Not sure about your comment.
If you ask your dealer, most of them are above £200 after discount.
You compare the price of used one against the price of new one and then decide whether it is worth of busying used or buy a new one.

Re: Modifying CCC trim, people have done it in the past. It is never perfect fitment. Firstly, you will have to cut and made the hole wider at the rear. And you will find that it is already wider at the front. So you end up with slightly wrong dimensions. It is doable but not perfect!
