i got a JDM, and i love it 
lol
i got that half leather seats though, but i got a hell of a bargin so im going to have them recoverd, and still save money over bying a uk version.
im not sure about things lie bulbs etc, will be interested on knowing. used to own an import del sol, and i had to get h4h bulbs instead of h4 and they were a right pain to get hold off. so maybe the import s is the same?

im 22 with No NCB,
im main driver,
my dad is "occasional driver"
my sis is on the policy to, putting her on as Dr Donovan brought the price down loads!
we've got a multicar insurance quote with a KA, Punto, SLK320, MX5, and Elise 111R which also helps to bring it down alot.
i had some stupid quotes, but the multicar thing with admril is brilliant.

Aye I had a few online quotes around that mark, didn't half come down after 4th year NCB, but that doesn't kick in till late March.
Any negative points, or at least 'common faults' to keep an eye out for? Are the hoods ok for wear and tear?

No, they're not ok really. 
They're prone to tears in a couple of places. Where the hood meets the body behind the passenger window. And sort of above your right shoulder where the mechanism rubs against it.
I've just had mine replaced because of this problem.
