Existing 400x400 MPK vent, Model 46 style i.e. with the larger splash/snow protection dome. So like this:

Not like this:

I need a new flynet with integrated blind for it (the clasp/clip on bit has broken). But one corner is also broken off the dome - it and the other one is probably 17 years old and snapped off when I was cleaning. The dome damage is not critical but.....
The internal frame is white (or was....its aged...but definitely not beige). I can get the separate flynet/blind part easily enough - in white. Seems impossible to get the dome on its own, so have considered buying the complete vent with flynet i.e. inc. frame and using the dome and net/blind. However, seems impossible to get this style - large dome - with the white frame and therefore white net/blind. I've seen one in beige.
1. Anyone any ideas on where I can try ?
The other thought was to take the opportunity to replace this vent with the MPK vision star pro i.e. one of these: https://www.leisuredepot.co.uk/mpk-vision-star-pro-roof-vent-skylight-40cm-x-40cm-in-white.html

This will (obviously) require removal of the existing frame and replacement with the new one.
2. How difficult is this to self install and do a good watertight job ? Also, are these really better (I like the fully integrated concertina blind if I'm honest).
