The company i used for the front lip doesnt seem to exist any more but it was Solomon Brothers from Singapore.

The mugen kit was from my local Honda dealer who were an authorised dealer at the time of purchase.

There will be many suppliers from Malaysia, Taiwan, HK etc who would sell you the kit but naturally the shipping will be expensive- usually the same amount as the kit itself!

Happy to answer further questions- just drop me a PM

Just going right back to the beginning of the thread and the K & N panel air filter. Would you recommend it and do you know if it would count as a mod for insurance purposes?

I have a K&N filter in my 1.4 GE and, frankly, I wouldn't spend the money on it. There is possibly a slight improvement in performance but only at high revs when the engine is sucking lots of air and if you don't rev your engine very highly during normal driving then don't bother. It has no effect on my fuel consumption. The K&N's other attribute is it's long life.
I cannot see an insurance company being bothered by fitting one.

As Vic said, the only real benefit of the K & N over oem is you can wash it and recharge it as oppose to getting the oem replaced every so often.

There is a slight better induction noise if you like that sort of thing and I declare all my mods but not sure what insurance company would say

So does the panel air filter give the induction noise
I've only found that the cone style ones change the noise

A slightly odd thing about the 1.4 GE is the position and design of the engine air intake.
It is immediately in front of the front passenger, under the bonnet of course. There is then a gap between the air intake and the air duct attached to the bonnet that runs to the front of the bonnet area.
The gap must be why, in my opinion, induction noise is quite loud. Wind the engine up to 6000 rpm and it really howls.

Enjoyed reading through your build. Looking for coilovers for my 2012 Si but only ones I can find in UK are Bilstein, did you import the Cusco's? If so can I ask where you sourced them?

Thanks

J
