Where to buy JDM parts from the UK?

Fellas, who is able to supply JDM parts and accessories (for Spec C, S204 etc) from the UK and have worldwide shipping?

I know Litchfield sells and maintains JDM cars, but do they sell parts?

I always use JapanParts.com - they are Japan based but very good!

They are pricey as the exchange rate isn't so good at the moment. I've just found a genuine S202 spoiler in there for £1065 (plus shipping and import duty/VAT etc)

I think some parts are cheaper to source from the UK due to the exchange rate?

I was quoted a much better price from RCM 2 years ago for Group N bushings as opposed to getting them direct from Japan.

Many of the importers who have older stock bought in before the exchange rate went stupid may be able to beat japanparts.com, but a lot only order in stuff when they have a buyer, so unlikely to save anything.
