If you want to upgrade or not is up to you, and depends on whether you are trying to get it running again for yourself, or just fixing it to sell it on.
Personally unless you find an original Kyosho carbon chassis I would stick with picking up a second hand chassis either on it's own or find a well worn Mid on ebay. Both will be cheaper than the Fibrelyte chassis. I would also consider asking FibreLyte how much a chassis is CSC composite would be.
Considering your car is a bit of a mongrel it definitely isn't worth as much as a perfect original example as it's half a Mid and half a Lazer. I have picked up several good condition Mids to use as spare parts for my runners for £20-30, only perfect examples sell for lots of money. If you add the Fibrelyte parts you won't get anywhere near £60 more for it just because it has those parts.
The chassis on ebay right now is the Mid Custom one. It is an alloy chassis, but still a direct fit. Wouldn't be my first choice of replacement though.
