   You can buy the mounting plate itself, that unbolts from leg and can be changed, but you will probs need whole leg out to change it.

    If you register with them only takes a couple of mins then put your car details in then you will get a list of all parts available for your car.
    Just make sure you put the top of strut together in the same way it came off
