Getting back to my previous post about Karbonius in Spain, they will do a proper moulded part, do not require the old plastic donor part (mistake on their website), and will offer a 10% discount on a group order of 10 parts. This puts the price at around €360 (so just under 300GBP). Not sure if any postage or UK customs costs come on top of that. They have done them before, so have a mould /experience already.

Realistically though, there are dozens of carbon manufactures in the UK supporting all the F1 / Indycar /motorsport projects, so finding someone who does top notch work (e.g., as per Mikes posts below) shouldn't be too difficult, what will be challenging is finding someone to do it at a reasonable price. Most deal with fairly lucrative customers, and won't want to give their time to a low profit mini project. I get the impression Karbonius are used to dealing with small customers on a budget. The price they are quoting is almost half the price of ordering a replacement plastic on from a stealer.

The pics below are nabbed from their FB page. I'd honestly prefer to do the whole back seat or nothing though. I'm yet to see anyone do a proper mould of that. (not into laminates).
