pop up lights - $5-600 depending on condition and if they come with the motors
honeycomb grill - $100
rear lights - $150 from ebay
rear boot plastic - $150
this is a rough guide, just have a look on ebay for calais part and go from there..
If you wanted to convert it to a Calais properly, it'd be cheaper and easier to just buy a Calais. Also there's like a million of these threads on here, just search for them.
Also, don't just do the front and back, it'll look bad without the right side moulds etc and then you'll probably want to do the interior as well...
And you would also want to track down a set of Calais mags to complete it
but as CYNICL said, try and do the finer touches (side badges, rear garnishes and badges etc), do it once and do it right
Agree with Aus880:
Cant beat a real calais.
I built a mock up and it was good but then i sold it and bought a calais because i miss the feel.
Now i want to build a bt1 white with MX grey plastics, like the one i used to build the calais out of......Funny that lol
