Wii spares

Here's my problem. The cover for the memory card slots and gamecube controller sockets is broken.

The nintendo.com website has the replacement part but it's only available for delivery to US and Canada. They refer to it as Nintendo GameCube Memory Card Slot Cover. I've googled away for hours but had no joy and nintendo uk don't respond to my E-Mails.

Has anyone else had this part break and subsequently found a replacement?

Any help greatly appreciated.

    I can find whole console replacement shells for £16.99 though I suppose that's taking it a bit far. The covers sell for $1!! Have you tried posting on a Nintendo forum?

    Yeah I saw the full shells on deal extreme for 16 dollars but they were OOS. Would prob buy that as a last resort but it seems overkill to replace the whole lot when I only need a small, removable part :confused:

    TYVM for your reply ;)
