BROKEN: BG A-Pillar plastic trim panel

[mitch]

Are the external a-pillar covers (black plastic) on the BG's a general faulty item? both of mine are broken (one has fallen off completely) and i've been checking wreckers in my area, but on every astina i find, they are missing, or broken. having a look on other astinas i see in car parks, alot seem to be broken.

having rung mazda, i know why they arent at wreckers, because mazda are charging $162 per side (L&R)!!!!

has anyone else had this problem? and, if anyone knows where i can find good a-pillar trim panels cheaper than mazdas price, can you let me know?????
