I’m presuming part is different between RHD and LHD but I can only see 1 part no listed 51 71 7 043 619.
I want to make sure I order the right piece first time before I bite the bullet at €152.

I'd suggest putting a wanted out first on here unless you want concours?
They do come up in decent condition.
You may find some of the mounting points for the clips come off when you remove yours, and potentially a second-hand one will have some broken/missing too. But it is possible, with a sharp blade, to carefully remove the good ones off your old panel and glue them onto the replacement one.
You'll also do well to invest in a new bag of clips. (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294078814196)

My one just disintegrated when I removed it to clear out leaves underneath and I’m guessing most will be like this now it is 19 years old after all.
My cars a keeper so I don’t mind buying new,still don’t like the price though
Thanks for the advice though,will order bag of clips at the same time.

The part is different between LHD and RHD yes.
To find the other part number you have to go back to select car and then select LHD (or RHD) to get the other side.
For reference the part numbers are

They are still available, pricey but I suspect it is one of those parts that will soon go out of production.

Or have I misread? Is it LHD you need?
