Yes and they're the hard plastic type, not the flimsy versions.

there are 2 halves to the covers:

192 819 415 C - main cover - 21.62+VAT
192 905 399 A - ecu cover - 5.77+VAT

Check your drain holes arn't blocked, and remove the ECU and check the connections on the plug for cossosion & damp.  The plug should be watertight, try smearing a bit of vaseline on the rubber seal before you plug it back in!

I'd also give it a full service, starting with the dizzy cap & rotor arm.  Dirt cheap from

Your ECU should have a plastic cover over it followed by the scuttle tray. Spray WD40 on all the electrical/ignition components to displace the water and it should be fine.

Check the drain hole under the scuttle to make sure thay aren't clogged up so you don't get standing water around the ECU.
