I'm currently trying to track down two parts for my 2005 Type R.
Firstly, I'm trying to get my hands on a couple of replacement headlight bulb spring retainers....the metal clips that you curse when changing your headlight bulb!!
Despite being a valuable part that you regularly come in contact with, Honda don't sell them on their own and you have to fork out £230 on a new headlight unit to get your hands on one!! Madness! Even getting one at a wreckers yard will set you back £40...just for a piece of metal that probably cost 1p to produce!
Secondly, I'm after a replacement plastic foglight cover (the grey oval one). Yet again those nice boys at Honda, despite selling many pointless nuts and bolts that you'll never need to replace, don't sell these on their own and you have to stump up £300 on a new front skirt. I only want one as well...aaaghh!! If I didn't know any better, I'd swear they're trying to get me to buy a couple of fog light kits...which on the face of it is the cheapest option.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
