    When I fitted my crash bungs last week I noticed one of my plastic fairing fasteners was missing so I nipped up to my local Honda dealer to purchase a couple.

    THEY CHARGED ME £4.30 FOR TWO?

    For all you budding mathematical geniuses thats £2.15 each, now if thats not taking the proverbial then what is?:eek:

    They certainly know how to charge. Seen some prices of some of the clips for fairings. About £2.50 each :eek:

    If you are refering to the black plastic push release ones they sell them in Halfords for around £2.79 for eight, they are called trim panels rivets part number HFX 363
    They also do the screw type as well, both work as good as the originals
