I asked this a while ago, answer is yes. Cars were fitted with aircon after arriving in the UK by dealers. Retro fitting is therefore not a problem as they were all effectively retro fitted. My local main dealer quoted me £995 inc. I believe all the units were fitted by one company (Coolair?) so maybe if you contact them direct you could get a better price. Alternatively of course you could try a reputable breaker. Hope this helps.

Brendy, I got A/C fitted 1 year after buying the car.
It cost £1000 from my dealer.
My advice is get it ASAP in order to get your moneys worth from it

Sounds good but if I went with the cheap option of a breakers yard how difficult/expensive would it be to fit??
Thanks for info.
