So either £38 inclusive of VAT from TPS or £40 from dealers, inclusive of VAT...Rather use dealers, less hassle. Cheers guys!

I found them extremely hard to source last year, the problem is not the plastic it's the fact it has a metal strip in so it's a pain in the ass to copy as its expensive, therefore not many people do. Ended up going to the dealer, luckily had two strips in stock and wanted to get rid so got them £40 all in, was quoted over £45 each side though!

Otherwise if the rust isn't too bad, just get rid of it by soaking in it baking soda mixed with water (use only a little water). Brush rust off with a metal brush. Afterwards lubricate it with some light lubricating oil with anti-rust preferably. It won't rust again then.
