Help with this part

Can you help me identify this part? Some douche must have backed into me while I was parked and just took off.
I need the name and possibly part no. as well as how easy/difficult it may be to source/replace by myself.
Thanks in advance! Happy holidays!

So the A-pillar is the front support as well as the center? Huh, I never knew that. Lol
Thanks for the quick help. Hopefully it's not too difficult to replace.
One other stupid question...I assume right or left is as you sit behind the wheel, correct?

The center is the B pillar and the rear is the C pillar.

yeah I get it, but the OP seemed to be saying that the A pillar was also the center, which in his photo is not pictured.

Fermanbmw has the "left A-pillar trim moulding" genuine MINI listed on e-bay for $59 shipped. I purchased my power steering pump from them for $345, shipped.

Sorry to see that, 51137128157 is the part number and comes with the clips. All the trim pieces here. When you snap it in line it up first and match the distance to the other side.
