You probably could but it wouldn't be cost-effective. You'd be better off selling your car and buying a T6.

+1. The expense would far outweigh the benefits, unless you are just a glutton for punishment and want to go through the mess.

To be honest the thought has crossed my mind once or twice but honestly isnt worth it... with that extra cost I can easily get my hands on a good t6...
or maybe even throw in some more and rock a s60r
