There are plenty enough of them in Europe.

Importing one is hardly a tough job.

I'd be a touch windy about bolting in a 2.0 bottom end using the standard exhaust - it's very close clearances on the downpipe.  you may find that a 15mm lift on the block is enough to screw things up for the alignment of the pipe - there's plenty of stuff for it to rub on.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.
