Can someone help me find this part?

I am looking to replace the plastic lens over the right license plate bulb on my R53. Of course I will replace the bulb with new when I do this. Any ideas? Thanks guys

Have you looked on either the skematucs on realoem.com or penskeparts.com.....
That will give you the part #, and show if it is sold as a separate part, or just a part of an assembaly...
You most cost effective part might be a junkyard, or maybe to scavange parts from another member that had to replace their boothandle due to a bad trunk release switch...

Get a new one, many times the clips break on the used ones when you go to put them back in.
We sell them new for $6

ZippyNH: I had looked at RealOEM parts without a whole lot of success, the junk yard idea is a good one, I never really think of that.

Since I have the option I will probably just buy a couple from WayMotorWorks, that was what I was hoping to find.

Thanks to all on NAM for being a great site to post for help.
