myself Kevin Wood, Lazydocker amongst others have fitted the stag front end kit. Rear end, i have as you describe, a donut tank in the spare wheel well, which is more expensive than the bigger capacity cylinders the others have across the back seats.
Lazydocker will be along with supplier details no doubt. Or pm him if you wish. Iirc its about 800 plus with an upright donut(tyroidal)tank. 700 odd with a cylinder. Something like that anyway.

The kit works very well. But has a small hic up at the top end around 6k as mine stands at the moment that affects the drive by wire cars.(3.2 and 2.6) no biggy as its not often driven in that range, but just to make you aware.

Another recommendation for the Stag kit. :y

Regarding doughnut tanks you need a vertical toroidal tank. Most are designed for horizontal mounting and aren't suitable. I'm sure chrisgixer can confirm the type that fits the saloon. Very neat it looks too.

EDIT: the above assumes you have a saloon. On the estate you don't need a vertical tank, obviously.

I wouldn't buy the one from ebay as it's not a full Stag kit :y :y :y Plus you only get the components for that price... No pipework etc :y

I'll PM you the details of our supplier.

Oh.... ANd another vote for the Stag kit :y :y
