Default Need a new battery cover (lid) - please help!

I have a 2003 A4 1.8T Quattro. I wanted to give a friend a jumpstart by connecting the batteries, and it was freezing and dark so I couldn't see the markings on the plastic battery cover, and instead of sliding it sideways I pulled up (not even hard) and snapped off the plastic tabs that hold the cover down. Could you please tell me a good (cheap) place online to buy a new lid? Thanks very much!

Just leave it off and save weight. God knows these cars are heavy enough as it is!

Okay, well it's not a track car so I don't need to save the weight of the battery cover, and I'd like to keep it original. No other place to obtain these besides an Audi dealership?

Excellent, thanks! Do you know what the "larger" rain tray cover is? Isn't it just the stock setup?
