I seriously doubt that the full C43 exhaust system would fit your car. Yours is a 4 cylinder, the C43 was a V8, and would likely have a y-split near the first catalytic converter. Your best bet for an exhaust would be to buy something that had similar exhaust tips to a C43 system and have that welded onto your exhaust in place of what it currently has.

As for the other parts, I would do what Nthfinity suggested and attempt to get ahold of parts via junkyards. Your car shares the same basic platform as the C43, so I imagine that many of the parts may simply bolt into place. You'll need side-skirts, a body-colored moulding along the doors, a new front fascia and grille, and the rear bumper along with the appropriate alloys and exhaust tips.

Good luck!
