The things you can buy from the states are bumper caps they cover these took you are having trouble with. I am expecting mine in Kevlar to be delivered today cost me about £135 from heel toe on the forum.
Thing is these only work with single exit exhausts..
Heres pic of mine...

So I finally get my very tasty carbon fibre exhaust cap from GT Motorsports (free shipping even to the UK!)
As you might remember, the back of my car looks like this..
So I start to remove the cracked part...
...to reveal exactly the same part underneath, in extremely good condition?
...odd. And does explain why some forum members thought I was mental and that the broken bit of trim was part of the bumper. Might be on your car, but mine has added extras!
If you glance back at the first and second pics, you can see where the additional bit of trim has been fairly badly trimmed around the rear foglight too. Strange.
So on with the new piece!
Which also covers up the rear fog light.... DOH!
So won't be attaching it before my Ring trip, as that light might come in handy!
Will have another think when I get back - maybe add an LED rear fog somewhere else, or perhaps try drilling / cutting the trim?

It was $215
http://www.gtmotoring.com/product_info.php...products_id=100
Free shipping but then £34 customs.
Very well made, and incredibly light. Comes with 3M tape to hold it on, but read elsewhere it's worth sticking a couple of self tappers at each end just to be sure

if enough people are interested in the rear carbon covers i might be able to sort out a group shipping. i can import things from the US alot cheaper than other people and hopefully return the savings to the members.
i don't do it for profit, but like to help out the clubs i'm members of.

To get the fog light to be seen how do you think drilling a lot of small holes to let the light shine through would look?
Don't want to chip or crack it y'see
Ideally like a few holes around 2p size

Yep, thought of that - just waiting to hear back from GT as to the best method to drill it
