Hi there

I'm considering the import of a UK Clio Williams, from the Uk to Portugal. Then I would have to convert it to LHD. :twisted:
Do you think that this conversion is possible?
What parts besides the dashboard, and steering elements would I have to change? :roll:

Thanks in advance :wink:

the bulk head would need cutting, wiring loom changing.

is there much point? just keep it as RHD?

Yes I know that maybe its complicated, but in terms of overtaking in Portugal, the RHD setup is a bit dangerous.
Just have the mesure the pros and cons... :roll:

Becausde the clio williams in the Uk have killer prices!!!!! :shock:
Very good indeed!!!

I dont know, but do you think that is possible to find a Williams with LHD in the Uk!???

Remember me if you see one of those lefties for sale :wink: :twisted:

Do you think that the conversion is an expensive job??

Thanks for all the feedback

It would defo be easier and cheaper i'd have thought, to just6 buy a left hooker to start with

In Portugal theres not even one for sale.
The last one I saw it cost more or less... 6800 pounds...

Do you think its not worth the import and conversion!?

I found some cars in Italy and 2 in germany, 1 in France, just waiting for some answers :roll:

Again, if you know of something with lhd in the uk let me know!!!! :twisted:
