OK, so mine cracked a few years ago, and like me you probably found out that Honda have stopped supplying them. Eventually I bought a pattern one online from Japan, and got some relatives to pack and airfreight it to the UK. A thread on it is here http://www.u-ukhbc.co.uk/vbb/showthr...ght=windscreen and three years after getting it fitted I've had zero issues with it. Getting it properly boxed up, sent across, and clearing import was a massive pita. It might be worth asking one of the Japanese parts suppliers if they would receive it in Japan, box and send it to you.Quote:

Hi. I ordered one from nugen from Japan. Paid a fortune to air freight. Only to find they packed it in a cardboard box... Funnily enough it arrived aty front door in small pieces... I am still after one.. so I don't mind going halves on shipping if your not too far from Bournemouth...

Not sure if you still looking for a windscreen?
It might be worth checking with Torque GT who are a JDM specialist based in Devon. They just ordered for me a carbon fibre bonnet and Saito 4 point roll bar for my Beat (both bulky awkward items) from Japan and were significantly cheaper than if I tried to ship it myself.
They buy a lot of cars and spares from Japan so I am guessing if anyone here in the UK can get you one and ship it over safely it might be them.
Thanks I will look into torque gt
I got mine through JDM Garage in Devon. They will buy from yahoo.jp for you and import it in a container. In total it cost me about £320 and took 3 1/2 months to get here. Don't forget to get a new rubber surround (73151-SS1-003) as this will be destroyed getting the old one out
Just to conclude on this thread. Yes Torque GT were great. I provided the information on where to purchase the windscreen in Japan and they sorted the rest. Took around 4-6months to arrive in the UK but only cost £200 all in. Need to go and collect it though so make sure you have a big enough car.
