any specialists do this? rough costs?
very handy in the spanner depart so a self fit is more than likely.
so whats needed and rough secondhand costs.
car is a 318se 2006ci
would need leather too. are the seat wiring looms already to plug-in even on the lower spec models?

im not sure if the wiring loom is the same if you have non electric and heated seats or if they exist to retro fit but pretty much everything else is changeable to look like an m-sport. :thumbsup

also you will need to re title your thread with car description so others can help and be helped too.

You will be at it 'till doomsday - and it will leave you out of pocket.

- Front & rear spoilers, lowered and stiffened suspension, wider rear tyres/wheels, different alloys.
- Headlining, interior trim, seats, steering wheel.

Plus others....

Enjoy the SE and upgrade to an M-Sport later.

as said above it will take some time and money but i have seen people do a complete conversion but what 1 guy did was 1 part at a time. he started off with all the performance stuff first. brakes and wheels and suspension and what he did was get either new or good second hand parts and then either sold or part ex his SE stuff. he did this with everything that needed replacing and it ended up costing them less than £500 and took a duration over a few weeks but if you got the money up front you can buy it all in then sell your SE stuff later.

you will need a complete m-sport body kit plus colour coded trim.
m-sport suspension and alloys
m-sport interior. (seats,leather gators,handbreak and gear knob plus black roof lining, binical surround ect...)
all the badging. kick sills ect...
there are other parts that need replacing but you get the idea.

i thought it would be an e46 lol.
it just helps others help you and also to help others in the same situation as you with any questions asked and answered on the forum.
as you can imagine there are lots of E numbers on this site:hihi and there are specialists to each 1 so when you post in future make sure you put complete car model year and code and engine size so you get a answer and more specifically the right 1 too.:thumbsup
