It's possibly QRB500250PVJ.

Around the GBP100 mark.

Have a look here:

Thank you Jim, the perfect answer. Except the price, obviously.

However, one Ebay search for the part number later and I have a complete (used) shroud for £18. That's more like it! And I promise not to over-tighten the torx screws on this one.

Beat me to it, lol, as saw the £18.00 one and said listing ended

Plus 1, indeed very easy to over tighten the screws, I won’t say how I know Whistle

Have used in the past a few wraps of ptfe on the screws , or fitted a slightly oversized one particular on some of the seat panels

No worries. They are a bit pricey new. I was wondering why you'd need a replacement; now I know...
Good luck with the search.

As Mr Stuart mentioned an oversize bolt or PTFE often works if the holes still have enough torsional integrity.

PTFE tape? I'd never have thought of that. Good call! I'll do that.

Must admit I was taught that when I was doing my plumbing / heating apprenticeship and has got me out of a trouble a few times,

Plus please don’t think I’m trying to teach u how to suck eggs but have the roll of ptfe turned correctly so u always keep the tape tensioned as u wind it on , also if u have some , can use a smear of plumbers silicone grease on top of the ptfe

Glad it helped and always nice being able to contribute in a small way
