Not hard to paint one yourself.

Without one you are a defect is the worst part.

Just really annoying, but alright.. because they didn't side swipe my whole car.

paint in a can will be fine, check your paint code on your compliance plate.

you will need primer, colour and clear. also some sandpaper to prep the surface.

Easy as to replace, it's all very straight forward - you just remove the triangle trim on the inside of the door, and unscrew - cant quite remember if you have to take the door trim off, but if you do, just allow another few minutes.

Too true! I keep buying stuff for my car, even though I've got stuff lying around not fitted that I bought over a year ago!
