I copied this from the sales document.

To supply the conversion kit to R2 specification in gravel or tarmac: £29680 / 0,85 = 34918 €
To strip standard LHD road car & install above mentioned conversion kit: £10000 / 0,85 = 11765 €
To prepare standard bodyshell to R2 specification: £2000 / 0,85 = 2353 €
To paint car interior and underbonnet: £1800 / 0,85 = 2118€
To supply LHD 1.0ltr Ford Fiesta standard road car: £11500 / 0,85 = 13529 €

Labor costs: 11765+2353+2118 = 16236 €
R2 total: Donor car + labor cost = 13529 + 16236 = 29765 €
R2 total + R4 kit = 29765 + 108000 = 137765 €

What’s still is missing is modifying the bodyshell for 4WD. How many workhours would this modification require?

For the R2 the whole car can be used unlike with the R4-kit leaving lot of excessive parts but the parts could be sold as spare parts. The kit price for the DS3 R3T is 77500 € and kit with included standard car parts 82900 € which mean 5400 € for the standard parts.

Difference between the R4 kit and DS R3 MAX kit, 108000 – 77500 = 30500 €. Is it enough for the 4WD parts? In realty the money that could be used is bigger because some of the R3 parts would be removed from the kit and replaced with the 4WD parts.
