Yes, my spare is Vavona and complete, but does have a thin crack across the top lacquer above the c-clip, generally not visible TBH.
I'll bring it along to the June meet if I remember. It's part number 4D0 864 375 F.

I'm a bit mystified how the trim movement is supposed to work, It clearly is supposed to lift up at the back (due to the curved slot) when the handbrake is off, to align with the fixed trim. But the way it's pulled forward to do that seems woefully inadequate.

I'm going to have a closer look at it sometime, with my thinking cap on.
