I looked at originally specifying this with my order as a dealer-fit option, but their 'fitting price' was almost as much as the cost of the torch!! I looked up the fitting on TOPIx and decided that I didn't want the dealer cutting holes in my trim.
Does anyone know how much that pop-off panel actually costs to buy as I'm tempted to fit one but would want to be able to undo it should I sell on the car early (or as in the last, give the car back).

I want the plastic panel already fitted? Where can I buy it! No way I will waste time cutting and doing all that work...

No way you will get it 'already fitted'
It's a dealer fit accessory so you'd better speak to them.

You can buy cutting bits which look like drill bits but cut sideways. That would make cutting out the panel a breeze or else use a Dremel.
Surprised the trim panel is so expensive.
I noticed from the new RRS options list that here are a number of dealer fit options, apparently an increasing trend. I'd be very wary of letting them do it, cack-handed are the words which come to mind.

And that's why I did it myself.

Yes they don't have them as well - as I think you find it is in any UK built car for the UK market, they aren't required by law here so they don't get fitted - same with daylight running tail lights. I don't recall any of the Audi's or Fords that I have owned having them either
