It depends on the Rand/Dollar exchange rate at the time of purchase. With the Paypal currency conversion fee it came to R396.58. The shipping was free. I chose that particular seller as he has over 10,000 sales with over 99% positive rating. You might need to ask him if he can source a white simtray and usb door for you though as the item is just for the white chassis.

Customs did charge me about R30-R40, I cant quite remember exactly how much. Its definitely not more than R80. I haven't swapped the chassis as yet as the damage to my current chassis is not really that bad. An excellent video to disassemble and re-assemble can be found here.

This particular seller does include small star, T4 torx and T5 torx screwdrivers as well as a triangular prying tool to remove the screen. I've included a pic of them below. The T4 torx screwdriver is magnetised but I think the problem screws at the usb/simtray covers that Dared is talking about are T5.

Offtopic: If you're on Vodacom check out this link to usb tether your phone with WIndows 7. Speed using joikuspots built in hotspot is pathetic.
