Hi. Can anybody give me a rough indication of cost for this please? I'm sure I'm not the first to consider doing it. And if anyone's done it with a motorhome, that would be helpful, as I'm looking to convert that as well as my car. I've a feeling it won't be cheap.

f your motorhome has the door on the left you wont be able to convert it....but consider the cost of new headlights, reversing lights, possible import duty and taxes...our 5 yr old megane was going to cost 1800 ...and youre still left with a RHD car ! We bought Spain in the end!

Hola I bought a 2015 Clio in the Uk

In the end I gave up trying to import it over to Spañish

It needed to have the lights repaced front and rear, then the ITV the cost had started to go over €2,000 with legal work

As I paid 6300 pound for the car last March, drive to Spaiñ in it (cost aprox 250) then I have used it for 8 months

on trade in in the UK it was worth 4500, so doing some sums I manged a swop (with €500 refund) on a Merc S240
