Author Topic: COST OF MIRROR CONVERSION C5 & C6 (Read 9501 times)

Does anyone know what is the current cost of converting a C5 and/or C6 to RHD?

In 2004/2005 'ish', I polled a couple of RAWs and was quoted about $35,000.... noting that one of them seems to have gone broke.

Also at the time a C4 cost about $15,000 for a flat dash mirror (i.e. thats what my C4 cost) and $25,000 for a late C4 asymmetric dash mirror conversion.... at the time the extra $10,000 for the RAWS conversion was put down to the RAWS accreditation overheads.

Someone has subsequently suggested to me that the cost is now about $70,000.... which I found incredible to believe considering the task basically remains the same, but.... I want to confirm this....

...Since like most, I like to dream a little BUT with the facts.... as they can make dreams achievable. :-)

Wow. When I looked into a conversion on a ZR1 a few years back I was quoted $26K and another "$6K or so" to allow for RAWS. Mind you I am sure it would have blown out past that figure.

As for the $70K figure, that's quite something... ;40

;ayThe cost of a conversion on a C5 or C6 is $42,500.00 + G.S.T.
With the compliance plate. This means that all that is required after that is what the RTA require in your state, For example in NSW it would be a blue slip, green slip and what the RTA fee is

hi Stingray,

that is a pretty competitive price.... do you know who is doing it for $29,000? Is that the GST inclusive price uder the RAWS or is it being undertaken as a 'Personal Import' conversion and hence less costly? And finally, do you know if it is a full mirror conversion?

$29k!!! If thats drive in/out, thats sensational pricing.

Even though there is alot of work to be done on a conversion, its hard to justify paying $30k+. plus it seems to be going up and up each year to a point it wont be worth the expense converting vehicles.

Bring back the 15yr lhd rule I say & keep enthusiasts happy.
