Anyone know where I can get a replacement that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg?

Try Eurospares - they break cars as well as selling new bits.

Eurospares is a good call. Be prepared for how “off” the paint will look if they use the original codes. I rang the dealer, said I’d lost one, they said come in, we’ll have it ready painted for you and clip in on. It was so much darker it was ridiculous. In any case, I was having the front of the car PPF’d, so the bumper was all resprayed, and in the end all was well. According to the dealer, those bits parting company with the car is common if you use the washers whilst going north of 100mph........

You have to make sure the washer liquid has plenty of anti freeze solution in it or they will keep popping out and breaking
every time the weather gets coldyikes

Mine were replaced by Maserati and cost me a fortune

I had a BMW that was reknowned for doing that so I removed the headlight popup washer jet fuse - don't know if it's possible on the Maser.

They don’t work above 80mph theoretically to stop them blowing off.
