pretty straight forward for Ben, Stan and Jon to do, I'd never even attempt to tackle it. cheapest way I suppose is to fit it all yourself and then get an expert to map it, but you will almost certainly need a rad unless you want to start chopping up subframes etc lol.
I think the Jenvey kit will need the Megane head, the Willy one being used for the paired TB kits like the Webber ones... not 100% sure though. Will be worth it either way, but I'm surprised you are thinking of ITB's
The thing is that an ITB'd car should be no different in terms of reliability though, the only problems I have had have been the ECU, but the eprom was replaced and it's been fine since. I've almost had it a year and bar that the only problems I have had are replacing 2 engine sensors, a PAS leak and a split fuel line, but they were all standard Renault items. Only other costs have been optional by me... like alarm, tracker, anti-hijack etc etc and it's been almost a year since I bought it. I've done as of today 9k miles in it myself now and as a daily runner...
IMO if done well you could use it as a daily car and it would be no more or less reliable... my only gripe was the speed of which it goes through front tyres... Eagle F1 GSD 3's lasted 3500 miles... but tbh they really should have been replaced after about 2500-3000 miles, I was just loathed to do so after not having them on long...
If/when you get ITB's I'd seriously consider changing the suspension and getting it properly setup to run some camber etc, the PE2's have already lasted 5k with little to no wear at all so far and it grips more coming out of corners. Before it just lit up....
I drive sensibly 90% of the time... roads are usually too busy to piss around on.
Coilovers are only good if they are setup properly, mine weren't when I got the car. It was low as f**k and handled like crap, but they just needed setting up properly. When they are low I think they just need some more negative camber.
and wash your mouth out, PE2's are the daddy of tyres, cant fault them on this or the Williams
agree with Chris on the buying it already done, but you dont seem short of cash Ali, so I'd throw some on.
While they dont feel insanely fast the power delivery is very linear and deceptive imo. It wont ever have that turbo feeling you get from something like a 300zx

I've not got a job...so cash it used sensibly. Although it's about to get silly again!
Nah if a Tb'd motor like martin's came by i'd be interested.
Jon, i wasn't screaming like a little girl!...I was just being me! lol
