Need a part number for the vent/light combo in the trunk area of my R55

So the R55's trunk area has the light fixture that's in a sort of vent housing on the left hand side. See pic: http://www.ausmotive.com/images/MINI-Clubman-09.jpg

I'm trying to find a part number for that plastic housing. I can't seem to narrow it down on realoem.com or even find what the actual name of the piece is. Mine popped off when I was replacing the light bulb, and I can't seem to make it stay back in place. There's no clips or anything I can see to get it back into place, and it almost seems like it was glued in place. Is that the case, or is it broken after all?

These are the rear panels:

These are the light housings:

It doesn’t look like the black plastic vent is a separate piece.

Yes, we had ones here and the little part is glued a bit to the fabric, but with some work i can be removed. Hot glue gun should put it back into place.

Yea I ended up using some gorilla glue to get it back in place. Seems kind of a lame way to keep it in place, but whatever. It worked.
