Side Sill Cover

Trying to source a genuine L/H side sill plastic trim/cover - Part # 1K4853859B9B9. Looking at parts images it seems it is fixed with (tapping) screws at the bottom with a peel-off adhesive strip along its length at the top. I have seen other images and parts mentions of trim brackets too but not sure if these are required or come with the new cover - no seller images describe or show this bracket.
Any ideas or own experiences?
Cheers

Thanks for the info terrier :)
Are those two plastic mounting clips/adapters each side already there and reusable? I made the error in buying non-genuine (and dark grey) VAG side covers which require priming then black top coat, whereas the genuine covers are black satin plastic and require no painting. Will return the lookalikes and take the hit on the proper genuine ones.

Thanks. Have bookmarked a couple of suppliers, LLL being one of them. Other OEM side cover options are from Lithuania or Latvia. Either way, nothing in the UK unless it's ebay for used and marked ones.
