Shimano 105 front derailleur- what do you call this bit, and can you get spares?

On the inside of the front derailleur cage, frame side, there’s a little plastic pad - the bit that rubs against the chain to push it sideways when you’re changing up.

it clips into the metal derailleur cage with some little plastic lugs. On mine, one of these lugs is broken.

Can you replace this plastic bit, and what do you call it?

I can't answer the question, but confirm the same part exists on my Tiagra front derailleur.

EDIT - I think this is it, a "skid plate". I can't find one for the 5800 which I assume yours is?
