Default Exhaust Heat Shield

Can anyone tell me the cost and best place to buy a new heat shield?
Had a cat back system fitted yesterday and they guy told me that the bolts around the heat shield have corroded on one side and is causing it to hang loose. I have taken a look and the shield by the middle section is loose and also towards the rear section - is it all one shield or seperate ones? Or is there an easier way to fix (I have heard steel cable ties) or could it be removed??

Mine on my st170 were replaced shortly before I bought it and a year later they were rattling again so I just ripped the buggers off!

Got one rattling on mk ST too aswell now so that will soon be having the same treatment!
