Where To Buy A Throttle Body?

I've just seen a 52mm one on the wood&pickett site but that was up at £160 plus VAT!
Has anyone see one for less? It can be a 48mm one I'm not too bothered.
Mine is a little warped and could do with replacing/upgrading.
Thanks!

Don't get a Plastic one, particularly if it's been used!!!

Yep thanks for the suggestions and link but i definitely don't want another plastic one!
Forgot about mini sport, thanks nicksuth. Only a couple of quid more for the uprated alloy one on there too so I may as well get one of those. I'm not sure if the 52mm throttle body will do that much on it's own though

I think you'll need some engine tweeks to make use of the 52mm Body, i.e. K&N Cone Filter, Roller Rockers, Ported/Polished Head, LCB, etc. etc., oh, and a PBV to adjust the fuel pressure? Mine also has the Icon Race Chip fitted to give that extra bit.
I had a k&n induction kit thingamijig fitted but swapped back to the original box last week as the noise was a bit too much for my ear drums as a daily drive! All the rest of that stuff is just words to me, I'm still learning I'm sorry. It all sounds very exciting though, maybe I'll get round to doing those sort of things in the future once I've learnt what they all are!
I think there is a 52mm for sale in classifieds.
So there is! thankyou!

You might want to ask the "Sprocketmeister"??

May have to do a little reading into this/aka ask "the sprocketmeister" guru before I buy the 52mm throttle body then methinks.
Cheers for the heads up!

After fitting it you will have to reset the throttle sensor, you may be able to do this by pressing the accelerator five times while the ignition is turned on.
