Anyone Retrofitted the Power Socket in the Boot?

Hi folks - looking for some help from the forum. Now I think in NA they have a rear power socket in the boot as standard, but in OZ it is a separate option (which I forgot to order) & am now looking to try to buy the parts & retrofit it myself.

As ever, BMW OZ have been startlingly unhelpful & told me "you are not equipped with option SA575 'Additional 12V sockets', so you won't be able to find a power socket in the boot as it is part of that option".

I rang my dealer's Parts section & they were "like doh!" when I asked for the part number(s) & could only give me a part number(s) for the actual power socket itself (no mounting bracket or wiring).

I have attached a file showing an F10 equipped with option 575 & you can see where the power socket is located in the boot (ringed in red).

So I'm wondering if anyone here (maybe from Europe or here in OZ) has retrofitted this feature? Appreciate any assistance & thanks in advance.
