GT spore - square dashboard est rm3.5-4kGTi spore cultus - round dashboard est rm4-4.5kJDM cultus - more than rm4.5k(BUT you can get it cheaper by follow up with halfcut agent at japan/spore)..some guys get it at rm3k at kepong.2. conversion cost - rm1.5k3. 15" rim needed cause the gti need bigger rim to stabilize ets rm1k4. engine service - timng belt-clutch plate-filter-brake pad-plug-oil etc est rm1k5.with your new body kits, you need to respray est rm1k6. interior - seat est rm 800 complete 7. door panel - if you use cultus - rm 600 - 8008. rear spoiler - top and middle - fiber rm 400 (halcut = rm 800)9. side skirt - fiber - rm180 (halfcut = rm350)10. exhaust piping 1.75" pipe and muffler est rm400 at wei yip.rough calculation, reach rm11.5kif you just convert and run, you need rm 3.5k+1.5k, rim 1.5k + piping rm400 is already rm7kall this is not include a wear and tear..somtimes it cost more that you expected.e.g aircond set (recond compressor-cooling coil-condensor) rm1kradiator - CV joint - fuel pump - braking - power steering - engine mounting -top overhaul - sensors..(this is expensive) etc..you might spare another rm2-3k a perfect conversion now already reach rm15k and you ready to go.used gti at the market now selling at the cheapest rm10k..mostly spore engine model.good running std JDM cultus, they offer rm12k - 15kmoded gti will cost more.</blockquote>
