The list price of an initial extra accessory is:

the price published by the manufacturer, importer or distributor of the car as the inclusive price appropriate for an equivalent accessory if sold with a car of the same kind, or
if there is no such price, the price published by the manufacturer, importer or distributor of the accessory that is appropriate for such an accessory.
