Wanted - engine undertray and front arch liners for 2005 SG Forester (pre-facelift)

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place, but I am not sure where to post this. It is quite amazing, but I have only just noticed that the plastic engine undertray from the front of my pre-facelift 2005 XT Forester is missing, so I am on the lookout for one. I am also on the lookout for a pair of front plastic wheel arch liners as mine have seen better days. I live in Scotland, so ideally if someone from the UK had these items. I have tried all the local scrapyards (there are only two in this area), but they don't have any Foresters at all :(
I am clearly not expecting to get these for free, and I would be happy to reimburse for shipping and time spent packing.
Thanks in advance
 
2005 Subaru Forester Very modified owns
So far this car has had an EJ257 engine and a 6-speed DCCD transmission fitted. The transmission came out of a 2017 WRX STI, so I had real problems with the speedo drive. I fitted DCCD Pro VSSPlus, and that has fixed the speedo issue. The car has got Forester STI shockers and springs and has got Brembo brakes (4-pots on the front). It has some PIAA 18" wheels fitted. These have a 5x114.3 PCD, so I have got a set of 15mm adapters that fix that issue. The plan was to use 5x114.3 hubs when I had the 6-speed transmission fitted, but it was going to be too much trouble to fit them. I had already bought the 5x114.3 wheels and had them refurbished, so I was determined to use them :) I have fitted newage STI front seats and have just got hold of a matching rear seat out of a newage STI wagon. I've fitted a newage JDM Impreza STI instrument cluster in the car using a conversion wiring loom. This cluster has the DCCD display which my DCCD Pro Controller hooks up to and works well. I had to customise the cluster surround/shroud as the Impreza instrument cluster is a completely different shape to the Forester one. I used fibre glass on the back of the original one. With a lot of hard work (and plastic filler) you can barely tell that the surround has been modified :D I'm in the process of fitting an STI front bumper (not a genuine one as I couldn't find one), but a fibre glass one from HD Tuning. I've done various other bits and bobs to the car, such as fitted a spec C steering wheel, Forester STI heater controls, and a few stickers here and there that will probably peel off sometime soon. I have booked the car into a body shop to get a respray as the original paintwork is quite scratched. I am going to get a full graphics kit fitted to the car and get the body shop to lacquer over it to make it permanent. The only thing to do after that is to get the engine forged, but the car is currently running 330 whp and 340 lbft, so that will do for the time being. The engine and gearbox are pretty low mileage (engine has around 67,000 miles and the gearbox 50,000).
