Yeah its a 28 spline LSD from memory rare spares did have a new one, cos i bought it off them, along with the eyebrows. I promptly returned them as the finish on the boot strip was completely different to that if the eyebrow thingys (strip was satin, eyebrows gloss) and looked stupid together. Anyways, long story short; wet sand them with a fine sandpaper and get them painted. You won't be able to tell the difference, thats what I did and they look mint. Cheaper too!
