I've changed mine (the windscreen (bottom) cover/cowl). If i remember correctly, the item priced at RM 160 and you may want to replace the "apron covers" (left & right) as well. The part number if is 51718232633/4 (RM100/pair). Its a less-than-an-hour DIY.

Thanks bro good info...
But this is replacing with new items right...

Ya agreed, i replaced mine with new ones since its not only cracked but considered "hancus" already. The apron covers was really in a bad shape...
