I'm sure the cost was horrendous, yet the price was zero...
An individual could never pay Rolls Royce enough per part to cover it's cost. Engineering rate is probably US$150/hr and shop rate is probably over US$100/hr. You have engineering time, manufacturing, setup, NC programming, testing, material cost, certification (if required), etc.
Anything they would do would be a gift. It would be a P.R. stunt. At over $11 million (!) for a new P&W 4084 (from a Boeing 777), one can only guess that an accessory case or nose case would cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for something you would probably sell less than 20 units of.
