centre console damaged

hello

I've managed to crack the plastic surrounding the city and fog light buttons

it appears to be a small strip of plastic which begins at the air vents and ends halfway through the hazard light button.

When I've rang the dealerships in my area, they've all told me I need to replace the full centre console and that the buttons are circuit board are all part of the same unit and it's going to cost a small fortune. ~£80

But when looking on the internet at centre consoles, they dont appear to come with buttons and they end at the hazard light.

Does anyone know if it's possible to just get ahold of the plastic fascia surrounding the 4 buttons (city and foglights)? and even better a part number would be great (silver console 1.2 16v mk2)

Many thanks

Jim

I've seen quite a few Mk2 centre consoles for sale on ebay, could be worth a look.
