If you get in contact with fk and explain what part you need from what kit they will be able to sell you just that. I had to cut a collar off a previous set of coilover and got a replacement collar for around about £25 with postage from Germany ofcourse.

Has anybody seen these type of lockrings

http://www.fk-shop.de/en/Suspension-Tuning/Coilovers-Accessories/Locking-ring-with-shear/Locking-rings-for-coilover-suspension-Set-of-2-oxid-1.html

Just wondered how they work? As i Carnt see a thread inside the collar.
I dont see how just clamping it in place would hold work!!
