hello and welcome.
Unless you are planning to buy brand new parts off Honda, I would say your only hope is to get them off all these breakers off eBay. Maybe you will even find one in your car's colours so will save you from getting a full respray..
Plenty of sports and others listed but you can try ringing your local breakers as it might save you shipping.

If you are really keen on doing it, just wait until a sport shows up for breaking on eBay or Gumtree and get the whole lot off it (front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, spoiler)

I am sure you are aware that this will affect your insurance as these will count as modifications  even if these are factory parts.

To be honest, I thought about doing this myself but then realized that buying the Sport itself will be the cheapest solution.

Why not just get a decent set of alloys and leave the rest standard? I assume lowering it is to try and improve the looks as lowering the suspension will worsen the ride quality and I wouldn't have thought the car powerful enough to make much improvement on the handling. Whatever you spend you are unlikely to get back when you come to sell.

Completely different market imo

Jazz is still seen as an "old person" car so young people prefer not to be attached to that stigma. 

Also, the other factor is there isnt much readily available mods for the Jazz for those who want to mod the Jazz (like myself) so will have to source it from outside the UK at great expense

I agree with you garyman one of  reason why i want to mods my jazz is because here in UK alot of old people use it and i go to lot of car shows so i want to show people that not only civic or other car that can be modified all so jazz you dont really see jazz in car shows either :)
Do you know any place i can buy mods like body kit for  my jazz bud?

Theres a small group of us that has modded our Jazz and most of the parts were sourced by Matt at Injection Imports which werent cheap as I've mentioned before.

We met last year at Bluewater Mimms and were able to get inside slot as as you said, you dont see much modded Jazz.








I've noticed a company on ebay selling a replica Mugen kit so maybe worth a try ?  Not sure on fitment though.

My Mugen kit was sourced through my local honda dealer who were authorised reseller of Mugen Europe which costed me a fortune
