Lets say engine is £500

AS for conversion kits, i found modifying the engines mounts etc.... cheaper, Brakes, £200 seems alot if your going for aftermarket but i used 2.5 V6 cally ones, a set cost me £120, thats drilled and grooved discs brand new brembos, and a set of decent pads, also i bought some spiggots which helped !
Whats bits and bobs ?

sorry if it sounds like im picking but im trying to be helpfull
