Hi mate and welcome to TOC. ;) Try sending a personal message (PM) to our resident parts expert Parts king.

You might get one off a scrapped car. They were available as accessories on new cars from the start in '94. Only trouble is they harbour muck and stuff which just develops into corrosive rust feeder.

Good - ye they are very good cars.

Other bits that might be prone to rust is around the front windscreen - often if the screen has been replaced in the past....and the front foot wells are worth checking. they should be dry.

Other than that, 1 corrosion prone thing is the petrol tank breather pipe. Its covered by a plastic shroud in the rear nearside wheel well, which is not sealed to the elements and I had to replace that a couple of years ago - smell of petrol especially with a full tank. - fairly easy cheap job anyway.
