Well, there's a part out of a black P5 in the FS section that I'm trying to get the driver's side rear wheel well plastic from since mine got shredded by something that killed my tire & got sent through there a couple of times. He probably has the front too.

I don't recall that being a very expensive part at least from one of the online parts distributors like www.rockauto.com. Try the dealer first and get the part number. If it is too much from them then shop around.

I looked into replacing mine when I first bought my car (used). The liner on the driver's side of mine had a small section ripped out around one of the fasteners. I patched the hole with a 2" square piece of vinyl from a vinyl floor tile and some sort of rubbery adhesive (don't recall which one), and that has held for the last several years. The patch was slightly ugly at first since it was lighter than the liner, but now that it's just as filthy as the rest of the wheel liner you have to look hard to see that it's there. Anyway, I vaguely remember that the replacement part was around $40, but since the floor tile was only 69 cents from Home Depot, cheap won.
 
The fender piece as I recall extends from the wheel well all the way under some of the car.. it's a big plastic piece... But the dealers quote them at 20 some odd dollars up here in Canada. Porb add in more for all the screws n all that.

Check the dealer.
