Give eBay a try.

Failing that you may have to go down the road of a new part from a main dealer.

Edit: Anan1 beat me to it.

Could not get one anywhere (apart from the honda main dealer!) but while in one shop found coloured tape especially for tail lights. Its available in red orange and white. As the damage is only a small hole about 2 cm in diameter, the tape covers this perfectly. Do you think this will go down in the NCT test?

It should be OK with tape.I had a Carina for years with tape on rear lights and it always passed NCT

I just had a look on eBay, there are loads there, starting at £1.99 + p&p.

But are they the 5 door hatchback 1.4i (UK version)?

I thought you said yours was a 5 door hatchback too?

$1.99 sounds like a spurious part tbh and is defo not genuine Honda.

To answer your question, yes I can get you the part for your car and have it fitted too.

Are you Dublin based?

Honda rear lenses are dirt cheap, as there are so many left over from kids replacing them with "Lexus" rear lights.

Not too many of the 1995 UK built 5 door hatchback though.
