I think there is an is lip for sale at the moment on ebay. They can be difficult to get hold of though and usually fetch a decent sum as they are fairly rare.

I have a spare is boot lid spoiler (original type) if you need one. PM me if you need details.

For the price the is lips go for, I think you'd be better off going to the dealer and buying a brand new one for just short of Ԛ£100.

You're right about the front lip, as you can end up paying loads for a second hand one which will nearly always need to be re-painted anyway.
