DMC Europe would be a good place to look.

Although Ed doesn't appear to have the right hand one in stock though currently;

There is always DMCH but then you will get stung with import fees when they land over here:

The other best option is to try Dave Howarth (details in club mag) he usually has most things and as there in the UK P&P cheaper to.

...Now this may just be my eyesight, but with the following as my understanding: LEX has had her dark headliner felt material ripped out years ago, and replaced with lighter felt, closer to the colour used in grey interior cars, even though she is a black interior car (Martin told me this, since he said the inside of the car was too dark with the original material, and he preferred the lighter stuff)
...I had my two sun-visors replaced last year, with two DARK felt material ones, from Ed (Trying to stay original, with the thought that some day I may put back in the original colour felt again).
Only one side was available at the time, and Ed had to order the other for me, from the States.
I've now got them both, and they were fitted to the car at the tail end of last year (around October if memory serves), and I can honestly say, that the felt in the headliner (lighter) and the felt in the sun-visors (dark) are actually, a near on match with each other, on BOTH sides of the car (Yes the sun-visors were packed in packaging saying "DARK" on them, and they both matched each other perfectly, even though from different sides of the pond). You can not tell that there is "supposed" to be a difference between the sun-visors, and the headliner.
With that being the case, I can't see any issue in using either colours, in either interior car(s).
But as I say, this is just with my car, and my experience. I may be WAY out, since I know that LEX has been the subject to many "experimentation's" over her lifetime in the UK.
Some of it could come down to some sort of sun bleaching at some point in the lifetime of the sun-visors or something too. Although they do look brand new.
