I was able to fit my coil overs without too much bother actually, so if your capable you might want to give it a go yourself, then save the pennies for keeping it on the road.
I expect doing everything apart from the dash to be as expected (eg not that bad) - but i bet the dash is a bigger job, so much mounts to it! i suspect its heavy, and you'll need a lot of room around the car to manouver it out without damaging it (or the red one). I suspect a helper would be required aswell...
I'm not very technical to be honest! Well I am, but not with mechanical stuff
plus I'm getting new tyres this month and when the coilovers fitted I want all the geometry sorted too so I'd rather it all be done professionally tbh
that way I don't need to worry haha!!
The interior though on the other hand is something I'd look to do myself

Removing the interior is very easy. Even the dash.
I have had it out so many times a complete interior strip can be done within an hour.
The dash is fine. Just lower the steering column, remove airbag, vents, radio glove box etc etc.
Then its just a load of 12mm bolts dotted everywhere. Then push the wiring loom clips out of the way and the dash slides out. Any resistance means you have missed something. Not heavy either. 10kg maybe in its bare form.
In an hour? That's not bad going to be honest, I thought it would take a lot longer than that
hopefully I can get the whole thing done in a few hours then. I'm going to pick the red interior up at the end of the month. Need to hire a van for it... 4 hour drive as well
