FK Highsports are ~£470 from Venom Motorsport, who are by far the cheapest. Konigsports are £600+ (the only real difference being damping adjustability). A set came up 2nd hand on here the other day for £450, and I was gutted I'd just fitted new Highsports. If you want a decent ride, and plan on...
Premium set of tyre if you haven't already got a set
Decent discs and pads? - maybe some braided hoses
Get any little scratches parking dents removed? - maybe wheels powdercoated?
AST top mounts?
Hang on... I'm just listing things that I need to do.
What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing she's already been told twice.

Suck it up and move on, I wouldn't even give a mate a hard time over that.
If you are that precious over your car, then pay for a front bumper respray.
I keep getting a rattling from mine on the motorway 60/70 - when I am cruising or off throttle. The noise goes away when I either accelerate, go over a bump, or have a full tank/rear passenger. I've had a good look around, checked everthing is tight and in the right order and I think the problem...
no doubt the japs are pretty awesome at what they do, but most of the best jap cars I've come across have come out of the US. (usually tuned drag cars etc).

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
Yeah I'm pretty happy, just good to know it's running well. From other peoples results at the RR day it seems like Matched inlets and an RS Tuner is the way to go. not going ot rush things though, enjoy it with the power it has now. I don't want to go figure chasing...
