Conversion & Precisions kit is about £270+Vat and RPI's is about £360+Vat.  The details and list of what's included is on their websites.

The modified oil pump cover for the remote oil filter from the likes of Merlin Motorsport or Think Automotive is about £100.

I got all my bits separately and a lot cheaper second hand but I made up my own engine mounts to the proper dimensions which I managed to obtain.

I also didn't bother with the modified spigot bush but instead used a modified gearbox input shaft.

Another alternative is to get a take-off plate instead of the pump cover.  These screw on to where the filter goes with a couple of side-facing ports for the hoses to the remote head.

These can be had for around 25 quid from the motorsport people, with the remote filter head being around 15 quid.

That's what I've used but I've no idea where to get them from as mine was second-hand.  It's very similar to the replacement pump cover but is just an aluminium block rather than the fancy cast cover.  I guess it's probably cheaper to buy as well  :)

The sandwich/take-off plates that replace just the oil filter are no good as they stick off the pump too far.

Some people have also been known to use a Renault 5 oil fiter which is very short, screwed onto the original oil pump but again you run the risk of hitting it with the diff.

I think that the only way to be sure that the diff isn't going to hit the oil filter is to use a replacement pump cover of some sort, a FC101 pump assembly or the angled adapter that C & P supply in their kit.
