Default Broken fuel door hinge

While filling up tonight (even took a full tank without a fight!) I noticed that the alignment was off when I closed the door afterwards. In looking at it, it's the plastic base of the hinge that mounts on the body that is broken at the bottom.

Anyone have the part number(s) (01 C4) I need to replace and what is involved in replacing that piece (didn't look close because it's damn cold)?

Thanks for the link. Looks like it should be pretty simple since the hinge is already broken (seems like getting the clips off without breaking it gives people trouble).

Guess I should have waited until I could search from my computer rather than just posting from my phone...
