A good place to try is with the rally prep firms much cheaper to buy a shell already prepped and painted thats what I ended up doing on my build

Might be worth just buying a type r and stripping off it what you don't want and selling bits. Seen them go for £4500

74f Boss Not the one at the top of the page think that's a custom colour. Thought you were talking about the standard type r sonic blue which is 74f.
