I'm sorry but £1000 for a piece of plastic trim, remounting and recalibrating a sensor sounds like a lot to me, and highlights the point I made on page 1 about how owners are being bent over regarding the cost of ancillary repairs.

My GF had a similar incident recently with her Toyota Hybrid that 'needed' a new tail light cluster as the lens had a small crack in it - €535 plus the labour to fit. I said "WTF!", but her response was "It's a lease car, what do I care?" Unfortunately, it's that kind of attitude which is giving manufacturers the green light to implement their 'think of a number' pricing.
