United-Kingdom Exterior trim snapping off on the motorway!!

Hi, I am a new bod here and love the site. Got my 2002 Cooper In feburary and all has been great fun................except yesteday driving round the road to hell (M25) on my way home travelling at 75mph when I hear a stone chip noise followed by a second similar noise almost straight away, this is then followed by a loud whistling like the window is open a millimetre or so. I pull over to investigate expecting the window rubber maybe to have come loose............but the whole plastic cover (length of the pillar) on the door pillar between the passenger front door and windscreen has snapped off!!!!. There are 4 clips which I guess were the stone chip sounds but its also screwed in all down one side.

Obviously not too happy and need some advice as to anyone having had the same problem, off to the dealership next week I guess to find a replacement, does anyone know where to get these except through the dealer??

Any advice please
