yea woozy,the honda is just a plastic trim for the variator cover, for me i didnt think it was worth the money and didnt like it when i saw it,so went for the proper air box cover instead quite dear but good quality ;)

The garnish is what PT63 sent me for free :D
I'm guessing the original part that that goes on is alot more difficult to find.
Have you tried Honda parts online? I think it's called that, it's on my bookmarks at home but I'm using my phone at work right now.

Righty ho Woozy! It was me that pointed this out the first time round - It's still available and still on Ebay under the original listing.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-PCX-125 ... 3cc1623da9

For anyone else looking to see what's on Ebay type in "honda PCX 125" and set the advanced search options to worldwide :D

They are a business listing so might take it, especially considering it's been round on Ebay twice already.

Failing that whats wrong with the original?

Get the duct tape on the inside, fill it with cataloy, sand it down and spray it.

unfortunately the hole is right through the honda logo so it would look odd

good idea though

the part you are after is the transmission cover.
honda part number is - 11340-KWN-900 and when i get to work i can find out a retail price for you, but i seem to remember when i was looking it wasn't cheap. i was gonna get a spare to paint black then then changed y mind and i was gonna get it at cost.

i had a look at work today, RRP from Honda is £99 + VAT, your dealer pays a maximum of £70 +VAT so he isn't making a huge profit on that compared to something like say tyres where they make 100% + profit on them.
