I'd still check up on the legalities of JDM size plates/bumpers just to be on the safe side, you wouldn't want to factor in the potential cost of fines too.

How much would it work out for a bumper in colour Lee?
They're not brand new bumpers so would be sourced second hand in the US then shipped across. I'd take it as being in colour a mega bonus. Initial costs seem to be around $220 for the bumper and shipping would vary dependant on numbers. im struggling to think what other parts from the US could be used on a UK model
You can buy brand new bumpers in the States for around $240

However, by the time you pay shipping, VAT, tax and have it painted

you can probably buy a factory painted/perfect colour match JDM rear bumper from Honda in the UK for roughly the same price

all you would need is the part number or a friendly Honda parts manager.

Might be worth asking Si for a quote before going down the import route?

Chris.

S2000 and NSX bumpers do not come ready painted from Honda, you have to get them painted after they've been delivered.

I have Chris, I've bought a rear bumper from Honda and I was told that the NSX and S2000 do not come pre-painted, all other Honda's do.

This thread is not about UK rear bumpers though, is it?
