Angry Fuming - One problem fixed, another caused!

Had my windscreen replaced today due to a roof tile falling off and scuffing it just before Christmas.
In doing so, the fitter has broken the scuttle panel. He was all ready for handing the keys back and NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-ing off until i inspected his work and refused to sign his job sheet!

He had the cheek to say it was fine, he'd glued it back together!
Spoke to his office and they have agreed to replace it, but struggling to find one as Rimmers & xPart are saying NLA.

Anyone know where I can get a new scuttle panel?

Edit: First time i've ever encountered the naughty word filter - but i felt it was deserved after this ordeal!

If you want it done sharpish, might be best to look at a good second hand one.

These people have them for forty odd quid

I have used them before for parts and have found them to be good.

I assume scuttle panel = the same as plenum panel?

If so here you go

I am thinking that it is this, which they broke, by the windsreen.

Anyway, I would be annoyed too and hope that the OP gets it sorted.

You wouldn't want one of the new ones they're a lot thinner, are poor quality and don't fit as well as the original.
I'd try and find a good used one
I've fitted the new ones to customers cars and I certainly wouldn't fit one to mine

Phoned them - they haven't got one in even though it shows in stock on the website.

You wouldn't have one by any chance would you Russ?

They've just phoned and no surprise said they can't find one, but they will be open to using a second hand part if needed.
