pm sent on how to upload pictures.
from what i know, i don't think there is a difference between the front bumpers of china jazz and australia jazz.
but there is indeed a different in the front bumpers between pre f/l models (2002-2004) and the post f/l ones (2005)

shipping is still a problem. i'm not sure how to go about with the shipping. but i have a friend who is working in china and i've asked him to help me enquire about the shipping. he's currently back in singapore and he'll let me know the details once he goes back to china. i'll keep you posted on this issue.
the price of axis styling from aoli is about aud$600+ (cant remember the exact figure) and the price excludes painting and shipping.
i worry about painting as well as i'm not sure if they can match to the vivid blue. david got his eye lids from aoli and the black painting was different to the jazz. they only have the black used for accord euro. so maybe i might need to bring the kit in and get someone to paint it in brisbane for me.
i am not sure when i will be getting the kits. maybe not so fast. need to save up for the kit. may sound a bit long to you but my target for the kit is by next june.

Kev,
Pretty sure you already know this. The paint from overseas and Australia is different and they can only get as close as possible. Best is to spray them here where they can identify your color code and give you the exact match.

i know ah ahcash gor but $$$$$$!!!! ;D ;D ;D painting here is so ex! the painting alone might be more expensive than the bodykit! but well, i guess i'll still get it painted here. that's why i need more time to save up before ordering the bodykit.  |

If you get it painted local you can have it properly colour matched to your car. For example not all vivid blue Jazzes are exactly the same colour. So best to colour match to your specific car. Cars fade and different batches are slightly different colours. But yeah painting is very expensive.

axis kit is the best, but i think i will go for mugen lip kits.
1) Axis kits is a full bar kit, and replica is never perfect! so i worry the gaps between the bar and the panel may very obvious!
2) Don't know where to store my original bumper after changing to Axis!
