Go ask on 205GTiDrivers, although TBH most people on there are doing their own cars.

These guys will do it - I have no experience of their work but he seemed a clued up chap on the phone;

And I'm told these folks will do it as well:

http://www.xsportracing.com/

X-sport came very highly recommended from a few people.

Also contact Miles Horne through 'drivers' he used to work at X-sport.
He converted my car a few years back.

GTI-6 seems to be the way to go drakart, although i'm currently doing an Mi conversion in the garage.

Also talk to these guys - http://www.205parts.com/ - in Kibworth, Leicester. I'm not sure they takig on Mi conversions anymore unless you can supply a donor car but they'd be happy to do a GTi-6 and/or advise on anything else 205 related, they've been very helpful to me.

Either on your driveway or suitable garage space. It really is a very simple conversion. Just the loom that requries a little patience.
