had my type R a week and first injury :(

Dinalli · 30th May 2008, 21:12

Well I supose it had to happen.

Backing into the garage this evening (insurance insist on it )

Ive managed to crack the rear center plastic bit that looks like the rear lights (god knows what you would call it). Basically bikes handle bars cracked it.

So anyone know what its called, and how much one would cost and is it easy to fit one ?

HappyMan · 30th May 2008, 21:14

Can you take a photo and post it for us to see. That way people could give you better advice

Dinalli · 30th May 2008, 21:28

sure

any ideas of cost ?

Is it a complete unit?

Jack The Lad. · 30th May 2008, 21:33

PM a few of the Honda Dealers on here Dinalli, the may fight for your order.

sergiogon · 30th May 2008, 21:41

oh men... that was just lack of luck...

gray52 · 30th May 2008, 22:04

there was one on ebay last week, and i think they are a member on here also.

angie4m · 30th May 2008, 22:04

It was £197 delivered from Holdcroft at the end of last year. It a whole new unit you need. Look for smoked rear light for type r in the holdcroft section

Rich 11 · 30th May 2008, 22:12

Ouch.................I feel for you mate , hope you get it sorted !

illegalhunter · 31st May 2008, 06:41

Thats a or 1 £200

FWH · 31st May 2008, 08:27

Have a look here:

f.ss.t is selling one on e-bay

Dinalli · 31st May 2008, 09:40

thanks for the replies.

Unfortunatly the one on ebay has ended

Well i was up at 630 this morning, supergluing the bits back on and taking the whole unit out, so at least until I get a new one sorted It wont just fill with rain.

£245 does seem very steep for what is basically a light unit from the dealers

angie4m · 31st May 2008, 09:52

Thread is here where Holdcroft can supply for £197 to your door Type R light unit centre smoked with red H to fit Type S ?

Has your dealer quoted £245?

sorry the actual price is £234 that at least 2 dealers have quoted me.

What a rip off eh !

Vet_2010 · 31st May 2008, 13:37

It might be worth checking out a few breakers of Type-Rs on eBay or from local yards!

Yeah, it is. Is that dealers on here? As some on here offer discount on parts

As for trying a breakers yard, trying to find one with a fn2 type r is a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack. There have been a few folk on here who don't have type r's but want cheap type r parts for there civic who have complained how they can't get parts from a breakers yard. I think they expect us to write off our cars to provide them with these lol!

Dinalli · 31st May 2008, 22:18

Price was from some local dealers. I still think £200 is a lot for what is basically a big light unit.

Im gonna keep my eyes open on ebay and the like. Hopefully i can pick one up. If not will go through dealers on here.

f.ss.t · 31st May 2008, 22:22

hi there! it was me who had the item up on ebay- its called a lens - and mine was damaged when a pickup reversed into me. i bought a whole new light for a rip-off 245 from honda. my item did sell on ebay for 120£....but, i havent received payment yet, and its been 4 days..so i may relist the item if your keen. Barney

Dinalli · 1st June 2008, 14:37

whats the damage to it ? If its minimal I may be interested if the other guy doesnt pay up.

f.ss.t · 1st June 2008, 15:35

hi there, there is no damage to it at all. it is absolutely fine, its just been on my car for 6 months thats all, and its got all the bulbs in it aswel. it is in very good condition. and is fully functional. im giving the german guy till midnight on monday 3rd june, then im going to re-list it. Barney

Dinalli · 4th June 2008, 08:30
