B3 plastic arch covers.

Trying to find a set of plastic arche covers for my b3. Anybody know where I can find some?
Only set I can find is on eBay for almost a grand.
I'm hoping that's just an idiot that put wrong price. And he won't reply to messages

What parts fit?

Ok I have had my b3 estate now for about 5 months and I love it.
What I want to know is what parts from the b4 fit on the b3? Like interior. Seats. Rear lights.
Stuff like that. Or bits from other cars?
