as it is because it is more appealing and will sell faster. Then get a turbo model and enjoy!

So, let's get this straight...
Having made an extremely borderline, possibly fraudulent, compensation claim to obtain the money in the first place you now want to chisel a few more quid off by getting some half assed back street spanner monkey to fit it. No doubt you'll want pay cash to avoid paying VAT (and getting any kind of warranty for the poor workmanship). Then, when it fails after 50 miles no doubt there will be another post where you play the victim, saying you've been cheated and can't get your money back.
There really is no end to your dodgy dealings is there?

From memory I had an uprated clutch supplied and fitted at API for £450 + VAT.
The one before that cost me nearly £900
